The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

[sublimicals]

They are facsimile signatures. That particular edition gets listed by novice sellers as "signed" frequently. It is not.

Thanks guys!

If you read the auction he pretty much admits right out that these are not authentic signatures. "What appears to be King's signature is inked on the page, but our research has not conclusively determined that it is indeed his authentic autograph."

That's CYA for "Hey, King didn't really sign this book."

[AKC]

Simon, this is unfortunate. Per Ric's comment, there has been a lot of discussion about this guy in the forum over the last month. He is a blatant forger and has been reported to eBay on several occasions. He actually changed his verbiage to include that BS that divemaster indicates regarding the fact that the signatures are not authentic.

Going to be hard not to pay for the 2nd book given that his verbiage in the listing warns the buyer regarding the authenticity....

[sgc1999]

The thing that really gets me is that he said that the wording was to protect him but he was certain that they were legit and that he had gotten them from a close friend of Stephens that lived in NH. From now on unless its a s/l limited or from someone on this site im not taking a chance again. Its not like he accidently recieved this book and didnt know. he is continuing to list fraudulant stephen king books. Im not loseing anymore sleep over it, what comes around goes around. eventually it will come back to him. Anyway twisted nadine was nice enough to offer me a legit copy of bag of bones for my collection so at least things are looking up:)

Yeah, saw your posts. A lot of times sellers dont do their homework before listing the item. I try to give them the benefit of doubt before accusing. This seller replied: "I found this book at a Goodwill in Omaha. I am not an expert on handwriting...but I will take a look at other signatures and compare" so assuming he cares about his rep as an Ebay seller you would think he would have done his comparison and removed the item by now...

The seller is just a common criminal. But just so you know, Simon, I think we've all had our share of buying bad sigs. And its because of this site that I am now more confident with my purchases.

[carlosdetweiller]

This person has no idea what they're talking about THUS they are an idiot THUS!


I tend to agree with you but there is no shortage of idiots on eBay. I've never liked the term "first edition thus" but, if used correctly, it can be descriptive and useful. I'm not an expert on this but to my mind it means the book has been modified in some way and republished. So it may have a new introduction, new illustrations, added text or something else. When the modified or updated book is published it can be called "first edition thus" if the "thus" is then defined by describing the new material. The seller in this case is making a mockery of the term and is THUS an idiot.

[Bev Vincent]

I think the term pertains to a revised edition (the revision could simply be a new cover) from a different publisher or printing house than the original. Otherwise it would just be a revised edition.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

"First thus" is a phrase used by book sellers, publishers, etc. to describe a book which may be considered a first edition and/or first printing, but which has been available previously in a slightly different form. A true first edition is the original, first printing of a given book, while a first thus is the first printing of a new version of that book. This classification can come about for any number of reasons, though often times it has to do with a new translation of a particular work, the involvement of a new (different) publisher, or with a new forward or introduction....

[Robert Fulman]

And at the end of the day, no number line and no price means that this is almost definitely a book club edition that could have been printed anytime between 1975 and now.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Mental

Yes, it is mental. For the record, the invitations to these buyers are very professional and shows them my concern of what is happening on Ebay. I don't, and never would make them feel bad for the purchase. Just trying to help.

Before anyone blames Ebay for allowing this to keep happening needs to understand, Ebay is just an avenue to move products, a tool if you will. It's ultimately up to the seller AND buyer to do his/her homework.

Not all sellers know they are selling forged copies. Most do the right thing and investigate. However, like this seller we are discussing, as well as the one who's name will remain redacted..haha, (who clearly sold 2 King forged books as well as some Obama & Bush forged books) will get his/her just deserts. It takes time to build a case and the more they sell, the more names that get added to the task force managers list to support the case.

So again, I invite sellers and buyers here to help educate them. I can't change the world, but it sure feels good to help a few people along the way.

Maybe that buyer doesnt want to know they're fakes. The seller says "Books do not come with a COA and No refunds (ebay rules and regulations)." So knowing he wont get a refund he's not pursuing it. I sure would. And it can't possibly be "ebay rules and regulations" to not issue a refund??

