Did he get the missing equipment, or compensation?
At least with a *real* (licensed) broker you have
recourse, as opposed to someone who just decides one day to
call himself a broker.

Last year one of my friend purchased a sailboat through a
broker.
He was given a list of the equipment included in the
purchase price of the
sailboat. A contract was drafted with the equipment list.
When he took possession of the sailboat some equipment was
missing.
He went to the broker and informed him of the missing
items from the
contractual equipment listing.
At first the broker denied the existence of the list and
informed him that
it was the buyer's responsibility to ascertain that all
the promised
equipment was delivered with the sailboat.

Especially one who calls himself "Captain" when he
isn't one, and who
says he does "surveys" that he's not qualified to
perform.
