So, what do you want a seller to do?

Write nothing about the item except 'as-is, where is? And get no bids as a
result of insufficient info?

Fully test it to original factory specs? And put a high minimum on the item? A
buyer will ALWAYS find SOME fault if they try hard enough.

Offer it with a money back guarantee, including shipping? Someone buys it,
breaks it during play, and wants their $$ back.

NOTE: I am NOT a seller!!! You are just asking the impossible. I'm happy if I
get what I see and assume everything is as-is.