GOOOD question. I have asked the seller, from where it comes. Wait for answer...
I always think. As collector, when i know that i meet SK or i´am sure that i become an signature from ... SK (in the good old times when SK signs books, send to him)
WHY in the hell i want a signature in an ugly lousy Cujo softcover.
There are only a few 100% save original SK signed German books.
The limited to 25 signed Duddits-Dreamcatcher
The ONE and only The MIST - NEBEL Edition Phantasia
One-my signed Das Mädchen-TGWLTG German ARC that SK signed on his Lisey´s UK tour

But ... maybe this book with the signatur:
FOR CARLOS was an present for Carlosdetweiler:):):)

[iowabob]

But ... maybe this book with the signatur:
FOR CARLOS was an present for Carlosdetweiler:):):)
I'm sure if the book belonged to carlosdetweiler, it would still be safely shelved with the rest of his collection.

Not sure why anyone had a paperback signed, but based on the handwriting in the inscription, I'd say the signature is authentic.

Just become the answer from the seller.
He says, its one of the ´good old time 90ths´ sending to King, become it signed back ... books... But the sellers name is NOT CARLOS.....
Only reason for sending an softcover...... DELIVERY Cost´s to and from USA....
An small softcoverbook... you can send to the USA as ´letter´ for 6-8 euros, an hardcover for 35+ Euros

[TwistedNadine]

The only reason I can think of to have a paperback signed is opportunity. You just happen to have your reading copy paperback with you when you run into the author. Paperback or not I would ask for a signature. But I dont see the point in mailing in a paperback for sig. For a few bucks more why not the hardback?

[jhanic]

I agree completely! A hardcover may cost more to mail, but the value is so much more!

John

[WeDealInLead]

It could also be sentimental. I'd rather have my beat up paperback of The Gunslinger that got me 'into' King signed than a hardcover of The Tommyknockers, Gerald's Game or some crap like that.

Agree with wedealinlead. Thinking of going to Dallas signing for the new book, but I am bringing my 1st/1st Salem's Lot pb hoping to get it signed. It is the one that started me back in 76. The value will be way less, but it will be priceless to me.

Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer

then

Counterfeit, fake, or replica item

Then enter. You get the item number and a box to describe the problem. I usually just put Forged signature or autograph in the box.

It still surprises me that these OBVIOUS FAKES still get bidded on.

[killbourne]

Would it be outrageous for people here to advertise( on their ebay listings) coming to the darktower. org for people to get educated?

[Robert Fulman]

On top of that, I don't think "fine" means what he thinks it means.

[mcdonaldj]

LOL, that same guy had more than a few fakes and none look the same at all. Seems like he could at least have the same person fake them for consistency.

Too funny - smart and crook fortunately often do not mix.

Is this real or fake?

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Seller filip1 strikes again. I paid $14 expecting the slicase version with 3.5 floppy as shown in picture.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370495077253&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

That is clearly the slipcase version pictured (yes it is stock photo but he didn't have to use the slipcase picture if that isn't what you are getting) and Otto discusses the books to be fine. Well, no slipcase arrived with the books. Seller has become extremely rude and keeps asking "how in the world do you see a slipcase in that picture?"

A very RUDE seller and could care less about his customers. BEWARE! never NEVER NEVER again

[Jimimck]

He sounds like an idiot, as you can clearly see the stock photo is of the slipcase cover, and not of the cover of part 1. I would have expected the slipcase as well.

[jhanic]

My gut feel is fake, mainly because I don't think I've ever seen a King autograph on the front board like that.

I asked if she had any detail re how/where signed, and if it had a dustjacket. No comment re the signature and she confirmed no dustjacket. She then said she would put a BIn $10 on, but couldn't as there are already bidders.

I sometimes think several of us should bid, then when the auction is over, one by one we "change our mind". Sure would eat up a lot of time for deadbeat sellers.

Not sure about the "Authenticity" part of it, though its questionable IMHO, but as arule I dislike these type pieces, even though I "made" one with an EC signature (which he signed for me in person). They just end up feeling contrived.

No and if the seller refused a request to see the signature, then they certainly have something to hide.

[Fsmdr]

Real or fake?. I'm leaning to fake as the signature and the position of the signature seems too perfect. Plus from the reverse page, you can see that the signature was done very attentively, stroke per stroke. I could be wrong...

I'd say it's a fake. (And welcome back, Juliana! We've missed you.)

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I don't like it.

