Ebay jokes

[jefflgarrison]

Hey was looking out our favorite eB?y Aussie and notice that he is selling an OG2 without document. The photo of the document page with the numbers has a MM on a rectangle suspension listed after the two OG's and what looks like an ORS #8464.

This has started me thinking that many this guy has gotten hold of some of these "fake" OG1, OG2, OG3's that are being sold and is creating his own group, not from original since he is not selling them as groups but from these fakes.

Guess he is up to around over $1,000 so far for everythign he is selling.

the pics are bad but even the the number engaving looks bad on the OGIII and II

The "Selling some parts of my fathers awards collection" guy has been around for a while, apparently switching IDs regularly and returning to the huge underground vault where his father stored the tons of booty he obtained in his long career.

[Nota Bene]

Looks like his father has collected a lot of fakes.

Alexei,

After looking at your boh collection, :thumbsup I have just noticed the above sellar has another one with historical significance, a possible new highest recorded s/n 1.591 767 listed with doc, and thought this might fit in there nicely

dying with laughter " NOT " :mad:

Hi guys

just to add, if any new collectors read this, go to the above mentioned article on Eb** then make a note of the feedback score of the bidders, then have a look around eb** for russian, soviet, ussr orders, and you will find them. then have a look at there feedback ie who they bought of or sold to and a very nasty pattern will emerge !!!!


BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!!!!!

Nick :thumbsup

Pacha,

Too right. It can't be said too often. Here's a great (and very recent) site that talks about Coin Fraud - Numismatic Fraud - eBay Fraud. Not medals, but the insight into eBay itself is excellent, and a lot of the principals are the same between coins and medals, IMO.

A guy is selling on E a lot of Soviet medals... here is the description AND the picture...

"Soviet medal, 100% original"

Have just read the link you posted, gotta admit I have never seen it before but it hits all the nails on the head, where personally I had to figure it out myself, and i should have mentioned it in my last post but it took a few months to join the dots, when joined, :mad:ohhhhhhhh myyyyy goddddddddd, unbelievable and very clever, which is the scary part.

As for the link you posted pity it's not compulsory on all such sales.:thumbsup


today it was a mini rant,

bless you all,

still smiling

Nick :thumbsup
