NAMES OF SELLERS IN
ITALIACS ARE REPEAT VIOLATORS
Remember we are selling nothing, offering no
services, making no recommendations 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.

The lamp below is an
IGOSELL |
excellent example of gross exaggeration by a
seller. The use of Studios in the title is also a fabrication.
Probably the most outrageous misrepensation seen on Ebay is a long
time. Check out Ebay 160107861457 Yes, it is "Very, Very
Rare" and very, very fake. |
The lamp on the right is from a 0 rated seller who
is new to Ebay. The lamp is the same old fake from the group we have
been following for many months. It is even the same photo used
before. No guarantee, PRIVATE bidders and certified funds only.
Yeah, sure |

Even a novice would know Tiffany did not do
cherubs but this seller says the "cherubs are a highly desirable
subject for Tiffany collectors". This from a seller with 108
negatives. Fake lamp and fake shade. |

An old fake from the past offered by yet another 0
rated seller who offers no guarantee and wants you to pay with
certified funds. Also uses the PRIVATE feature. See the one above on
the right from ROFUL_43 |

GENERAL CONSUMER WARNING
Your attention is directed to a
warning that is a part of Ebay listing 220107020001 which is for a
fake and fraudulently signed Tiffany Studios desk lamp. This very
same lamp has been on Ebay numerous times by such sellers as
JAMIECOHEN961, SUEQ404, ALANDSPITTERSS, EDDYDANIELJ, CAMROHN2738,
DAVIDHUTCH821, LENNRICK893, RUSSYFOR63 and now SALLOUSHA1 has the
same lamps that we have been tracking since we opened Page 2. These
people sometimes use the very same pictures which should tell you
that when it is offered for sale by a seller from Michigan, the lamp
is probably not in the seller's possession. The addresses used by
this group are all over the country but the money always seems to
flow to Atlanta regardless of which one of the above named was the
seller. In the early stages of this scam, the lamps were guaranteed
to be genuine Tiffany but when the buyers actually had the junk in
their hands, they knew something was terribly wrong. After appraisals
by qualified experts, demands were made for the return of their money
but you can probably guess how that came out. Now they just list
them, offer no guarantee, refuse escrow, have 0 or low feedback, are
new to Ebay, use PRIVATE to hide the shill bidding and want certified
funds. This particular seller SALLOUSHA1 has already had Ebay
220105116775 and 220105113647 removed and when there is no record of
a number, it means that it was removed by Ebay. Additionally this
seller also listed Ebay 220106963180, which was described as a Black
Eyed Susan Tiffany lamp that actually came out of Tiffany's home.
There is nothing they will not do to sell one of these fakes and the
Black Eyed Susan is completely gone, again the mark of Ebay. A lamp
signed by Tiffany does not make a lamp genuine. These sellers are a
joke and will continue to be a joke. TIFFANYFAKES.COM will continue
with the pattern we have established for over a year and will always
try to be informative, truthful and are always interested in feedback
from experienced Tiffany experts. Your best purchase of Tiffany will
be the purchase of a genuine piece. Be careful and do not become a
victim. Know what you are buying and know whom you are buying from.
UPDATE: Ebay has removed all of his
Tiffany listings
Another of these 0 rated sellers
has just been removed from Ebay. The seller name was PAKDAB312 and
just like the rest of them, a new seller, 0 feedback, PRIVATE buyers
and less than a month on Ebay. He was offering a fake Acorn which has
been offered many times by other members of this group and this time
he got 2 bids of which $500.00 was the maximum. These people think
everybody is an idiot. The pattern is clear and if they fit the
pattern, stay away from them.

The piece on the right and the piece on the left
are both very obvious fakes listed by ABERDEEN-AUCTIONS. If these are
fakes what about the other items offered by this seller? |

Mentioned above is another 0 rated seller -
ROFUL_43 - who now has two more fake Tiffany pieces currently listed.
One is an acorn shade on a Grueby base and the other is listed as a
Rare 1900c. No guarantee on either, no escrow offered, PRIVATE bidder
and this seller has set the trap for no returns as he clearly says in
the listing that he knows nothing about them. Just walking down the
street and they fell in my hands is as good as anything else to say.
Can you believe this seller would think everybody is an idiot? Some
genius bid $5000 on one of his lamps. Wait until the buyer gets it in
his hands. |

UNBELIEVABLE YET AGAIN
There are back yet again. The same old Tiffany fake
lamps that have been offered at least 4 or 5 times before are now
offered by another new seller - CAPTNJACK210 - who has been on Ebay
for one week, has a 0 rating, lives in another state but still has
the very same pictures and the same verbiage that have been used
before. The turtleback fake is Ebay number 110128149469 now but was
most recently 220105105147 which cannot be found because Ebay removed
it and all of the Tiffany fakes by the last seller SALLOUSHA1 who is
profiled above. There is something new - this new seller will take
PayPal but not for over $500.00. Easy to see through that statement.
There is a reference to a Sotheby's Condition Report in the new
listing so all of those interested should e mail for a copy. Do not
hold your breath waiting for it. Look quickly as it will be gone soon
only to show up again and again and again and again.

The sconce above which is Ebay
260118478194 and listed by OCTAVIA6 has posted on their listing that
TiffanyFakes.Com has made a mistake in identifying this sconce as a
fake. The seller is quick to point out that Bonhams &
Butterfields will vouch for this piece and we suggest you contact
them and see if they will really authenticate both the sconce and
the two shades as genuine Tiffany Studios products. The only
reference to these shades in both the B & B catalog and the
current Ebay listing is that they are "signed LCT". Seller
also points out a reference to a Sotheby sale where a "similar
pair" sold in 2005 for $54,000 for the pair - or $24,000 each
but neglected to point out that this very sconce sold for $4,000 at
the Bonhams & Butterfield auction in 2007. In order to be
considered as genuine, the signature must be genuine. Wonder why? . |

TALE OF THE TURTLEBACK CHAPTER 16
The story continues. This turtleback lamp that is
discussed above has been listed again for the umpteenth time in it's
life and for the second or third time by seller CAPTNJACK210. Just a
week ago some very lucky (seller's pre sale estimate was and is again
$25,000 - $30,000}Ebayer purchased it for just $7300 when it was
110128149469 and it is now listed again as Ebay 110131800767. What
happened to the sale last week? Maybe the buyer did not get the
"condition report" from Sotheby's, whatever that is. E mail
the seller and see if you can get a copy for us. Like the turtle for
which the glass is named, this lamp moves very slowly but just cannot
seem to get to the sold location. There will surely be more chapters
to this lamp |

HARLEY42-
This lamp is currently listed on Ebay and the
seller > |
stated that the fake Tiffany tag has been placed
on this fake shade. "These tags are props and are there to
enhance the lamp". What a wonderful way to enhance a fake
Tiffany lamp. Watch for it to show up again in the future without the comment. |
|
TALE OF THE TURTLEBACK CHAPTER 17
One hour after Chapter 16 was finished, Ebay
closed their book on CAPTNJACK210 by deleting the listing for the
turtleback that just came on today and the seller is now listed as NON
LONGER A REGISTERED USER. This seller will
be replaced and TiffanyFakes.Com will be watching. It will not be too
hard to find the replacement as they keep selling the same lamps.When
will it ever end? |
