Default Oxygen sensor on eBay

This particular oxygen monitor is shipped from the manufacturer in two pieces - the sensor head, and the sensor itself. The instructions say not to assemble the two until installation is complete. I don't know why - perhaps the sensor has a limited lifetime. Since the eBay seller describes his units as NEW, but NOT IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE, I emailed to ask him if he was shipping two pieces or just one. He told me on Tuesday that he was out of town until Thursday, and would check then and get back to me. It is now Sunday, and I have not received a reply from him. This being the case, I have to assume that his units are NOT new, but were removed from service, and have already been assembled. Once again, I don't know how much this matters, but it raises a big BEWARE flag in front of me. I was willing to buy one just to check it out ... but perhaps not, now that I see how the seller operates. I also note that his original auction has expired, and has now been re-listed.
