We continue to expand
and have decided to retain the photos of past fakes so as
to keep a reference library. Many of the fakes offered months,
weeks and days ago are relisted again and again.
Remember we are selling
nothing, offering no services, reccomending nobody and have
no interest in knowing your e mail address. We are a totally
free service devoted to stopping the sale of fake and fraudulent
pieces of Tiffany Studios. There is no other agenda.

Probably the most current
prolific seller of fakes has several lamps and shades on
Ebay at this time. The seller is using the name JAMIECOHEN961
but these lamps have been listed on Ebay before by sellers
with a completely different name. These shades were fake
then and they are fake now. Check out the listings and notice
that the lamp is guaranteed to be real but what about the
shade?.Bidding is and has been very active on the listings.
Two of the lamps did not meet reserve and this is probably
because the bidders realized that they are not real. There
were 10 bids from one seller and he never did hit the reserve.
Wonder if that bidder knows something the other bidders
did not know. Be very careful.

The shade on the left is
listed at $ .99 with no reserve and a notice to NOT e mail
with any questions. Shipping from China is $158.

FAKE ---- FAKE ----
FAKE ---- FAKE ---- FAKE ---- FAKE
Direct from Ft. Myers,
Florida comes another new fake listing from JAMIECOHEN961
who has been mentioned above because of the other four fakes
recently listed. This new listing is Ebay 140018078990 and
much can be learned from reading the listing. The seller
states in the listing that "it is guaranteed old"
and continues with "Both the shade and base are signed
and numbered". Nowhere in the listing does it guarantee
that the lamp or the shade are genuine Tiffany. Wonder why?
The seller
also shows you a new way to mark this fake by crudely stamping
it on the side of the base instead of on the bottom of the
base. It is not even a good fake but it surely is a fake.
UPDATE: Of the 13 bids
placed to date on this fake lamp are 4 from RAYROB640
(now LOUISCEXP.625) who just happens to always be around
to bid on some of this sellers items and never seems to
meet the reserve. Strange?
NEW UPDATE: The fake
lamps have been relisted and the seller has started to
use the PRIVATE BIDDER feature so no one can tell the
bidders that they are fake.
MORE NEW UPDATES: More
fake lamps are being listed. Keep paying attention to
this site to see the latest news about this seller.

CARRIE43326 and her bidding
friend who never seems to reach reserve, have both been listed
as "No Longer A Registered User" and when Ebay lets
them back on, hopefully they will behave.

The seller on the left has
just entered the Tiffany business and has at least 20 pieces
of fake Tiffany as perfume bottles, lamps and vases offered
at this time. Appears that the seller has other fakes listed
also. Watch out.
|
|
All of the
above pieces are offered by R1CK1E
and this is not all of his fake offerings.
Ebay at it's worst.

