Thanks for standing on the soap box, lumiworx! This is valuable advice.

I see multiple sellers almost every time I get on eBay anymore. I gave up long ago on reporting them because eBay doesn't do a thing about it. I just watch out for sales numbers and ratings, and if either is low, they don't get my interest. Besides, I never saw any good reviews on those "Curl Zeiss" lenses. Pure junk from what I understand. ;-)

Well sometimes you can get really good deals from mislabeled items.
A while ago, I bought a very nice Yashica Samurai Z for about $25 -- simply because the seller on EBAY listed it as a "YASHIKA" (or something like that). So people searching for "YASHICA" would not see it. I was the only bidder and it's in perfect shape.
I'm still trying to figure out how I ran across it, because I wasn't searching for "YASHIKA".
So searching for "CURL ZEISS" or "CARL ZIESS" might pay off sometimes.

Still, they won't pick up on a completely wrong description that can save someone a couple hundred dollars if they are quick to see it.
