I sell TV parts online. All of my parts are tested to work. All, of course, except for the as is parts.
The as is parts I have listed under the "for parts not working" condition with the disclaimer "as is" in the item title and the phrase (thereabouts) "as is parts are untested, sold at a discount and are nonreturnable as we assume they don't work" plastered all over the listings.
Shockingly, 99% of the people that buy them get it. They either buy for core or they figure for the price, the gamble is worth it. I've only had one negative feedback from a guy who wasn't happy about his non-working part not working.
Which brings me to the twit this morning:
"I'll buy this board from you if you warranty it. I don't buy without a warranty."
There are a few things about this that are funny. Most notably, him wanting a warranty on a part that I say will not work fairly bluntly. The other one is that I have another board that's tested and working, but it's priced accordingly. So, not only his this guy an idiot, he's effing cheap. I'm not selling dollar-menu cheeseburgers, buddy!

Determine the difference between the 'as is' part price and the one that works. Respond: Sure! However, I rigorously check things in order to warranty it, and that will add a fee of 'X' to the price. Still want it?
