scurrilous eBay auction

Do you agree that this is a misleading, to say the least, eBay auction? Or is it me?
To me it is also filled with hyperbole, like a windy meaningless rant. It is even confusing as to how many catalogs you are getting. (I never bid on it, by the way.)

My main question is this: wouldn't anyone assume that the auction was for 5 bound original, paper books or pamphlets? The auction is listed in this category:
Listed in category: Books > Nonfiction Books

In truth, they are just downloadable virtual (digital) copies of the catalogs, as is implied in the last words of the long description:

This is an electronic Download that will be emailed to you on payment. Includes: HC EVANS CATALOG X 2, GEORGE & COMPANY CATALOG, Evans Park & Carnival, KC CARD Company, Mill Amusement, and Mills Carnival.

Turns out, I emailed the seller, and he said it was not paper booklets at auction.
