For clarification purposes, let me re-iterate that you are talking about a DUMMY phone. It's just like a mannequin in the dept. store (often referred to as "dummies")... they might look like real people but they don't talk, read or write (or move)... they only look like we do (but they don't have brains) and you can put people clothes on them, but the clothing is not going to make them magically come to life.
If you take a piece of cardboard, and draw the sidekick's buttons onto it, that's about all you are going to get from this auction. The lit up display that you see in the picture is probably a piece of paper behind the clear plastic screen, that is printed with what a sidekick's standby screen looks like. The "small parts" the seller is referring to are probably things on the outside like battery cover, buttons, and keypad... the inside of this dummy phone is probably empty (no circuitry=no worky). I'd probably bet your questions to the seller weren't specific enough and people on ebay just to get rid of their old junk for some money, not to volunteer information that wasn't asked in the first place which might lose them a sale.
When buying things on ebay, you sometimes have to ask VERY specific questions like "does this phone turn on" and "does it have the internal working parts of a real sidekick", these are things you should ask the SELLER not us because last time I checked, Madame Blavatsky is not a member of our site so nobody here can tell you what only the seller knows.
Lastly, if you are the one who bid on this dummy phone today, and you find it to a "dummy phone" when you get it, please do not resell it on ebay to the next poor schmuck without telling them it's a "dummy" phone.
