why do sellers do this? "Untested" just means broken/not working

How does the work?  Or rather not work? 

This is why when you post "not tested" we all know it means not working.  Crap sellers. 

I know, I know... you guys keep telling me to not buy off of ebay.

Untested means crap, broken, abused, incomplete and generally not wanted.   ;) ;)

What's funny is that sellers on Yahoo Auctions Japan will usually disclose every minor scuff and cosmetic blemish.  I bought some used parts for a Japanese arcade game once where the word used to describe the item condition translated as "painful".  They were certainly well used but still in better condition than most I see on public use machines in the USA.  On YAJ, "untested" really seems to mean just that; the sellers are more than willing to disclose known issues.  I'm not sure if it's cultural or just an ebay thing.
BobA:
I think it is an ebay thing.  If it does not work just say untested and you may get a few dollars more.  :angry:

I sell some stuff untested mainly because i'm not always willing to spend the time hooking some stuff up or rewiring proprietary things to sell then for$10 or $20 because the time isn't always worth the return to mess with the stuff to see if it works properly
