"Setbreak" as keyword spam

I *think* the reason might be a case of uninformed sellers. Imagine this:

A new eBay seller looks up comps on a card they're going to sell. For the sake of discussion, let's say they see 5-10 copies have sold in the last 30 (or 60, or 90) days. One of those copies sold for more money than any other, and it just happened to have "set break" in the title.

They list their card for a high BIN price - with "set break" in the title - and it sells. Now, the seller thinks they've stumbled across some nugget of wisdom. They share the "secret" with their circle of friends and it spreads like herpes.

At this point, the whole thing is becoming a self-inflicted misinformation campaign.
