Somewhat off-topic, but when I click on "Case-Mate - Case for 2009 LG Xenon - Marsala"[1], the "About this item" section simply states:

About this item

- Do

- Not

- Buy

- This

- Product

What on earth is going on here?

It might be a placeholder product to hold the ASIN.

Some (many?) vendors on Amazon will recycle pages this way. Sell some item, change the item and description to dummy values when it stops selling, change to another item that will be sold, repeat.

This is usually done to keep the reviews, though I've also heard about this being used for money laundering.

It's amazing that this has been going on for decades and Amazon still doesn't give a shit.

It’s an 18 pound phone case for less than a dollar. How bad could it be?

You can pre-order it...

I actually used to have(maybe still have?) a LG Xenon

Jeff Bezos has more money than the Federal Trade Commission. That's how we pick the winner in any conflict.
