As there was no hoax, there is no hoax dust. If there is such a sale on Ebay then it is a fraud and should be reported as such.

Does this have anything to do with recently publicized need for simulated regolith, or the now scarce simulated regolith that was used for training in the 60's ?

Imagine if you'd bought 1kg of that stuff, only to discover it was genuine moon dust that NASA had chucked out for some reason. How ripped off would you feel then?
