'Ambiguous' ebay listing: Centurion Cinelli Equipe

Be warned: last weekend I sold my 62cm Centurion Cinelli Equipe frameset at the Trexlertown swap meet. It was, without a doubt, a Centurion contracted Cinelli when it left my hands.

By some strange alchemy, it has somehow morphed into a Cinelli frame that may have been repainted and badged as a Centurion. Because that's exactly what any proud Cinelli owner would do.

Also, though the seller provides an obliquely angled photo of the rear right dropout, it doesn't clearly show the evidence of a repair. The dropout had been crushed at some point, and a torch had been used to reset it. I informed the seller of this, but apparently such information doesn't fit his marketing scheme.

Oh, and the tubing is Columbus SL/SP, not SLX. And all of the chrome has light rust pitting.

EDIT: FWIW, I have contacted the seller with this information.
