OK, thanks for putting me back in order brother Mike.
I have written back and apologized to this ebay seller.

My reaction was a result of the impression I got that
this person just wanted to get as much money as they
could from the auction without caring to educate 
themeselves or inform potential buyers of that they
offer for sale.  How did I get this impression?

They listed 24 cards and descriptions boasting that
they are not curled.  In this case there are two
possibilities: Either these views are older in flat
mounts, or they are later lithographs.  That's why
I asked if they were "colored".  It turns out that
they are lithographs, a fact that was hidden from the
description.  There are no pictures or anything else.

This fact would make the biggest difference on the price
that this lot brings.  Maybe the seller has no idea
what he has for sale.  But the fact that he made a point
of these not being curled, presending it as an advantage,
and the fact that he did not mention that they are colored,
made me think that he has seen other stereo views and he
understands the difference between a true photogrpahic
print and a lithographic reproduction and has chosen
to conceal the fact that his views are lithographs.

In any case, I might be wrong about this situation and
my reaction was rather hasty... so, my deepest apologies.
