No, not especially.

Which can easily be interpreted two different ways. While I do agree that
anyone who bid on them can't really complain too loudly about it, it is
(unintentionally, almost certainly) a bit misleading.

This is by far the more important fact. I doubt you would begrudge anyone who
made an honest mistake the ability to correct it, right?

To be honest? I would assume it was the full sets. But seeing a lot of 6 of
them, and seeing the price so low, I would seek clarification.

This is a much different case, if you ask me. Ammo boxes are commonly sold as
an item. The box the ammo box comes in is not. Neither are the boxes that
LEGO elements come packed in, usually.
Of course, I have seen the boxes from classic Star Wars toys (ie, from the
70's) sell for big bucks... but then again, those are a little more out of
circulation.
Follow-ups set to lugnet.market.theory.
