When I clicked on the link, it said that eBay has removed the item.

What was it that you saw? (Presumably, you're not asking how they could have removed it, but rather you're wondering about whatever was removed.)

A Hackmaster Player Handbook that looks like a bastardized version of the 1st ed. PH!
WTF?

You mean this one (http://www.kenzerco.com/images/rpg/hackmaster/hm_playershandbook.jpg)?

If you haven't noticed Kenzer & Company are doing similar things to all their Hackmaster products.

IIRC they acquired the license to publish and spoof AD&D stuff from WotC.

Mind you, this is a big IF...

Don't know much about Hackmaster do you? :)
Most of the HM covers are parodies of OOP material, the same goes for the content. Ofcourse, it is more or less 100% compatible to AD&D1e, so if youre using that game you might wanna check out the HM stuff, easy to use and fun to read! :)

Hackmaster is both a refined AD&D, and also a joke product, all at once.

Refined?

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything "refined" about HM, and save from a handful of rules that may serve as inspiration to create -other- house rules for AD&D, I can find nothing salvageable from that diatrabe.

If you ask me, they should have called Hackmaster "Dungeons & Toons".

All the covers, and much of the interior art, for Hackmaster products is parody of the art for AD&D1e.
