Mislabeled items are great fun. If I already own a better example of the mislabeled item, then sometimes I'll send a message to the seller with the correct information. Most sellers are grateful for this. One seller the other day immediately took down the listing and apologized profusely. Some sellers are surprisingly, strident in their objections ("I've been selling these for twenty years!"). In those cases, the information is truly deceptive and (on EB) I file a complaint. On the other hand, I'm not incapable of taking advantage if I see a great deal that is mislabeled. I will bid and hope other collectors (like YOU) will not stumble across it too! Later, win or lose, I provide the correct information to the seller.
