You are probably right. I meant to comment in my reply seeing the new price info., but got off-track; charging only $13 indeed tends to confirm that the seller either:

1. Had no clue what they were if he created it by swapping parts, or
2. Acquired it as-is, and then just sold it, assuming it was a 12C as the badge would indicate.

Otherwise, if the $13 was for the better, 11C model, he would have had to pay a buyer to take a 12C, lol.
