In most states there are laws about "implied warranty" - meaning that 
something being sold is assumed to be usable for the purpose that it 
is usually intended, unless otherwise specified. As - for example - 
when something is explicitly being sold for scrap. "As is" sale may 
protect the seller against claims about all kinds of 
imperfections  found later, but it may not protect the seller against 
a claim of the item being totally unusable. The catch is that you 
have to go to court (small claims, in this case) and convince a judge 
that the thing is totally unusable. If your state does recognize the 
doctrine of "implied warranty",  that is. Otherwise it's "caveat emptor"...
