Counting on a community downport with no source available and a significant spec gap is usually just wishful thinking. Emulation on a more powerful device in the future is a more likely scenario.

As far as buying faulty consoles is concerned, I normally avoid listing with ports that require changing - that's a lot of solder pads and you don't know whether it's a failed port or if the pads are ripped from the PCB due to a failed repair attempt. My policy is this - if the repair was cheap and easy, it wouldn't be listed as faulty - the seller would have it fixed themselves to get more money for the unit (unless they truly don't care).

The port is not just for charging, it's a data connection as well, so I'd skip it unless you yourself know what you're doing and are confident in making the repair in question. Buying a faulty is gambling - you go into it expecting that the chance of making a loss is high.
