British India Queen Victoria stamps - Why I stop collecting used covers or special covers or special cancellation !!

Once collecting stamp was king of hobby but now it's nothing but HOW to make MONEY  by making forgery or BOGUS used stamp covers or special stamp covers or special cancellation cover !!

Following is a great example of British India Queen Victoria stamp. If seller don't mention it than some one will think it's a genuine cover.!!

Also you can get EXPERTISING CERTIFICATE from anyone.( I can provide expertising certificate that this as genuine cover.!!)

This was made by using any old cover after affixing stamp and applying rubber stamp (forged).

Or

All rubber stamps are forgery or bogus (don't exist) as we don't know what kinds of rubber stamp were used.

And that's why I stop collecting  used covers or special covers or special cancellation !!

British India Queen Victoria stamps used on cover was sold for $16.

British India Queen Victoria stamps used on cover with different rubber stamps.!!

Looks all rubber stamps are bogus.!!

Don't it look like British India First Air Mail cover from Allahabad.

Following BOGUS special cancellation cover was made in 2009 which even won a medal in stamp exhibition.!!

2) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?

3) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?

4) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?

5) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?

6) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover :  Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?

7) Indian Philately EXPOSED ?

I am not expert and I am in this hobby for 4 years only so you don't have to believe me or trust me. But you can think about it. There are more experts with 20-30-40-50 years sitting around with stamp hobby and there are expertizing certificate which might help you.

If you don't want to go through all this don't think as Investment and think as "Philately Greed" and you will be SAFE.

I think collector, dealers, seller, forger will do anything for money such as making BOGUS cancellation from Winnenden to celebrate non-violence for school shooting or plane crash cover, forged 1948 stamps,  Nepal Indian Embassy cancellation, Gandhi SERVICE stamp with forged Sunday cancellation, letter reaching after 2 years or reaching in 3 days from India to France by removing stamps and black ink of rubber stamp etc.

It's nothing new. In stamp collection it has been going on 160+ years since Penny Black. But counterfeit or forgery is going on since 700 B.C. ( 2500+ years).

Don't you think it's a "PHILATELIC GREED"!!

Read some of interesting blog post to see how CHEATERS are working to get your money by selling forgery or Bogus gandhi stamps.!!

1) Philatelic FAKE and FORGERIES.
2) FAKE AERO PHILATELY Covers.
3) Stamp collection CHEATING.
4) Stamp Collection Value
5) Stamp Collecting Facts
6) China stamp collection value.
7) First AirMail Post
8) World First Flight Cover
9) Greatest Stamp Collection Scandal 
10) Biggest stamp collection SCAM
11) SCANDAL in stamp collection 
12) How to increase stamp collection value

And because of this I stop collecting  used covers or special covers or special cancellation !!

Don't you think it's now your turn to stop collecting  used covers or special covers or special cancellation !!

Special Cover - Centenary Year of Mahatma Gandhi's Return to India

Do you think special cover makes any importance in your stamp collection ?

I think it's nothing but useless collectibles because it's a special cover to MAKE MONEY.!! for philatelic society or association and dealers who wants to sell it on internet and philatelic.

Recently India post issue miniature sheet with 2 stamps of Mahatma Gandhi to celebrate Centenary Year of Mahatma Gandhi's Return to India.

Also FDC was issued by Post & Telegraph department of India with this stamps.

But what surprise me is the SPECIAL cover issued by various philatelic association.!!

Look at following Special Cover issued to celebrate Centenary Year of Mahatma Gandhi's Return to India (1915 - 2015).

But does it make sense to collect.!!

This covers are selling for than $5-$10 on eBay as well from philatelic association. This cover cost less than $1 to make so it's a good return on investment.

So what do you think about Special Cover - Centenary Year of Mahatma Gandhi's Return to India ?

Does it make sense to collect SPECIAL cover ?

Thanks

Cameroun Apôtres de la Paix 1er jour à - Apostle of Peace stamps

Stamp Collection value is going down because there are not enough new collectors are coming specially in Gandhi stamp collection. 

I bought Cameroun Apôtres de la Paix 1er jour à - Apostle of Peace FDC for more than $150 in which I was cheated by some famous Gandhi Stamp collectors. 

Do you think famous Gandhi STAMPS collectors are involved in CHEATING ?

I think so because they are the one who exhibit their collection with all kinds of forgery or BOGUS philatelic material without proper research!!

Also Gandhi Philatelist (stamp collectors) will win medal with BOGUS Gandhi philatelic materials, so not only Gandhi Philatelist are CHEATERS, but also the philatelic judges don't know what they are doing.!!

