If you put in a keyword incorrectly for the aide, she says that the item is in poor condition vice a message saying that she doesn't have it...which can be a bit confusing.

Yeah, this is not a bug per sé. It's just that mobol can't account for all variations.

E.g. it checks the -keyword- and then the mob goes "yep, it's pristine". If it's anything other than pristine, or it isn't shown the item, it will default to "nope, not pristine".

It's mobol, not code, so essentially stupid. Something you'll just have to deal with because there is no alternative.

The main issue here is you were saying tassled not tasseled

you can use any keyword that applies the item given to the aide to start the process.

You only need those specific key words for purchasing items from the broker!

Yeah, but it has to be a correctly typed keyword. So spear works, but spaer doesn't, just like tasseled works, but tassled doesn't.
