(I laughed too, but) What struck me most is the 'smugness' of both sides.
I just stole a Fuji GS645S from KEH...

And now KEH knows the identity of someone was hoping to laugh at their mistake/expense. Now that's some karma for you.
The question will be who is the last to laugh.
In Germany likely a laywer already would have sent KEH a bill with a complaint about their way of describing an item.
By the way:
KEH corrected meanwhile that product description!

Well, you were clever enough not to participate at this thread.
But us other dummies took it 122 posts and two weeks to start to understand what went on with that buy.
In case you missed the point:
What the OP ordered was not shown in photo but designated by KEH with the name of that camera. Nothing else.
Only the tiny link scheme at the top showed "accessories>lens hoods"

Well sure that was a website problem.
But 1) anything that looks too good to be true almost certainly is, and 2) even if it were a mistakenly listed camera on KEH's part...well we've already been over both sides of that.

As I said above the OP was daring to start this thread. And I do not know whether I actually would have bought that item.
BUT when I looked up that item and the camera name showed up, I used it even as proof in this thread to show that the OP was right.
And in those two weeks no one of us checked that receipt and found that lens cap.
Either no one checked that receipt to begin with or if done so found that "camera" page.

Even you??

Yes, but my girlfriend wants to keep me.
No, we have been together for 15 years. We do not know if it will last because we have never had a fight.
Sadly... most would do the former. Even I would be glad for the profit on eBay but I wouldn't gloat about it on the forums. HOWEVER... I have let MANY sellers off the hook if they made an error. Not because they'd bought something from an estate sale for pennies... but if they truly erred in their listing/price.
Then those people (paying $500 for something that should be $5000 without verifying that the listing is correct and the condition it's in) are greedy idiots and deserve what they get. You couldn't be "glad for the profit" if it turned out to be a lens and not the camera or whatever and actually worth only $500.
I think that was the point. If something looks too good to be true it most likely is and it's sensible to verify it's really what you think it is.
Well, with that as context... I can be a team player. You can have the last word. Go ahead. Ha ha ha.
I'm not offended. A very old friend was just calling me a grumpy old fart last night. I just said "that's MISTER Grumpy Old Fart to you!" 
Oh bloody hell... I came to this thread for a little entertainment only to find the bloody conversation has changed to 1960's sissy rock singers and grumpy old farts. DAMMIT!!