[Randall Flagg]

Interesting. I think it may be legit. I would love to hear what Bob, Ceri and Hutch have to say.

[AKC]

Don't like it at all.....

One of the better fakes however.....

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Just a quick look reveals seven areas of that signature that are wrong.

[Merlin1958]

Just a quick look reveals seven areas of that signature that are wrong.

Really? Wow, I am never ever buying another signed King book without consulting you guys ever again!!! That looked pretty good to me. If ya don't mind Ralph could you elaborate the areas for my edification? Seriously. If that's a fake than I think the seller thinks he's got the real deal and doesn't know it is. He sure posted plenty of Pics.

[Patrick]

I thought it looked real as well. Which is why I don't buy flatsigned SK books from unknown sources.

Ralph, I'd be interested in your 7-point analysis as well.

[carlosdetweiller]

I don't like it....but I can't say exactly WHY I don't like it. Maybe like Juliana said earlier....it just looks too perfect. King usually signs on a slant relative to the page and this one goes straight across. I'd be interested in Ralph's analysis too. My gut feeling is that it is not legit. I wouldn't buy it for my collection but I'm not 100% certain on my call of fake.

[AKC]

I don't like the loop off of the "n" in Stephen. The left side of the loop looks "flat" and less "rounded" when compared to every signed and S/L signature that I have.....

Gut tells me that it is fake. Again, if so, a darn good one......

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Again, this is just my opinion here. I don't like it. Here are five areas that jumped out at me very quick. The other two, the upside down frown at the bottom of the K and too many pressure points. However, some of these could be the type of pen used. Just my opinion though. I wouldn't buy it.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/668/IT_Sig.png

[AKC]

Excellent point Ralph......

Look at, what appears to be, the # of "stops" and "starts" from the "t" to the "e" in Stephen. I see three points that appear as if, when the pen hit the paper to start the next stroke, it bled slightly larger, in the form of a dot.....

Should be even stroke lines if the pen wasn't lifted off the page and placed back down mid-stroke.....

I think it is traced.....

[Shannon]

:) I love this place.

[neosatus]

Legit?

[Patrick]

I think it looks legit, but keep in mind that I was fooled by the last signature posted in this thread for discussion.

[Randall Flagg]

I say it's legit. Looks like King's "cramped" signature.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I'd say legit as well.

Unlike the IT signature which slanted the wrong way.

[carlosdetweiller]

Legit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wolves-Calla-Stephen-King-signed-1st-edition-/190562676951?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item2c5e6bb0d7

Yes.

[biomieg]

I say fake, without a doubt. I've never seen a King sig on two lines like that and the writing doesn't add up either. I'm not an expert by any means but I have seen so many King sigs here and my visual memory is pretty good.

[AKC]

No good.....

I don't like it. The "Stephen" seems wrong to me. Just my opinion.

John

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

It looks much the same as some of the 1980 signatures I have. I think it may be okay.

I had a recent fire sale on all my extra Dark Tower books (so I could buy Sins of the Fathers off Shannon). This guy bought most of my stuff; the prices he is now asking for the items he bought off me are insane, and his item conditions are questionable. For example, I sold him two W&G firsts for $70 (total). The books were both pretty loose, had dog-eared pages and reeked of smoke. One of them had a gouge in the dust jacket spine. I described my books extremely accurately, including the smell. Anyway, it's hard to see but in this auction (http://www.ebay.com/itm/STEPHEN-KING-WIZARD-GLASS-TRADE-LIMITED-SUPER-RARE-NM-/140593577318?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item20bc07bd66#ht_500wt_1413) he is selling a W&G as Brand New/Nice/Perfect/Good DJ; if you look close, you'll see that the DJ has a gouge through the letters "ST" on the spine.

Did you sell him that too?. His reply to my inquries on it is as new. No flaws. Now I am reconsidering buying anything for him at all!.

[Robert Fulman]

I sold him Viking DT I - IV, but they were book club editions. None had prices on the dust jackets, but II and IV did have full printing number lines. Given that right now he is listing I and IV, showing the number line only for IV and showing the price for neither, they could be the ones I sold him. The books I sold were in very nice shape, but if you really want then you should just consider signing up for the doubleday book club.

[Cujo56]

Well that's not even trying anymore

[Ben Staad]

I can proudly say that even I can tell that's a fake!

