I actually bid on it as well - and I read the d e s cr i p t i o n to read exactly as you've stated. 

As I have just bought a project pin which the DMD is believed to be broken (I reckon a cracked screen is a bad sign) I was going to use it for testing until I had completed the restore and got a new one, and then as a backup.

There was never any doubt in my mind that the display was going to be less than 100%, some people just expect the best for next to nothing. 

And for the record - I belive I came second

I still don't understand what this guy is on about but I have told him I would refund his money if and when I receive the same display back in the same condition it was in when I posted it.  If I get it back and it is the same as what it was you are more than welcome to grab it if you are still interested.
