For example using "Shag" while selling a Tiki item that is not of a Shag design. Another good example would be Eames, which seems to be attached to lot's of mid-century items. One seller even goes as far as making every crappy vintage clothing item he lists "-like"...."gabardine-like","atomic-like", etc.. It smacks of false advertising and trickery. Plus, it really gets to be a chore when using these terms to search for items and you get back a load of unrelated crap!!! Matt
