and fraudulently signed piece of Tiffany for sale, do not offer
any comments as you should have resolved all of the issues prior
to listing a fake. The owner told me it was real is not of interest
as an excuse.

The comment
below was sent it by a seller who uses the Ebay name ENTOURAGE1
from Syracuse,
New York and although it was removed when someone notified them
that it was not Tiffany and being the good Ebay seller that they
are, he relisted it as Quezel. This seller has photos of his works
on Page 9 and Page 15 but all someone needs to do is read his feedback
to get a good idea who you would be dealing with.
"Those
things are ridiculous. I know a hundred sellers who don't know the
myriad of patterns tiffany had. We get a piece are told it's Tiffany
and sell it as such. I should not have to be a Tiffany pro and have
every book to know."

Thanks for
the great site. It has been a nice 2 hours of reading.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you very
much for this invaluable service. I never would have been
able to spot the patterns of the sellers as you have. You are holding
the sellers responsible for what they put on Ebay. I applaud you
for looking out for the buyers..many of whom need your expertise.
I would have never thought
there were that many Tiffany fakes. Again, Thank you. LM
OH
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You and your
site are a blessing.
It’s so wonderful that you take the time to do it.
WHAT A GREAT
WEBSITE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. BUYING A FAKE AND
GETTING STUCK WITH IT IS A SICK FEELING. WHAT YOU ARE DOING WILL
HOPEFULLY STOP SOME OF THAT. THANKS
Just wanted to let you know that
I have canceled my listing on the fake
Tiffany Studios floor lamp. Your website is a great service. Just
wish I knew
this lamp was fake before I listed it. Keep up the good work. Best
Regards, G
I wanted to thank you for all
the info you have passed on about fake Tiffany
and the people selling it. I have been in the antique business for
14 years,and
have bought & sold many Tiffany objects. Recently in Brimfield,I
purchased
a pair of Tiffany Studios Cobra Candlesticks,for $1500, I was extremely
excited
about it. The patina was dark brown with red highlights!! signature,
number,
just perfect. I showed them to a Tiffany dealer friend,who promptly
said
they were fake, I was in shock, not about the money, I knew I'd get
that back,
but the fact they were so good. I felt like an idiot. The message
here is there
are a lot of "bad Tiffany " floating around,one must be
very careful and
purchase from a reputable dealer.
Thank you very much for the information.
I looked them up
and retracted my bid. Kim
Thanks for the e-mail.
I solved this problem, will return merchandise and receive my
money back. Thanks for the info. I wish more ebayers were like
you. Please keep on helping to solve this fraud cases at eBay.
Your new friend in Puerto Rico.
So glad to find this site.
I have spent many hours trying to train myself to decipher the
authentic from the fake with regard to Tiffany lamps and am so
pleased to find your site. This will save me a lot of time. What
a great service, I thoroughly appreciate it!
I almost bid on this vase but
was hesitant after I read the seller's description.
Red flags were going up!! I went to your website & you confirmed
my suspicions!! Thanks.
Thanks for the information.
Your one of the reasons why eBay is such a successful marketplace.
Thanks, Pete
I thought you might like to
know that BEFORE I even think about bidding
on any "Tiffany" item listed on e-bay, I check your web
site. Thanks to you,
I have also gotten pretty good at spotting 'suspicious' listings.
Keep up
the great work. Thanks. Bob
I was recently informed that
my name was added to your list of dealers
of fake Tiffany. I had two items that I listed without realizing
they were not authentic, and upon learning that they were, I cancelled
the deal with the
high bidders. I did not, and have never, intentionally mislead anyone
with my auctions. Please remove my name.
Thank you so much for your
email. You just saved me $2500.00.
I know nothing about lamps and relied on the fact it was represented
as very old, 1900-1920. I really appreciate the ebay members like
you
exposing fakes. M.Dd
While I do laud your web site,
you do, it seems, perform a service to people who don't know left
from right - I do think you should contact sellers before lifting
pictures and using their name on their site from EBAY. Ebay Seller
BARY
I think this is outrageous.
