Your expectation is not unrealistic from a buyers perspective, however you were spared another miserable problem when he sold it to another with lower expectations. Unless you can yourself fix something; move on. On your second scenario, be glad again. Sellers like this who claim no system to connect to, may not be lying but, and here is the lesson. Buy from sellers who know, and have means to state CLEARLY. Now, just because someone says "No Returns" does not mean you can not return it if there is a reasonable expectation that it is as described. I say that because you often see ads saying, "Works Great", never tested myself and from there less obvious statements ensue. AG is not immune to it but far better than the Eb... store ads. Buy from people who know, with clear communication, not hard line BS, and good reputations. Always, the item is not truly yours until the delivery is made with out broken parts, otherwise some sellers try and say you bought it the minute you paid and I'm not responsible for shipping issues. They are responsible for them since they paid for the label even if it were with your money. The seller must know immediately and the seller must chase the shipper for insurance. Good luck!
