Welcome to the hobby!
I have had similar experiences when I first started this hobby almost 2 years ago. My advice would be contact the seller and try to either return the game, get a partial refund, or ask the seller to help pay for some of the repair parts. There are many dishonest people out there, but there are many more honest people in this hobby. Don't let one bad purchase ruin the experience. It's best to look at a game in person. Pictures are great, but it's kind of like buying a used car over the internet. I prefer to look at a used car in person and inspect everything up close.
