new fake sellers added to list
« on: June 24, 2017, 02:57:34 PM »
I just added these fake sellers to the fake seller’s list

I will update this topic as I add more.

maybe sellers with other eBay identities, as some of the backgrounds look familiar.

one from the UK   galipetko0

one from Bulgaria  peioni-1

still adding them as I find them.

last week I added alex_numismatic_group

http://www.ebay.com/usr/alex_numismatic_group

this guy is from Serbia and his real name is Aleksandar Ejić. He lists a lot of common LRB's which are genuine, but also lists a lot of fakes -- see the well-known fake Crispus below.

today I added sherpa350

http://www.ebay.com/usr/sherpa350

this guy may not knowingly sell fakes, as he seems to sell a lot of different stuff, like world coins and stamps. I have added him just in case. The Otho below is a well documented fake he just sold.

a crook from Spain  david.cardiff*

https://www.ebay.com/usr/david.cardiff*

selling a bunch of fakes. Below are an Otho and Laelianus  "Muy Buena"

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I have added this person to the fake seller list because he seems to be claiming to have found this "coin" while metal detecting. He sells mainly artifacts and jewelry though.


"great unresearched roman coin metal detecting detector finds"

Going back to your post of 18 April, if I had a pound for every time I've seen that silver denarius of Julius Caesar with the elephant reverse for sale in mint condition on ebay, I'd be a wealthy man by now.

Fortunately, many of these fakes are offered so many times it gets easy to spot them.
