question about yahoo auctions

Hi i was wondering if it ok completly legal to sell wholesale lists on yahoo auctions? i put in my auction this...By purchasing this autcion yoy will recieve a list of wholesalers not the actual prodict in the picture, you acknowledge that you have read the entire description, agree to the terms herein and hold harmless myself the sellerof this auction in any way shape or form. no refunds, this is agreat way to save money even by spending money here you will still save hundreds once you buy from the list. you must read the whole descrpiton before bidding so you cant be mad when you get what you bidded on which was a list not the laptop. i was wondering if this is ok if people bid they cant be mad or hold me in any legal obligations right? because its more than a paragraph of what they will be getting. thanks and please let me know.

I would have to review your offer to potential buyers in view of the Yahoo TOU.

I could not comment without seeing the entire advertisement. Generally speaking, however, it is illegal to sell anything by deception and you can be held liable for it, both criminally and civilly. Deceptive practices violate both state and federal law, and illegal internet activity can be prosecuted anywhere in the country or even anywhere in the world. It is pretty safe to assume that attempting to sell anything with minimal or illusory value is illegal. Selling personal contact information of others without their expressed consent can also be illegal.
