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"

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.

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?
