A rather expensive oversided card. Can't people read?

No room in the house exceeds a length of twenty-five feet, let alone fifty feet, let alone fifty-six and a half feet, and yet Chad and Daisy's voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer. In the living room, Navidson discovers the echoes emanating from a dark, doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere in the west wall.

Is such misdirection legal? Someone should contact the poor souls involved in the bidding...

Of course they can read. They can read the title, which proudly proclaims this card as "ALPHA" and convienently not mentioning that it's an oversized card. This is the seller's fault as much as the bidder's.

while i think its lame to use the world alpha in the title just to draw hits, he does clearly state in the description that it is a non legal, oversize card. the bidder loses.

And not only that, but he says that two times in the description.

I've seen so many of these. Common tactics include selling "BETA ce POWER 9" or oversized cards like this one. It just takes two fools to drive up the price (or one fool and one violator of e-bay rules).
