Yup. 'Tis a practice sometimes referred to as keyword spamming. The 25th anniversary figures are what's "hot" right now, so putting "25th Anniversary" in your item's description causes it to show up in more people's search results. Of course, the seller may have done it on accident

I put "celebrate GI Joe's 25th anniversary" in my Joe auctions so they show up when someone searches.
It's a common practice like mister_e said, to use keywords to get more people to view items. Of course it's not cool to say something is from the 25th line that isn't.

Although keyword spamming pisses me off at times, I'm unfortunately guilty of it as well, as I also have "celebrate 25 years of G.I.Joe" in some of my listings. That is not the same as intentionally calling something 25th Anniversary when it's not. I'd send the seller a question asking if he's aware that the item he's selling is misrepresented. |
