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. |

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 a fake. See a pair
above. Read the listing carefully as the seller calls it Tiffany,
Steuben and even Quezal. Read the guarantee and read the feedback

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 |
