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.

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

This lamp is currently listed
on Ebay and the seller stated that
the fake Tiffany tag has
|
been placed on this fakeshade.
"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?
