Selling for parts or not working

[pacificchihuahua]

Hi all, I'm a fairly new seller on another account.

I've read a number of posts re confusion over selling/buying "for parts or not working" category and I'd like to set out on the right foot to avoid problems:

I've found some very old audio equip. from the 50s-70s in our garage but I honestly have no idea what they are/do (i.e. little amplifier box but no idea how or what it would connect to, etc.)

I'm clear that I should list it as FPONW but my confusion is the description. For example, if an item powers on but other than that I've no way of knowing what else is or isn't working, which of these should I, or should I NOT, include in the description:

1) item powers on, but I've no idea if it works as intended

2) Please note that this item cannot be returned if it does not work, therefore, please purchase with the assumption that it does NOT.

And related: If I state that something's NOT working and they receive it and it does, can they complain that it was an INAD?! LOL,  I'm not entirely kidding- I mean, you might say why would someone complain about that, but it's just one of those bizarre things that could just happen to me 😆🙄

Does this all makes sense??

Please let me know if you need me to clarify.

Thanks for any replies, folks!!

It's still very risky, because I think some people just buy things - without reading the listing completely - and that is where you'll run into trouble. If you include in the heading like you said above : "BROKEN AMPLIFIER" someone may get the idea that maybe they could fix it, or use it for parts, then when that does not work, rather than file for a return, they'll just wait 30 days and leave neg. feedback - you definitely do not want that. So my advice is don't list it - just set it out for recycle.
