You don't even need an iLok to test just an iLok.com account, register/activate it and just get the license deposited in that account. I'll betcha that won't work... go ask for your money back and/or report the seller to EBay.

being told at guitar center they have a ilok i can purchase 50$ that has the licenses and registration info for protools 9 that i can use for the system I'm building.

That is likely not true/I would be very surprised, an iLok 2 costs about $50 with no licenses on it. They most likely are selling you a blank iLok 2 and you need to install a license on it. Which you likely cannot do since the Pro Tools 9 you purchased was already activated to a different iLok. The person you are dealing with may be totally clueless and/or you both may be misunderstanding what the other is saying/asking. You are going to entirely the wrong place for useful help. If you want sales folks that have a clue try Sweetwater.