The photos shown on the
left are beginning to show up with some frequency and anytime
you see it, it will be attached to a fake. Tiffany never used
this as a signature and Broadway was never an address for
Tiffany Studios.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We just received an e mail
from someone who just spent thousands of dollars on a lamp
believing that it was genuine and the real thing. Suspicions
made the buyer get a professional opinion and it was determined
to be a fake and the buyer is trying to get their money back
and is having a lot of trouble. The e mail asked why we had
not shown a picture of the lamp. It is not possible to show
every lamp but when we went to see the lamp on Ebay, it was
clear that there were going to be problems. The simple tips
shown on this site in different locations work every single
time and pictures of every single fake are not always necessary.
A review of that particular listing shows all of the signs
we have warned you about and we will show these again. 1.
USER ID KEPT PRIVATE - Why would any seller need this on the
listing unless they are selling adult material. 2. LITTLE
OR LOW FEEDBACK - Where would a low rated seller get 10 Tiffany
lamps or even get one Tiffany lamp although it can happen
and it sometimes does happen. 3. PRIVATE FEEDBACK - What is
being hidden here? If there are negatives, are they because
the item took a long time to receive or because it was never
shipped? Did the buyer pay late or did the buyer not pay at
all? 4. ITEM LOCATION - Why would someone not want to say
where they are selling from? Northeast, Southeast, US Southwest
Coast, Beautiful Hills of Tennessee or some other vague address
does not answer the question and should do nothing more than
raise more questions. For a perfect example, look at Ebay
160027363032 that just came on the market. The lamp is a fake
- a review of the 845 pictures shown in TIFFANY AT AUCTION
and a review of the hundreds of pictures in GLASS - BRONZES
- LAMPS by Koch does not show a lamp that even comes close
to this lamp.The patina looks like it was applied last night
and it is very easy to see the lack of Tiffany quality. The
seller - SUEQ404 - has a low rating and has been a bidder
on some of the other fakes listed above but never seemed to
reach reserve on these other fake lamps that were being sold
from a vague address and from a seller with a low feedback
rating.
COMMON SENSE IS YOUR
BEST PROTECTION
|
The lamp mentioned above
offered by SUEQ404 sold a few days ago for $7600 and had
22 bids on it. Now 4 days later, it is back and listed again
on Ebay as 160030340054.still from SOUTH EAST and still
USER ID KEPT PRIVATE. Since Ebay will not let us share in
the bidders names, we can only wonder what is going on with
this lamp being listed again. Just like the first time,
it is still a fake. Be careful.

If you see this signature,
you are looking at a fake. It appears all the time and is
part of the mold. Tiffany signed his pieces after they were
made so he could see that they were excellent before he signed
them.

This is back and it is still

seller calls it Tiffany, Steuben and even Quezal. Read the

One of our SELLERS TO
WATCH - SUEQ404 - has just relisted a fake and fraudulently
signed Tiffany counterbalanced lamp for the third time this
month. It sold (?) on September 10th for $7600 and had 22
bids. It sold (?) again on September 15th for $5000 and
had 18 bids. It is now listed again and we will be sure
and let you know what it sells for if it sells. Maybe the
third time is the charm. Yes, the location of the item is
vague, yes, the ID of the bidders is kept private and yes,
the seller has a low feedback. There are a lot of these
suspicious type of sales going on at this time with the
fake lamps selling and then showing up for sale again in
a few days. The one common thread is that they all seem
to be coming from the SOUTH EAST or SOUTHEASTERN COAST.
They might grow there but one thing is sure, they have never
seen the Studios of Tiffany. --- On September 25th, 18 bidders
ran this up to $5000 again, but were any of the bids real
or were they shill bids?

The inkwell - some call it
a door knocker - on the left is an old scam that has been
on Ebay many many times. Today it is listed 5 times. The first
time it is listed in the Collectibles catagory by OSAGEOAKS
who likes to sell fakes and it is listed for $9.99 with no
reserve.The second time it is listed by MERCHVENT in the Antiques
catagory with a starting price of $695.00. It is listed 3
more times - one from KATEM8650 for $99 and one from SUGAROO6000
for $9.99and finally from AUCTIONUS for $24.95. The freighter
from Taiwan has arrived. Pay $10 or pay $700 - it is a fake
at either price. Tell the sellers you saw it on TiffanyFakes.Com
and maybe they will remove it.

The Tiffany Merry-Go-Round
continues. JAMIECOHEN961 has relisted a fake Tiffany Studios
lamp again. It sold on September 24th for $4150 and had 26
bids but it is for sale again. We will post the new sales
price as soon as it sells again. What is causing all of these
Tiffany Studios lamps to be offered again and again by these
same sellers who use PRIVATE BIDDERS and all come from either
the SOUTH EAST or SOUTHEASTERN COAST? Something does not seem
right about this. These fakes are getting harder to sell again,
again and again. It sold again. This time it sold for $2950
and had 17 bids. A high price for a cheap fake. Watch for
it again.
|
|
PAPER LABELS - Remember
that it is very easy to make a paper label and if it is affixed
to a genuine piece of Tiffany Studios, it should be almost
100 years old. A lot of paper labels are beginning to show
up on fake pieces so be very careful when you see this labels
