Lying to the buyer is always good business. Who do you think you're fooling?
I'm not saying it's good practice, just that I know plenty of people do it. You really aren't fooling anyone but it's common practice anyway. I would never do that personally, but I prefer to sell stuff in person, I like to avoid shipping when possible.