Read following blog post and understand properly so it don't happen to you.!

Cameroun Gandhi Stamps FDC : How some stamp dealers increase price and makes difficult for new Gandhi collectors - Part 3 ?

But on top of that if any new collectors (hardly) are coming than they know all trade secret from my blog posts (more than 600) about How to CHEAT or How to know who are CHEATERS who are trying to get your money by

• Shill Bidding (read following blog post or above blog post)
• Increasing price and not paying to seller. (read following blog post)

INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED !!

Cameroun Gandhi Stamps First Day Cover : It's looks like a BUBBLE in Cameroun Gandhi Stamps!!


So what do you think about Cameroun Apôtres de la Paix 1er jour à - Apostle of Peace Gandhi stamps pricing ?

Does it make sense to collect it ?

In past when I was searching on eBay India online auction website for my research "How to cheat new collectors", "How to glorify stamps"  and I was surprised when I saw price of Gandhiji stamps.!!

I was surprised because it's one of the method which is used to CHEAT new collectors.!!

It's a combine effort to justify stamp as investment by

1) Stamp collectors will exhibit Forged and Bogus philatelic material which they will make philatelic judges to consider as RARE stamps. ( in stamp show as well as online)

2) They will medal with BOGUS (never exist) philatelic material, because it's RARE stamps as per philatelic judges (who are also collectors.!!)

3) Philatelic handbook, website, blogs, stamp forum,  stamp newsletter, stamp boards etc will help to glorify it, by praising it.

4) Now same stamp collectors and their friends will sell philatelic material, with forged expertise certificate.!!

5) But now they will increase price (unbelievable high) by SHILL bidding by themselves opening new id or help of relatives (son/daughter living/studying abroad in Australia or New Zealand or USA) or philatelic friend who will help them to collect money, ship stamps etc.

6) Write FAKE feedback on online auction about seller and buyer.!!, even though they don't pay commission to eBay or Paypal (Great loss to  eBay shareholders.!!)

7) Investment advisior or Financial analyst will brag about stamps selling price and it's appreciation and advice client as alternate investment to wealthy Indian and Chinese.!!

8) Even local real auction house also gets involved in this, because  they only do this for living.!!

9) New collector is trap.!!!!!!!!! Everyone makes MONEY on you and have a good living.!!

10) Now some sellers will contact new collectors and try to give advice  to buy some forged philatelic material and also try to sell there stuff in private.!!

So BEWARE before you jump into.!!

It's easy to make forgery stamps, forgery rubber stamps and applied on any old cover or letter etc, and no one will notice that's it's forgery.

And if you notice it will be hard for you to complain, because no government cares about this forgery.!!

This is not only in Gandhi stamps but it's happening for any expensive philatelic material which are rare, but mostly in British India Philatelic.

1) First Aerial Mail from Allahabad
2) King Edward KD stamps of India
3) 1854 Queen Victoria QV stamps
4) King George KG stamps

If you see following screenshot than this are the 3 most expensive stamps of Gandhiji, listed on eBay India, but actually it's nothing but overpriced item by eBay seller which is to so the world that this are indeed genuine price.!!

Click link to see REAL time  : http://www.ebay.in/sch/Stamps-/169977/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=gandhiji&_pppn=r1&scp=ce0&_rdc=1

So what do you think about this pricing ?

I think Cameroun Gandhiji FDC should not be more than 3000 Rupees.!!, but it is listed for 30,000 Rupees which is ten times the price.

Click following link to learn more about Cameroun Gandhi FDC and how they increase price and cheat new collectors.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/01/cameroon-stamps.html

But more surprising is following item.

If you don't know about pricing of Gandhi stamps and read in some investment website about stamp collection as investment and it's appreciation than you will buy it at very high price and after that there is nothing but regret of cheating.

But by listing at very high price, it's one way to make new collector think that this are real expensive and new collector will buy it when they get it at 1/3 price.!!

But still it's a rip off pricing because it's actual price is 1/10th.!! So in this way new collector will be cheated.!!

But I think they will not get cheated after reading my blog posts about Gandhiji stamps.!!

And of course cheaters will regret my blog.!!

Want to know more cheating then read my other blog posts and you will be not get cheated in your lifetime, not only in stamps and philatelic collection, but anywhere in the world.!!

Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs

Recently I saw  Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs of Gandhi (2 sheets) from Cameroun was sold for $82 by eBay seller "gdstamps" from Canada.

I am surprised after looking to price of this  Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs  sold by "gdstamps" because in modern days no one collects stamps and value is declining like never seen before.

But on Delcampe.net this  Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs were sold for only $17 and on eBay it sold for more than 5 times.!!