[Johnny007]

I kindly asked the Rose Madder auction person to pull the listing because the signature WAS FAKE. The second note told him that I was giving him/her the chance to do the right thing before I reported them. The last note (didn't get to send) told them that I'd just love to buy the book, pay for it and then sue them for knowingly selling a book with a fake signature or having a reasonable suspicion that the signature was not legitimate.

They pulled the auction with about 20 minutes left. I hope that means the bidder isn't stuck with the book. If not, I'll buy next time and they can deal with someone who just HATES this practice. Won't get them all but I will get a few of the pricks out there!

Even if it's legit (and I think the picture posted is a legit King signature), it is unclear if the book is a 1st/1st, and what condition it is in.
Check twice-buy once.

Thanks. Im asking the seller as we speak.

[Iwritecode]

This isn't a SK related item but I figured I'd put this here with hope that somebody can give me some advice.

I bought something last night through Ebay for my daughter. It's basically a cloak from a cartoon character that she likes and she wants it for a halloween costume. It was a buy-it-now so I paid for it through paypal. The seller is from China.

This morning had a few emails.

I'm not quite sure what I should do.

[Robert Fulman]

Follow ebay's advice and contact the seller. You need to wait seven days before you can open a case anyway. It basically comes down to one question: do you think you'll get the item or not?

[jhanic]

It sounds as if you've been scammed. I'd complain to eBay immediately and demand your money back from the seller. If you paid via a Paypal credit card, also file a claim with your credit card company.

[Shannon]

Hey guys, not sure what's going on, but be wary with this auction:

Stephen King's Full Dark; RARE one of a kind remarqued (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-Kings-Full-Dark-RARE-one-kind-remarqued-/110741601290?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item19c8b6bc0a)

The auction is for a thrice remarqued Full Dark, No Stars gift edition, and the auction itself has no pictures of the remarques. I contacted the seller asking to see pictures of the remarques and he sent me four pictures and they were from the Artist Edition S/L of Dark Forces (the signature page, and three remarques ... and to the left of two of the remarques you can see ... DARK ... and FORCES, lol)

So ... I asked what was going on, that was a few hours ago. No response yet. Might be a simple mix up, but I didn't want anyone to get screwed when I could have said something. I will update if and when he responds. Thanks.

Shannon

[Shannon]

Seller responded with new pics of the three remarques, they look quite good. He said it was a mix up.

That works for me. :)

[Robert Fulman]

Did that book really sell for $108?

[Shannon]

Damnit! I was going to place a bid but didn't get a look at the ending time. I just assumed it was later. Fudge! The remarques were pretty nice too. Damnitdamnitdamnit!

Shannon

[Robert Fulman]

No kidding. They had it listed a few weeks ago with a starting bid of $650, then changed to a BIN/Best Offer listing at $700.

[Shannon]

He has three other remarques up, the two SOD and the Dark Forces Artist S/L with three remarques. None are as impressive as the one that just sold for ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DOLLARS though ... AARARGGHHHH;cmdlknclkcndsflknnflndfljn vfuivre987vfh3489f4!!!!! So angry lol

The CELL looks good IMO.....

No?

[gsvec]

I think Cell looks good, too - but I'd have to think twice about buying anything from her based on the others. Ick.

[AKC]

I asked the Seller several questions.

The Cell was bought several years ago. I truly think that one is legit.....

The Stand looks pretty good as well but it is a BOOK CLUB EDITION

The other items are from her Grandfather's Collection and look a bit "suspect" to me.....

My two cents......

AKC

[Room 217 Caretaker]

My opinion here:

The Stand is too pretty of a signature. Don't like it. Sort of straight up and down as well. A nice attempt though.

Cell (wish we had a closer shot) it looks like the g was added after, and the loop is wrong. It sort of looks like an 07 signature attempt. Now, it very well could be a rushed, stalking King signature.

All her other sigs are suspect as well. I agree with Gretchen, because of the others, "when in doubt don't pull your wallet out".

Again, just my opinion

The Dead Zone is good.

How is the Seller going to get 10 Copies signed?????

I'd rather pay David $30.00 more to ensure that I get a copy.......

And to support Betts of course!!!

Yes. King's signature is definitely fake. I'm no expert on Bernie's signature but it looks off to me too.
