i think the bidders were hoping to fix it

the seller is not being 100% clear about this

he says he does not have the power supply to check the Robot and he also
mentions that the previous owner said it works fine
but he will only sell the Robot as defective

this puts some doubt in the minds of the bidders

personally i think the seller knows damn well it dosent work because it is not
so hard to get a proper adaptor and a working Robot is worth double what this
sold for and i think the seller knows that

so he would have every motive to test it

i think he did test it and it dosent work so the story about the missing adaptor
this of course is all my opinion and i could be completley wrong..but this is
what i think

Best
