This information I learned from an old viner. I cannot as of yet verify how accurate it is.
It appears that in some cases Amazon sellers will put offers on vine that are also visible to the public. What they will do is put a low ETV value, but make the listing unappealing to the average shopper. Viners in the know can often get "good stuff" because of this. Some sellers know that viners often skip products because of high ETV values.
What are strange listing? They are listings with strange pictures, and/or contradictory information.
A bad drawing of a clothing item. with a detailed description, and sometimes the actual picture of the item below the description where you have to look for it.
The same for certain electronic devices. A picture that seems to be unrelated to the listing, yet the description shows what the item would be.
A picture of a beat up old office chair, with detailed description below of a brand new office chair.
Sometimes no picture, or a blurred out picture.
In all three reported cases above, a viner ordered the item just to see what they got, and were quite happy with their order. In the case of the chair they got a brand new chair.
I must admit that I was not aware of this, and did not order certain thing because I don't like to order things that are not 100% clear as to what you are getting.
Most of the things that I have seen like this are things I would not have ordered anyways.
