That's easy. An item made its way to logistics, got mislabelled by someone who wasn't concentrating or who didn't know better, item landed in an auction. Apparently LMG needs a better system of internal communication or more micro managing from someone in marketing or communications for handling incoming and outcoming items.

An easy example would be if you forgot a personal book at the library, a librarian mistook it for donation, and then your book becomes catalogued. It doesn't have to be malicious.
