While a certain number of such claims must be legit, IMHO this is a far-overused excuse for "I either tried to get away with something, or I was just careless, and in either case I don't want to own up to it."

This reminds me of the increasing trend from sellers of vintage electronics and computers who list the items as "un-tested" or "parts only" with a mint condition or "collector/museum" price tag attached.

I tend to assume any electrical item that is advertised as untested has been switched on and the seller is just covering themselves for when it turns up and is obviously not working.

call me a cynic
