Would you consider this auction misleading?

Auction

I was going to bid on it, but I just saw this in the description:

"CONDITION: unslabbed; inner seal has tape around it."

The auction title makes it appear as a slabbed CGC book. Also, the picture does not clearly show that it is unslabbed.

Further, the note about it being unslabbed is in a font that is smaller than the rest of the text.

I know that everyone should read the auction description carefully, but this auction seems a bit questionable to me.

The winner paid $20.50 for, essentially, a raw book. If the book were a slabbed 9.8, GPA says it is going for about $30.

I'll bet the winner did not realize that the book had been cracked out of the slab. I think I'll watch the seller's feedback ratings over the next few weeks to see what happens.

Here's another one...

Amazing Spider-Man 50 CGC 5.5 FN- Great eye appeal Looks much better!!

eBay seller: bucketplayer

One corner of the case has been glued together poorly and the opposite corner appears to have a stress crack. None of this is disclosed in the listing.

This could be innocent or some nefarious deception. Who knows. But I sure wouldn't bid on something like this.
