PSSST, HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR
YOU FROM NARUKO
One of the early contributors
to TiffanyFakes.Com is NARUKO who has several listing for Tiffany
Studios items. One is for a Tiffany (?) window. It is Ebay 120176213666
and it offers an excellent education in reading and understanding
sales pitches. Read the listing carefully. The seller is offering
an opportunity to buy one of these windows which "should bring
between $250K and $350K" but you can purchase it from him for
only $145,000. You are going to be his new best friend but before
you run off and spend all of this money you are going to make, you
need to take a few minutes and read his 18 negative feedbacks. They
are not the usual took too long to ship, poor communication or postage
too high feedback. After a review of the feedback, the following are
excerpts: "reproduction", "fakes", "not original",
"false goods", "very misleading", "fraud",
"new repo" and several of them comment on the fact that
the seller will not honor his own printed guarantee. Such a deal.
The seller wants to sell some lamps but gives you a lot of talk about
his guarantee which applies to paintings. If you feel like you want
to gamble with this seller, ask for a specific guarantee and ask that
it be placed in the listing. Some of their listings have a return
policy and some do not. One says it can be returned for store credit
only but must be returned within 7 days and it must be accompanied
by a "signed written statement by a professionally recognized
and qualified authority". but do not forget to get all of this
done within the 7 days. You can imagine what a store credit could
be worth from this seller. This seller also uses the Private Bidder
feature and this Ebay option should never be offered to any seller
with feedback like this seller has. The
Tiffany (?) items this seller has been listing lately have not had
one single offer which should tell them that buyers are not totally
stupid. Remember the best piece of Tiffany you ever buy should be
real.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT MAKES IT FAKE?
In order to be genuine Tiffany,
it must be described correctly. A vase with a fake signature or
a lamp with a genuine base and a fake shade or a desk set piece
with a missing or altered part will all be placed on this site.
Recently we have seen several examples of this and also have seen
lamp parts put together or modifications made to a genuine lamp
which does not make them genuine. If you have interest in a listing
and you cannot see the item clearly, the signature is not shown
or the base is not shown, do not bid. Ask for additional pictures
and insist they be placed as a revision to the listing. Some auction
houses are masters of deception with their one picture and lack
of a guarantee and then they expect you to bid and pay upwards of
20 percent commission. If it is called Tiffany, then it should be
guaranteed to be genuine Tiffany. Do not settle for less.

NOT EVERY FAKE IS ON THIS SITE.
- USE COMMON SENSE WHEN YOU BID. RECENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW
BROKEN AND REPAIRED PIECES OF TIFFANY GLASS OFFERED FOR SALE. IF
IT IS DAMAGED, WE DO NOT LOOK TO
SEE IF IT IS GENUINE. WHO WOULD WANT A BROKEN AND REPAIRED PIECE
OF TIFFANY GLASS?

--OF COURSE IT IS NOT--
We still do not know about the lamp but more importantly,
we do know that the seller is a fake. Ebay finally woke up
and realized what was happening here and this seller has been
disconnected. 7 bids were placed and hopefully the seller
did not make a deal off Ebay. Pay attention.

They have used
at least 30 different names, usually with a 0 rating and
always with a fake Tiffany lamp and they can be found on
almost every page of TiffanyFakes.Com. It had 5 bids (now
there is only 1) up to $10,000 but of course, the names
of the bidders are kept PRIVATE. Most likely they are shills
and if it runs the normal course, they will try and sell
off Ebay. Who would bid on a Tiffany lamp offered by a 0
rated seller? No guarantee in the listing and no PayPal.
Finally, the shade shown in the listing is NOT the same
as sold in the auctions mentioned. Those sold were real
and this is not. Ask about an escrow sale. Ask to see the
base signature and if you get a photo, e mail it to us.
News-Ebay took 3 days but this
seller is No Longer A Registered User. Way to go Ebay.

CHECK OUT THIS SCAM
The lamp shown on the left
is currently listed on Ebay as 160203462204 by a brand new
seller named CHARSUTHERLAND who has been on Ebay for 3 days.
No photos of the base signature and no photos of the shade
signature. When the telephone number for this seller is dialed,
guess what? Why would anyone bid on a Tiffany lamp from a
0 rated seller? This lamp is familiar as it was offered many
times from the group out of Atlanta and it is possible that
they are offering it again or maybe the photos were stolen
from those thieves. Pay attention and you will not get robbed.
