I think you missed her point here. She is displaying the comments

Is it ethical to tell the high bidders that the poster is a reproduction?
Is it ethical to tell the seller its a reproductiion?

That's a question for Randy Cohen, THE ETHICIST at the New York
Times.

Go ahead, Cory, write it up and send it in. Let's see if he answers.
It's a good question, actually.
I believe it's certainly ethical
I already contacted the seller to inform him (her) of the listing's error.
I received an email back saying simply thanks for the info. We'll see what
