In short, the cosmetic condition is pretty darn rough. A child can see it.
Why do people do this?
This is NOT a case of a seller misrepresenting condition. When you read the whole ad, you can see the joking “67 years of personality” that follows. Mandomutt is a straight shooter with colorful descriptions and good photographic depictions of good and bad aspects of instruments.
