There's a very simple distinction here, at least in my own mind.
This seller didn't fail to provide information because he/she neglected
to do research. The seller made an active claim without verifying the
facts, and it just happened to be patently ridiculous. The first is
entirely reasonable, but to me the second is a violation of ethics.

To me it's not about being geeky, it's
about maintaining a few
rudimentary standards and doing some *very basic* research before
selling something. Doesn't seem like too much to ask or expect of a
seller, and is irrespective of whatever it is that's being sold.
Even if the seller is not a collector and knows nothing about what he's
selling?
