When the item is deliberately misrepresented, I call that fraud. I would expect an auctioneer not to be a party to fraudulent deals. I've seen a few that were and a few that were not crooked. One had me bidding against the wall on an item I wanted. I got wise to him and backed out of it. The wall won that one. I do get a laugh at some of the little comments that get thrown into their babble. When selling cars, I usually hear "high rubber" or "top of the line" or similar comments that tend to be misleading.
I used to go to a bid board auction where there were a lot of collector coins. Many were misrepresented. I complained to the management several times over outright fraudulent claims of condition or grading. They finally added a disclaimer. They did get really angry with me when I pointed out fraud, but I just said "too bad" because I do not support fraud.
I do understand why an honest auctioneer would resent the posts about crooked auctioneers. Most do not deserve the bad name that they get from a few shysters.
