It's not only sellers involved here, but people are not shy to ask up front if tags are for sale. This ebay seller has a bunch of parts for a rare car for sale and, if you look at some of the comments in the listing, people are asking directly if the tags are for sale.

There was a BB Pacer at a Federal Government sponsored auction in Carson (CA) a couple years ago. My partner and I went to the preview showing to the look at the car, as it had been one of the draw cars with pictures advertising the auction in the LA Times. When my partner, who restores 69 Camaros, pointed out to the Government reps administering the event that the trim tag was a stone fake, they exibited very little concern, and sold the car to the highest bidder, a reseller in Oregon for over 30K. He, in turn, sold the car off his lot.
It is my opinion that, unless someone makes a huge legal stink, even the feds don't really care. I'm sure there are board members who remember the car, and its obvious shortcomings...
