Ebay auction- seller got it all wrong?!

I just stumbled over this auction on ebay. Think this is a very special one and the seller got almost everything wrong. The plaque on that semi professional display case reads "Western Electric 202 1929-1932" and the auction title: Western Electric 202 Desk Set 634A subset ringer.
well...

you better would call it a (not very good condition) D1 Handset, 202 indicates that it is wired anti sidetone, could be A1, B1 or D1. The dial is AE not WE, the subset is a much later 685A not 634A, I don't know how the seller came up with a production time of only three years.

And the best thing, for only $ 535 it could be yours. Makes me speechless.

I wonder if anyone has ever nicely mentioned anything to the seller, and what the reply was.
I'm guessing the seller bought it as is and never researched it. Or took it out of the case.
