Cherry MX blacks? Watch out for that flying pig overhead!
Some sellers just don't understand that when they list irresponsibly using whatever keywords they think are more attractive, they are severely misdescribing their stuff and asking for some big trouble from irate buyers.

Ebay perusing, every time a Geekhacker types in "Cherry" within their search engine, this dodgy-arse seller's page will front up and only the newbest out there shall fall for it, by handing over their money.

I've reported that seller multiple times for listing practices. They will disappear for a day or two and pop back up again...
