Most sellers don't know any better, and that's normal. You can't expect everyone to know what a set needs. Most of them assume cleaning will help, and with some problems, cleaning actually helps... especially if the insides is really dirty.
I had a set that would hardly make a picture when I first got it home. The chassis was pretty damn dirty, and cleaning off all the dust actually put a picture on the screen. It still needed other work, but cleaning it made a difference at first.
You're right, it probably needs a tube or cap somewhere, but at least it puts light on the screen. That's much better than a dead set.
