That is a da_n good question that I have often wondered. Why on earth would they even sell something that they know does not work? What do they think; that it will magically fix itself from the garage sale to the buyer's home??
Generally, after this happens to me (and, ultimately, we are to blame for not asking the item to be tested) I get mad for a bit, then I classify the seller as a schmuck, and realize there are many out there and you cannot win nor try to educate them on honesty, integrity, etc.
Sad really, because it's usually not about much $$. "The customer is always right" typically does not apply to garage sales.
