The auction is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.

I love that you stay on message...however, re-read "small moments" as it relates to the larger picture issues that you raise... #PreachingToTheChoir

Not quite. It's listed as the EU set in the title, not the 'box' of the EU set. The added detail you mention is indeed in the description section, but that functions more as a disclaimer with an eye toward eBay mediation should the sale go awry (IMO). If that weren't the intention, then I guess the fact that the auction's initial bid is exactly the same price as the going rate for the EU exclusive (coupled with the title) is just a 'co-ink-e-dink'...which it isn't. Maybe I'm more cynical than you are, but this scenario smacks of a deliberate attempt to hoodwink uninformed or novice collectors who often don't read descriptions.

Maybe, you're the seller?
