    Wow, it went for $204.50. Poor buyer. Hope I don't know him/her.

    This seller continues to list forgeries due I'm sure to the success they've had thus far. Where is SKfakes when you need it the most?

    Default Here is a way to help get rid of fakes on Ebay!!!!

    It may not do much good for one person to report an item for forgery. However, it may do good if several folks complained about an item. A support representative from eBay said that they do track complaints not only by item number but by seller ID. Thus, if enough complaints were filed for a seller who is habitually listing forgeries are received, eBay may act.
    Here are the steps you'll need to report forgery:

    1) copy the item number or numbers

    2) click " Help " at the upper right of the eBay page

    3) click " Contact Us " on the left

    4) click on " Start here " in the Online and Answers and Email section

    5) select Listing Violations and click on Continue

    6) For Step 1 select Counterfeits and copyright violations ; for Step 2 select Other potential infringement; for Step 3 select Unauthorized use of celebrity faces, names or signatures and click Continue

    7) click Email Us

    8) enter the item number(s) and click send
    Just think what we can all do!!

    Not only is the signature fake, the listing is misleading, pointing out it is a (comparably) worthless BOMC, and later in the listing saying "However the simple fact that it is 1st edition Signed Stephen King work in excellent condition, makes it a very collectable item indeed"

    Default E-Bay "BS" game. Questionable items, signatures, sellers.

    I wanted to have a stand alone thread devoted to posting listings where a signature, seller, and or simply the item itself is questionable/dubious.
    I'd rather the "Quirky" thread be more of an amusement thread and this thread be devoted to bringing attention to items that really could mislead a buyer into wasting their money.
    Of course we are only rendering "opinions" about items. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and should not be liable for libel, and or slander.

    We are being graced with a defending champion. It's time for: "Let's Play Ebay BS"

    Seller renaissance_auctions, you know the drill: COME ON DOWN:

    What's this you say renaissance_auctions? No picture this time? You want the audience to believe the signature is real?

    Without seeing a picture.......YOUR BS METER IS A 10.

    I wanted to go back to this one:

    Considering it's in the traditional blue ink, and has a date, would this be harder to forge??? I'm not trying to play devil's advocate or anything, but are we 100% sure they are frauds? All of them???

    I know Hutch (and skfakes) has looked at some of them already and trust them!

    I still wouldn't buy a flatsigned unless I knew whom I was buying it from and they had first-hand knowledge of the signing.

    This guy's got more of them coming too. I bet a lot of them wind up swimming the eBay market (from different sellers) for a long time.

    I know I'm not 100% sure. I however am far from an expert. Let's just say I am very leary.

    I wish I had the keen ability to determine the less-obvious fakes. I know I've seen some REAL obvious stinkers on eBay. I think one was even signed in crayon!

    I like the idea of this thread and do feel leary of this particular seller as well. The novice buyer should benefit from the wealth of experience on this board.

    Personally I'm of the opinion that if even one of his books is a fake then I don't want anything from him. I wouldn't even buy a S/L from the guy.

    Yes, this thread is an idea whose time has come. We'll probably move some "Let's Play..." posts over from the other thread as well to get them all in one place (to some extent).
