Junk is right. This seller is at the top of the BS radar right now.Originally Posted by Randall Flagg
However, I do fault the buyers who support this person as well. A little research (not hard to do) and you can locate groups that would gladly help with opinions on signatures. Unfortunately, as long as buyers keep putting there money down, sellers like this will exist.

Probably been asked here before, but has anyone here messaged these sellers about their junk/fakes? Got a response?
They know they are selling fakes most of the time.

Multiple complaints to ebay will temporarily remove the item, but contacting the seller is kind of like telling a pimp his whore has crabs...he'll either ignore you or smack you.
Do you speak from experience?
He used to be a pimp (or was it a whore?)
I have smacked a few "Johns"...asshole (and I mean that in a warm and fuzzy way, I knew I set you up for a comment-who is the puppeteer now?). Pos rep to you, and no emoticons.Do you speak from experience?
You are right. It was too easy. I feel so used.
Yes! I try to do it in a professional way but 98% of the time the seller will respond with.....
(real responses by they way)
"you are a bottom feeder and only want me to drop my price so you can resell it for a profit"
"what a poor excuse of a person you are, trying to tell me my business. I know a legit Stephen King signature when I see one"
"go to hell"
"thank you for the kind words, however you are sadly mistaken. How long have you collected King books Mr. Mulleins"
"will remove the listing. I should have known when I picked it up at a yard sale for $1"
"hopefully you won't mind if I report YOU to Ebay for harassing me with non-sense information"
"This is embarrassing. Thank you mulleins for taking the time to show me why you think the signature is a fake. Removing the listing now" (seller never did)
"and you think you are educated enough to tell me the difference between a real King signature and a fake"
AND MY FAVORITE
"it's because people like you I have decided to stop selling my books on Ebay, I'm closing my Ebay store and moving it to Abebooks.com"
I collected the responses and have several others. However, I stopped contacting Ebay, sellers, buyers, etc. I've come to the conclusion........I can't fix stupid.
By the way.....one of those responses above is from a person that visits/posts on this site often. He's a REAL NICE person......NOT.

And I thought you said you weren't going to post my messages publicly?
Yikes! I kinda figured it wouldn't do any good but thanks for the responses. Maybe just one out of 1000 don't know they're selling crap?
NEEDFUL THINGS
I don't like it, but it could be real.....damn sharpie signatures.
If I saw the signature by itself, I would say NO for sure...but with the inscription...I am thinking hmmmmmmm?
The fact that a dealer is selling it makes me doubt it even more.

Ha, I just saw these, looked at the sig's and it reminded me of Calvin's Corner, so here I am. I *think* I asked this guy about the signatures I think it was a case of "I bought a collection off someone - I've not had any complaints"
www.hyraxia.com - Specialist sellers of Speculative Fiction Modern First Editions.
That is a tough one. the "8" looks wrong, but I don't have anything to compare it with.
Joe Hill makes it tough-for collector's; easier for frauds.
Our friend has an overpriced JH "Heart Shaped Box" which looks to be legit,
Joe Hill dated some of the books with a "." and some with a "-". I have examples of both.
A most interesting "g"
STEPHEN KING SIGNED 11/22/63 JFK Novel 1st FIRST RARE HC MINT UNREAD AUTOGRAPH
Glad to know about Brennan
I found this DT Edition like 15 minutes before it ended and I compared everything I could find in a short amount of time and it looked close but not quite right but the starting price was low enough, I thought what the Heck.... found this post and now realize I was almost the unlucky winner.
That 11/22/63 Looks fine to me, he did so many cramped and fast sigs in those books.
