I concede to you sir that you indeed know how the "game" is played. I see no need for vulgarity

If you feel that this is an "error" rather than a

an undesirable item due to poor condition.
Let us let the auction be the final word. If your assumption is correct it should fetch far more than the double face value of your starting price.
