I don't know a lot about phones but like you, I would not be tempted to bid.

 

The whole ad seems negative. It starts with an 'of course' it won't function like most phones but then doesn't give any details at all about the phone or what it can do.

I gave a cynical laugh at the bit below in red:

 

What details? There weren't any.They don't actually explain what the faults may be but then say they won't answer any questions either.

 

Yet their auction seems to be going like a rocket. I just wish our stuff had sold so quickly back in the day, with so little description, just a bunch of stuff that screams "no responsibility-buy at your own risk"

 

 
It is being sold as is, the details that are included are part of this deal and price.
