India stamps : Are this for Investment ?

Hello,

Let me make sure that I am not writing or certifying that this stamps are forgery. It's up to you to decide when you buy this stamps. I am just doing my comparison (free) of Gandhi stamps so stamp collectors don't get cheated and regret collecting stamps because they pay high price and take pride in their collection and when they find out that they got forgery or cheated they stop collecting stamps. 

I am trying to bring awareness in stamp collecting world so they don't get cheated by eBay or delcampe seller's not only by getting forgery stamps, but also inflating price by shill bidding or not paying to seller and all kind of illegal trading practice. It's up to you to decide it's forgery or facsimile, or value of stamps etc.

Do you think this stamps are for Investment ? or Alternate Investment ?

Now let's see what are chances of recent cover sold on eBay.

1) What do you think about following cancellation : Is it Genuine or Forgery ?

We know lot of first day cover, register cover, used cover are available with forgery and Bogus rubber stamps, so what is chance of following cancellation ? Check following blog post to read about forgered or BOGUS cancellation

2) What do you think about pricing of this cover :  $178 is right price or glorified/inflated price ?

We know that there is lot of shill bidding (bidding with other id or friends/relatives helping seller), buyer not paying to seller is happening in Gandhi stamps of India in order to glorified/inflated Gandhi stamps price.

3) What do you think about bidders bidding this auction ?
