The seller appears to have done something reasonably responsible. The ad is
now updated with the following disclaimer:

"THIS ITEM WAS BOUGHT IN MY STORE. I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT. PEOPLE HAVE
EMAIL ME THAT THIS IS A HECKEL SYSTEM MADE BY SCHREIBER. ITS SAYS ON IT
MODEL HECKEL. IT IS NOT HECKEL MAKE. BID ON IT ACCORDINGLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING."
