Wow, the seller must have never heard of a slick.
Some sellers have very little knowledge of what they are selling. Others do the shotgun description to show up in more searches. This is also why some sellers would include the words, "not Buck, Stanley" to get items to show up in unrelated searches.
It used to be wise to search misspellings of words such as Stanley, Starrett, Sargent and others. That may have been fixed in ebay's search function. There were also sellers that intentionally listed items as being Stanely just to get a quick bite from inexperienced bidders who just recently learned about searching for misspellings.
A lot of my better deals were of items with incorrect listings. Not of the wider net kind but of misspellings or misidentifications. Ebay used to be a much wilder place than it is today.
