The Atlanta group has lost another player.
These are the people listed on page 6 who sell using the PRIVATE
feature, have no feedback and are usually less than 30 days
registered on Ebay. The newest to leave Ebay is ANTIQUEHUNTER0
(antiquehunter0) and you can be sure he did not leave of his own free
will. The problem is that they always leave taking a lot of money for
fakes. His listings says he is from Miami. This time it was $8000
from a buyer in New York and $5000 from a buyer in Atlanta. The
interesting part is that seller JAMIECOHEN961 (see page 4) sold
$27,000 worth of fake lamps to someone who sent the money to the very
same name and the very same address as ANTIQUEHUNTER0 used. They come
and they go and they have different names and show that they live in
different cities but the money always seem to go to the same person
and the same address. Something is coming for them and it will not be
a payment of the sort that they are looking for and it will not come
in the mail.

The piece on the left and another piece of
railroad memorabilia on page 6 are the newest type of fake to show
up. Both pieces say they were made by or are made of Tiffany glass.
If it is part of a train, pass on it. |

CAUTION Be very careful when buying from
the "drop off stores" where the message is second hand and
it becomes a "that's what the owner told me" provenance.
That will not make the piece genuine and many of the sellers of fakes
use this method so they are not connected to the sale. |

On the left is another listing from MARVELOUS-
MERCHANDISE who
guarantees all of his items to be old and original but does not
guarantee them to be as he lists them. He has been a contributor to
TiffanyFakes.Com for a long time. Read his feedback. Of course his
bidders are all PRIVATE |
Read the newest press release from Ebay
regarding the use of PRIVATE bidders names. It used to be that the
seller had the option of using this ploy "for the protection of
the bidders" but it was just used to keep the buyers from being
notified by other concerned Ebayers that you were bidding on or
buying a fake. Ebay has instituted a new policy whereby Ebay will
hide the bidders names and call them Bidder 1, Bidder 2, Bidder 3 and
so on. Now the sellers of fakes, with the assistance of Ebay, will
have an open market to plunder. At least in the past you had the
option to stay away from those sellers using this ploy, but now you
cannot tell the good guys from the bad guys or the shills from the
real bidders. Ebay has now offered less protection for the bidders
and has raised the rates again. The fake and fraudulently signed
Indian found on page 1 and page 6 has been bid up to $600 for seller
INGSAFA and it did not even meet reserve. This piece can be purchased
for less than $10.00 but it will most likely have the Made In Taiwan
sticker still attached. Yes indeed,
Ebay wants to make buying safe by hiding the buyers name. Ebay calls
this "protecting out Community of members". Wait until the
buyers wakes up.

The vase on the left is unusual in that the base
might be genuine Tiffany Studios but the glass vase itself is a fake
and fraudulently signed piece. That makes it a half fake. «««««««««««««««« |

IS THIS A SCAM IN THE MAKING? The lamp on the left
was just listed for sale on Ebay by a 0 rated new seller from
California. It is shown on page 4 on this site when it was listed 3
different times in November 2006 as 160045486100, then as
160050304759 and, finally as 160053197793. It was a fake in November
and it is a fake now. First listed by MCCJOEA who is mentioned on
page 4, page 5, page 6 and now on page 7, but it is now listed by
ROBMAZ56 who used the same pictures as MCCJOEA. Watch and see what
happens to 220073975085. This lamp sold for $1000. Imagine someone's
good luck getting a "signed and original Tiffany lamp" with
a "signed and original shade" for $1000. This seller has
more fakes listed now and has moved from Folsom, California and back
to the Southeastern, United States. That was the past address used by
the sellers of the other fakes outlined on the previous pages. Wonder
if the checks are going to Georgia again? |

Seen this shade before?. JAMIECOHEN961 - NO LONGER
A REGISTERED USER - listed this shade in August 2006. You can read
all about that seller on pages 4, 5 and 6. It has now been listed
again (220075714395) and this current seller - ROBMAZ56 - is
mentioned above. When will it ever end? |

ROBMAZ56 - see coments above - continues to list
more Tiffany fakes that have been listed before and now instead of
calling them Tiffany he has now changed the listings to
"attributed to Tiffany" but the attribution is incorrect.
Read the listings carefully especially where is says "All Sales Final"

