Sometimes when you are writing descriptions bleary-eyed at 3 in the morning things don't come out as effectively as they should."
Riigghhhttt...Do you really expect us to believe that a very creative euphamism was easier to come by "bleary-eyed at 3 in the morning" than the much simpler and more accurate word "reprint"? And if you are writing descriptions at 3 am and are so out of it that the obvious evades you, do you think that you are doing a service for your customers and consignors by not proofing the work later? What are we to conclude from this: if we disbelieve your explanation we have to conclude that you tried to sell a fake item described with weasel-words that were calculated to mislead a novice while still protecting you from being accused of selling a fake, but if we accept your explanation we can conclude that you are so irresponsible as to be writing bad descriptions at times you are not capable of working and not proofing them later. Either way, doesn't inspire confidence...
