But to take the eraser end of the pencil to one that previously marks on it and list it on eBay without mention is punishable by law?
Well now you are into a gray area whether that would be a material alteration that needs to be disclosed. We could argue about whether it is or isn't. But for a clear-cut case like trimming, yeah. There is also a California statute specifically on point that I recall but cannot immediately locate it.
