Hesch:
These things are so big and old that not many sellers are testing them, let alone allowing returns

Did the seller say it didn't work in the listing?  If not, return it.
Hesch:
All it says is powers on and untested. I'd have to pay for shipping both ways and a "15% restocking fee". Got it for $37, and shipping to me was $16. Doesn't seem like there's any benefit to returning it, since that $37 would be eaten by shipping and what not. Unless there's something I don't understand, which is entirely possible since I almost never eBay.

Someone who is more familiar with the eBay return policy should chime in, but just because the seller claims "no returns" or "restocking fees" doesn't mean much of anything.  The PS2 game I just bought was listed as "no returns," but I still got my money back and if the seller had wanted the game back (he didn't) he would have been paying for the return shipping. 

Your situation is a little different however, because the seller listed it as untested.  I'm not sure if that covers him or not.  My game was listed and "complete" and in "good condition" so the seller had no leg to stand on. 
Megatron:
"Untested" is how sellers get around the eBay return policy when selling broken stuff.  Typically "untested" means buy at your own risk. If the listing gave any indication that the unit may not work correctly, I think it covers them from eBay guarantee.  However, as TDI already stated, if they list something one way and it comes different, then you can open a case and resolve it.
