How's this for a deluded seller

I bought a really nice Topcon RE-2 a couple of years back for 10% of this price! TOKYO Kogaku TOPCOR RE Auto 1:1.8 f=5.8cm Lens In Hanimex Topcon RE-2 Body | eBay
But try reconciling the numerous dings with the description "very light wear to the body"

Light Wear, Where?

Wow! That body looks like it was packed in a box of rocks and shipped around the world. Oddly, the section with the least marks and dings is the bottom plate! Very strange description, but at least the seller was good enough to provide clear photos, so no suprises there.
Buyer beware!

"It has some very light wear to the body of the camera but nothing major. "

I guess deformed and creased metal is only minor wear.

Occasionally used half case?

This seller has continually relisted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOKYO-Kogaku-TOPCOR-RE-Auto-1-1-8-f-5-8cm-Lens-In-...90669932764%26 each time as a buy-it-now and each time dropping the price - when I first saw it it was about £700, the latest listing is about £200 - still over priced in my opinion. I assume this seller is charged a listing fee each time they relist?
