That is because the vic-ii and sid are sold as working.

There are far too many c64 sold without power supplies & a statement to 
say that it used to work but they can't find the power adapter.

I may be too cynical, but if it hasn't been tested then I assume it 
doesn't work & if the seller says it's an easy fix then I assume it isn't.

Buy c64 cheap offline when you see them, swap over all the broken parts, 
sell the broken ones on ebay as untested for more than you paid for 
them. Profit.
