Maybe you can check the seller's honesty by asking them a "loaded" question. For example, ask them something about the unit and give them an incorrect answer to that question at the same time. For example, I can't recall what beeps the thing makes when the new game button is pressed, but let's assume in truth it makes three beeps when you press the "new game" button. So you ask the seller "Can you please verify that when it is powered up and you press the new game button, you get one long beep only". You get the drift. If they say "yes", well you have most of your answer. Of course, you need to know the real answer to the question when you ask it, and from the sounds of it you don't have a live unit.
