So I've been watching eBay listings for several months now with my new Curta obsession. I just accidentally noticed a subtle detail between opening an eBay tab on a computer and looking at the same item on a mobile device. This listing looks like an amazing condition Curta.....based on the pictures and reading the description on a mobile phone.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/225573346372?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=cd6718241ddf4904af09406eca6dcaa3&bu=43184557503&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20230512052036&segname=11021

But if you open the listing on a computer - at the top of the listing the Condition is listed as “Used - some wear, will not crank smoothly counter clockwise.” This small line is somehow missing on the eBay app used on my phone.

I don't think the seller is trying to deceive people.....but who knows. I would be hesitant to buy one that possibly has been forced backwards (unless it stays really cheap and maybe I could learn something by trying to fix it)
