Default Is my injector broken??

Please help, I had some friends on here advise me that 1 of the 4 injectors I just bought from (JSPRELUDE) here on h-t is broken. Only 3 of the 4 injectors have the pintle NEEDLE (not talking about the caps) and 1 injector does not. It looks to have been broken off. However, before I purchased the injectors, I asked the seller for pics, but he didnt have pics so I asked if there was anything wrong and he said no, so I sent him money for it. Now I get the injectors and the pintle caps were broken but I don't mind those as long as it wasn't broken. But come to realize 1 injector seems broken (NO NEEDLE TO SPRAY). Now I ask the seller if he can fix this for me or work out something and he says, no, he bought them, never used them so they sat for 5 months. I understand, USED is fine with me but NOT broken. Come on you can clearly tell by looking at the injectors that 1 is different from the other 3 and that's NOT what I paid for. Here's pic, kinda bad pic but this is as close as my camera can get. The first injector (to your left) is the one without the Pintle Needle. You can see the top tips of the other 3 injectors have that pointy tip (needle).
The side of the injectors read ... 195500-1650 is this the part number?

(12:11 AM 5/14/2005) alfee: hey, only 3 of the 4 injectors have pintles (needles) 1 of them looks like it has been broken. I noticed the pintle caps were broken so i took those off, i dont mind about those but since 1 injector doesnt have a pintle needle, I can't use it. How can we fix this problem?
(4:27 AM 5/15/2005) jsprelude: like i said man i never them i bought them my engine builder said they were to small for my setup and they just sat in my garage for 5 months!
(4:28 AM 5/15/2005) jsprelude: used*


(5:30 AM 5/15/2005) alfee: hrmm. but i asked you before i bought them if anything was wrong and you said no. Used is fine, but you didn't say 1 was broken. Now i pretty much have to buy 1 injector.
(3:35 AM 5/16/2005) jsprelude: dude whatever i have never used them how would i know
plus u paid 100 bucks for 4 injectors i gave them away
(6:28 AM 5/16/2005) alfee: if 3 look the same and 1 doesn't then I'm sure you're smart enough to notice somethings not right. and about the $100 bucks, thats what you posted how much you wanted them for. thanks a lot!
(4:57 PM 5/20/2005) jsprelude: Dude **** you. I told you i knew nothing about the ******* injectors other than the size of them. 100 for the 3 of them is a fair price. Stop being a little bitch! Get the one fixed and use them! If you would have been cool about it i would have sent u like 25 bucks back to cover the one fucked up injector but then you go making posts saying I ripped u off this and that! Your a bitch and u need to shut the **** up!!
(4:58 PM 5/20/2005) jsprelude: You bought a ******* used part!! They are not brand new what the **** do u exspect!
(7:21 PM 5/20/2005) alfee: i don't expect to recieve broken parts that are unusable. I asked you nicely, lets work something out and you didn't want to, so now that it came to this you're gonna get all mad? you did this to yourself, should've been an HONEST seller.

thats the best pic i shot actually, maybe its my camera but as you can see, only the first injector does not have the needle on top which is seen by the red glare point on the tip of the injector.

JSPRELUDE = scammer

A good seller would be willing to work something out here instead of getting on the defensive from the get go.
