Default Buying Used Equipment?

Buyers beware, I just drove 1 1/4 hours to pick up a set of lights that were being sold on CANREEF. I told the seller I'd pay the full price if the lights work and was told they did but he'd check them in the evening. Two days (maybe three) I contacted the seller again, set up a time and was told "I'll check them this morning, give me 10 min notice before you get here". I contacted the seller that I was 15 min away, was told "I thought you'd give me notice so I can clean them up and check them, I'm not here, gone for food". We delayed the meet for a few min, I got there and asked if everything works, I was told "One of the White LEDs is out but it might just be a ground." I asked to see, turns out 5 White LED's were out on one light.

Buyers, make sure you check what you're buying top to bottom. I'm pretty sore about my wasted time.
