I don't feel that it is wrong because they put alum. Christmas tree in the title even though they aren't selling one. I did the same thing a few weeks ago. It is a way of describing what type ornaments they are. Another example - I was selling only the bowl of a bowl and pitcher set and said so in the title. If I hadn't how else would you have know what type bowl it was? I thought at the time some of you might object but felt it was a legitimate way to list that item. Collectables are a little hard to describe sometimes, especially if they are just one part of a set.

I think in this case, it is actually helpful, not misleading. If you do a search of "Ornaments" there are soooo many listings, I could see how a buyer would not want to scourer every single one of those listings if they were looking for something more specific. By the seller mentioning "Aluminum tree" it narrows the search and gives an idea of the age and style of the ornaments.

sirzab look again it is not in their description but in their heading. Description I wouldn't mind but when I search for aluminum trees I do not want plastic ornaments. I honestly don't think plastic ornaments were made for aluminum trees. They were made because they were cheap (plastic ornaments not trees). There is a colorwheel that usually is with them to give the beautiful glass ornaments and glass beads that adorn them shows up.
