I don't know what really wrong with the bullmoose listing. Maybe a word in the title that you aren't happy with (Rivendell) but I would say that its fair to use it because if you want the current version / price of the bars, that's where you are going to get them.
I think the description is pretty much spot on: "The rare Nitto Bullmoose handlebar. Reproduced now by Rivendell. These bars are in near new condition. CrMo construction with a 22.2mm (1") stem diameter. Includes cable tensioner. Bars are original (uncut)." They are listed at a $150 buy it now price which might be a tad high, but that's what eBay is about. I would have figured closer to a $100. That's why the seller has a "make offer" option listed. I think that sometimes we forget that people don't list things on eBay so that the masses can experience the joys of cycling. They list on eBay to make money. Period.
