Am I the only dork?

Who corrects sellers on that major auction site for false (whether intentional or not) descriptions of "vintage" disney items?

I have had fun with a few recent 'corrections.' Trust me, I am always polite and the sellers are nice about it too.

-"Mickey Mouse club" lunch pail from the early 50's" ----yet is clearly shows Mouseketeers in color from the 70's version.

-"Vintage 1960's Disney World ears"--- umm WDW wasn't open yet!!

Things like that. I also chuckle when I see the word "vintage" used with items from Animal Kingdom and other recent park things. Too funny.

Oh well, thanks for letting me rage over this HUGE problem!! eheh

I just had to tell you that your thread title gave me a chuckle!

Was anyone at WDW last year around October through Christmas, when they were selling the two different watches with a certain purchase amount?... One was a red-banded Tinkerbell Christmas watch, and the other a black-banded Santa Mickey watch, where he is hanging a star on the "12". (I have the Mickey one... not a fan of red bands, and I love my mouse )

Someone had that Tinkerbell watch on Ebay, listed as cast-only. I corrected them, and they got defensive, saying that their friend, a cast member, bought it and assured her it was cast-only. I tried to explain that I have one from the series, and that they were being sold all over WDW before Christmas... but to no avail

How rude for them to get so defensive. You were only trying to help them not do false advertising! I helped a seller last night with another set of ears from WDW in the 60's. hehe. She was very nice and happy to be able to correct her listing for accuracy sake.

Oh well!
