Hi Tom, AFAIK if you put any EOS body with a Manual mode in M exposure mode and set a shutter speed even, without a lens mounted the shutter should fire if the power is on and the battery is good. If there is no outward damage and the camera appears to work and you can return it within a reasonable time say 5 days or so this is a good price for a camera show.