ANTIQUESFROMANTIQUARIANTRADERS The
three pictures above are currently listed on Ebay as Tiffany Studios
items and can be purchased at their upcoming auction. The item on the
right was handled by Napolean in 1804 which was 65 years before
Tiffany started Tiffany Studios and 44 years before he was even born.
How did they get it signed if he was not even born in 1804? Read
their feedback |

Remember the Michigan sellers - MCCJOEA and
ALANDSPITTERSS - who hit the Ebay scene with their fake Tiffany lamps
which had been listed before by other 0 rated sellers from Florida
and Georgia. Gradually they disappeared and when you go to look for
them, they have became No Longer A Registered User. Well there is a
brand new seller - CAMROHM2738 - who is from St Joseph, Michigan and
is offering that tired old acorn shade that looks to have been made
in high school shop. Is it unbelievable that three sellers all from
the Southwest part of Michigan are offering fake Tiffany lamps. Read
the past stories about them. It was listed for one day and then it
was gone only to reappear the very next day as 20007737546. Know what
you are buying and know who you are buying it from. A zero rated
seller is not your friend and has absolutely nothing to offer you but
a load of trouble. |

ROBMAZ56 has now joined the ranks of the other
sellers of Tiffany fakes and he is now listed as No Longer A
Registered User. Ebay was warned that he was selling fakes and they
continued to allow the sales to go forward. All of the signs were
there but Ebay wanted their commission and now the buyers of this
junk are left to tend to their wounds. This must be what Ebay calls
"protecting our Community of members". The signs are very
evident and why Ebay fails to see and read these signs is a mystery.
The funny part is that Ebay shuts them down only when Ebay fails to
get paid. Did the payments for these lamps go to Atlanta again? |
|
Just when you finally got all of the players
identified, up pops another brand new player in the fake Tiffany
shade business. This new player is DAVIDHUTCH821 and surprise, he is
from Georgia, has a zero rating, will not accept Paypal, says Bid
With Confidence but offers no guarantee. These shades are tired and
we are tired of seeing them again and again. Get some new fakes. |

Another of the Atlanta group who is also one of the
Michigan group, CAMROHM2738 is now No Longer A Registered User
- no surprise there. More information on that seller is detailed
above. Do not waste your time looking for checks but be on the
lookout for subpoenas. They are on the way. |

Will the lamp on the left sell on
Ebay? Is is listed by a brand new seller with a 0 rating, no
guarantee, no photos of the signature and no provenance.

The three pieces above are an outstanding example
of fakes that just keep showing up. DRJUSTICE is fully aware that he
is selling fakes and even mentions in one of his listings that
Tiffany Studios is mispelled. These pieces are made in Taiwan and
sell for less than $10.00 each. What does he do with all of those
Made In Taiwan stickers that he takes off of them? |

Another new seller LENNRICK893 has just entered
Ebay world with a fake Acorn lamp that has been listed several times
by some of the other members of the Atlanta group. This seller shows
Indiana as the location which is just 30 miles from the three
Michigan sellers mentioned above. Ebay woke up and was able to read
the signs that show both the lamp and the seller to be a fake, and
they have removed the seller and the lamp from Ebay. The same
pictures from other listings with no guarantee that it is genuine and
no Paypal either. Paypal does offer some protection. Way to go Ebay
Now we just have to worry about DAVIDHUTCH821. |

The bookends on the left are most likely real and
were listed as Ebay 150090802353 to end on 2/10/2007 with an address
listed as Retropolis, US from seller FIGURE8DESIGN; relisted as Ebay
180084653679 to end on 2/15/2007 with an address listed as Lala Land,
US from seller GROOVYGROTTO, and now relisted as Ebay 130082566578 to
end on 2/26/2007 with an address listed as Pennsylvania, US from
seller RUMAD4MOD. Seller GROOVYGROTTO is listed as No Longer A
Registered User and the way to become no longer registered on Ebay is
left to your imagination. Why would you put your trust in Ebay when
they allow this to happen and then they hide the bidders names so no
one can contact them?. Addresses like Lala Land, Retropolis and
Pennsylvania do not meet minimum standards anywhere but on Ebay.Who
really has these bookends and does this listed seller really have them? |
