eBay, Selling, Buying and Issues.

[marcotk]

I have brought several items from this seller and have had them researched and all has came back without any issue, which for me is great. he often offers me documented groups and i use some one else to do a record check for me if I am unsure which answers any questions in regards to a docuemnted group. all the medals I have brought from him are all genuine which again is good for me. I think if he is not sure he tends to list his items in a way that you can make your own mind up as I dont think he tries to decieve people, but thats just my opinion. He has offered me at the moment a OGIII, and 2 red star group with full research, so I am looking at that as I have to date not had a bad experence with him

Hi fellows

I think there are two main fakes' trends going on as of now:

1. Bunch of original orders with a fake Order Booklet that is disproved by research (too bad most of the times the research is not performed...)
   
2. An original group is looked up in the archives, a bunch of orders are *made* (one could say *customized*) to fit. The buyer who trusts the research never gets the orders looked up by an authenticator..who would clearly spots modified s/n or s/n and order variant mismatches... you can see how the story ends.
   

Thus, do trust the research, but also do have your orders checked..
