No need to apologize. I needed a good laugh to start my day.
What would really be funny if someone actually buys this piece of crap.

The nerve of some people! A simple Google search could disprove 90% of the fallacies that the seller used as a description
I LOVE that "It is all the original wood and pieces that it came with when it was manufactured."

It's a true statement, although misleading - whenever someone "manufactured" this, they used those wood pieces and parts...

I don't know whether it would be any use to break the news to this seller....
