You could make a little on the other junk, but what a pain to sort through it all.
Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw it too. What a sneaky little trick! Not really dishonest, just tricky.
It's tempting to send him a message like "Say, I noticed you made a typo in your auction -- you put the BIN at $300 instead of $600 like you meant to! Just wanted to make sure you got want you wanted for the lot before somebody snapped it up at the wrong price!" And see which one he changes.