There were 3 different auction on delcampe.net of  Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs  of Gandhi from Cameroun all were sold for $17 to delcampe buyer "marketing50", "N-Phila" and "Daktikat".

So why on eBay it was sold for $82?

Don't collector look on Delcampe or don't know ?

( I think collectors know about it if they are buying stamps from internet for more than 6 months).

Or it's harder to increase price on Delcampe as buyer id can been seen ?

There were only one  bidder on each delcampe auctions but on eBay there were 3 bidders and 7 bids.!!

On eBay it's harder to find who are bidding on items where as on delcampe  bidders  id are viewable by all.

So less chance of cheating such as SHILL bidding. It can still happen but collector can figured it out.!!

So what do you think about this  Epreuve de luxe - Deluxe Stamp Sheet Proofs  stamp pricing ?

Does it make sense to collect it ?

But more surprising is following item.

This auction is for 100 Gandhiji stamps and it's asking price is 25000 Rupees.!! According to me it's not worth even 2000 Rupees, because this 100 stamps of Gandhiji are not worth that much.!!

If you don't know about pricing of Gandhi stamps and read in some investment website about stamp collection as investment and it's appreciation than you will buy it at very high price and after that there is nothing but regret of cheating.

How to INCREASE price of your stamps on eBay - Stamp Collection is nothing but CHEATING

Days of stamps collection are now history.

Currently stamp collection is nothing but CHEATING.!!

CHEATING is done by buyer or seller or dealer in order to increase price and glorify stamp collection that it has still value left in stamp collection.!!

But in reality stamp collection is dying in this high tech world.!!

CHEATING is done by

• SHILL bidding
• FORGERY are selling as genuine.
• BOGUS (never exist) philatelic material as glorified in stamp Handbook, Philatelic magazine, blogs, website, stamp forum, stamp boards etc.
• AUCTION house are also involved with Finacial analyst to bring new buyers.

It's easy to increase price in auction whether it's online or live auction.

It does not take any money to open an account or to bid on any auction without having a single dime in your pocket.!! Also you can open as many account you want and bid with it.!!

So it's easy to increase price by not paying to seller if you win.!!

Recently I saw eBay buyer "lateststamps29" from India did not paid $94 to seller after winning auction of 1948 Gandhi stamps of India.

Seller has to go through all the difficulties and have to relist again and was sold for $70.!! Lose in value to seller as well as eBay shareholder by not getting commission on $24 and also wasting eBay infrastructure.(Disclaimer : I am a eBay shareholder).

Not sure whether seller got $70 also or not.!!

Now look at the following and you will understand what eBay buyer is doing and will know how to INCREASE price of your stamps on eBay and also you will know it's nothing but CHEATING.

• Bidding on 316 items.!!
• # of bids are 407.
• Gave lot of negative feedback to seller.!!

So now what do you think ?

Can you increase price on eBay ?

Do you think  stamp collection is nothing but CHEATING ?

Thanks

India Used Stamps

Recently I saw India used stamp (set of 4) sold for $158.!!

I cannot believe this pricing of this India Used Stamps  because mint stamps are selling at lower price than this stamps of  India.

But on top of that FORGERY of stamps of India  are available in plenty in India Used Stamps so do you think stamp value is genuine.!

So don't you think it's possible that forgery stamp with forged G.P.O rubber stamp on this India Used Stamps ?

We had seen lot of forgery rubber stamp on Gandhi stamps from 1948 to 2009 on various philatelic material so don't you think chances are very high  on this kind of stamp.?

Also do you think eBay got commission from eBay seller since 1999  "maikinpdx" on this stamp transaction and eBay shareholders (Disclaimer : I am eBay shareholder) like me are also benefit from this transaction as eBay will get $20-25 without giving anything.!!

Now let's dissect this transaction.

• There were 11 bidders
• There were 43 bids.
• Won by buyer a***0 (7)with only 7 feedback.!
• Buyer a***0 is bidding has 106 bid in last 30 days and 20% are with seller.!!

But interesting thing I found out that one of the bidder on this item has 207 BID RETRACTION in 6 months.!!!

Do you think this is genuine transaction ? or just increasing the price ?

If win than RETRACT the bid.!!

Now if you see following screenshot were this same set were sold for 1/2 the  price but it's MINT stamps not used..!!

Also there we multiple bidders and more than 10+ bids.!!

So which is more valuable.!!

Mint or Used ?

Do you think all this selling value is REAL ?

I mean Genuine value ?

Forget stamp as Genuine, I am talking about all this bids and bidder ?

It's you have to decide.

I just gave something to think.!!

Thanks
GSC
