"Caveat Emptor" is in no way a rationalization for misrepresentation leading to committing a fraud. It is the seller's responsibility to accurately identify and describe an item. If the seller fails in this, it is the seller's responsibility to correct the situation, including recompensation of all buyer's expenses related to the transaction.

Any seller who does not do this is not merely unethical, but dishonest.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
