I'll be generous and ascribe this to incompetence rather than malice. The guy has a ton of stuff and I'm sure he thinks it's all genuine. A random flip through suggests a small amount is. Maybe he's one of those collectors who can't come to grips with the fact that he bought a lot of dross, or perhaps he's unaware of the pervasiveness of fakes and restrikes.
There's also a healthy dollop of laziness. Everything is titled as a cap badge, even when he also correctly identifies it as a shoulder tile, formation sign ,etc.
His prices are, um, optimistic.
