Sorry, just joking.
I saw that the auction was ended because of an error in the description?
Maybe the seller noticed that it was not an original grabber..

I never understood why the G-3 continues to be referred to as a Grabber (even today, Gibson call the reissue such) when there's nothing to grab

I like simply referring to my new one as a G-3. Quick and to the point.

Wordplay between Grabber and Ripper - an after-market bass combining characteristics of both types. If you want to add a G-3 to the equaction then that makes is a Gripp3r!