NEVER did I try to sell these 2 items under
false pretenses. I was not even sure, and mentioned it. How else
should I sell
these items on EBAY? I HAVE to mention the fact that Tiffany is
engraved
on them. I do not SAY that it is specifically TIFFANY? Give me a
clue here!!!!
Whoever you are, you are doing
a great service for the unwary. Thank you. Luckily I am not one
of those. Knowledge is still king. Regards, Andre
Thank you so much for the heads
up notice on this fake Tiffany light fixture!
It's people like you that are making a difference in this world
of scams and corruption. We have cancelled our offer to purchase
this item. Thanks again
for all your help, and taking the time to notify us. Greatly appreciate
it!
And you know this because?
Why not tell the seller? Why tell me?
Maybe the seller isn't aware the fixture could be a fake.
I was alerted
to your site by a fellow eBayer after posting the winning bid
of over $165 for a fake Tiffany bronze. Luckily I was able to recover
my
Paypal payment with a minimal number of threats, thanks to my being
able to use evidence from your website as proof. Of course, the
seller
"didn't know it was a fake..."
Thanks for your
timely response...impressive. I appreciate your help and must apologize
as the mark is "Tiffany & Co." and not involved with
Tiffany Studios.
I should have been more specific in my initial email. Again, thanks
for
the help and for educating me.
Thank you for
the info on the fake Tiffany. Interestingly, CNN did a
story about the fakes on Ebay this morning. I appreciate your letting
me know.
Thank you for
advising me before paying for that item,what should I do now?? Should
I contact the seller?? or contact Ebay?? Let me know
I understand
you have added us to your Dealers to Watch list. The lion
that is offered at auction was consigned to us from an estate. We
pride ourselves in selling quality items. In our haste to get our
auction online quickly this item made the listing prior to our in-house
appraiser looking at it. We have
been made aware that copies of Tiffany items do exist. Please note
this
will be removed from our listing.
"Thank
you, thank you, thank you. You saved me from wasting my money
on a frog that I thought was Tiffany because the seller said it
was signed Tiffany. I keep seeing the same seller offering the
same pieces every day and wonder why Ebay does not do something
to stop this. Thanks again." Carol G.
Thanks. Did
not go through with the sale.
Thank you.
I almost
bought something and saw
the site and then STOPPED.
Happy Holidays
Thanks for
the important information. Jenny
Thanks! I have
sent a complaint to ebay regarding mystic-rhino-inc for
selling fake items represented as vintage/unique. I have refused
to pay for
any of the auctions from them, and am waiting to retaliate bad feedback.
Guess that is the breaks! People like that give Ebay a bad name!
Hi; Thank you
for letting me know about the inkwell. I think the seller
should have to state that it is a reproduction. Also they should
be kicked off
Ebay for selling new as old. Thank you again for your information...
Thank you for
the website. Fortunately, I was out bid, twice. I must do
something right. It is too bad that Ebay does not have a means for
posting information such as your's. Bob
Hi, I
was notified of your web site after bidding on the above item.
Thankfully I was out bid; however, the seller has begun listing
other bidders
as private bidders, except for my bid. Seems like something is afoul
here
and I wanted to bring it to your attention. I haven't purchased
any
"fakes" and with the information on your web site I won't.
Thanks
Thanks for the
information. Diana
Well, thanks for
the tip on that one, luckily I didn't win it. Roger
Thank you so
much...luckily I hadn't paid for the item yet. I advised the seller
and reported this to Ebay security. I'll definately be more careful
thanks to you!
THANKS...great
information!! HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Tom
Thanks so much. This confirmed
my suspicions and I am grateful for
your expertise. The website is fantastic!
Thanks Again, you are providing
a valuable service both to the
internet community and to Ebay
