British India Stamps King Edward stamps from eBay seller anglo-indian-affairs

Recently I saw British India stamp of King Edward sold for $2100 with 40 bids on this auction. This was sold by "anglo-indian-affairs" from United Kingdom.

This is not first time I am seeing this stamp selling in Mint condition which is . more than 109 years old but still comes in lot of quantity.

According to my knowledge there has been more than 30 stamps of King Edward 1909 stamp  were sold by this seller in last 5 years.!!

But I had also seen forgery stamps also selling by seller from Russia or Taiwan for under $5.!!! It's very hard to differentiate between this stamps sold for $1000+ or $5.!!

Looks like eBay is making lot of commission from UK eBay seller "anglo-indian-affairs"

I did more research on British India stamps sold by "anglo-indian-affairs" and I was surprised by amount of money flowing in British India stamps.!!

Can't believe it's REAL.!!!

In last 3 months only "anglo-indian-affairs" has sold more than 2600+ stamps or stamps related material which are with mostly British India stamps.

After looking 2600+ stamp selling from just one eBay seller " anglo-indian-affairs" Do you think stamp collection is still a hobby?

Lot of money for UK and Euro from GST.!!

But some of them to me looks like FORGERY.!! Yes Forgery as you know almost all British India stamp is forged specially high amount value (25 Rupees stamp) and others.

Look at India 1909 King Edward stamp sold for $2172. You can see my previous blog post about this stamp and you decide what's going on King Edward stamp.!!

Now do you think all this 2500+ eBay transaction are GENUINE.!!

I am not talking about GENUINE stamp. I am just talking about eBay Auction Transaction.?

Did all 2500+ transaction was genuine where seller paid all his dues to eBay, PayPal, UK or Euro GST and paid all Capital Gain Tax as per UK tax rules.

If it is paid then it's good for eBay shareholders as well as PayPal (Disclosure : I am paypal shareholder) and UK government got lot of money from GST.!!

14000+ US dollar only from 13-14 auction only.!! Want to check all 2600+ ebay auction sold by anglo-indian-affairs then click following link.

eBay seller "anglo-indian-affairs" auction sold.

So what do you think ?

Is 2600+ eBay transactions are genuine ?

Is British India stamps are in demands.!! ?

If you see above screenshot it looks like there were multiple bids on each of the stamps which were sold.?

Do you think there is SHILL bidding on this ?

Following is FORGERY selling under $10.




Do you think there will be better quality of this FORGERY stamp selling ?

Anglo-Indian-Affairs sold India EDVII 1909 SG147 25r stamps.

In past I wrote about King Edward 1909 stamp from India with 25 Rupees face value.

This King Edward 1909 stamp is available in plenty as REPRINT stamp from X-soviet union countries under $5.

What are chances of this stamp selling as Genuine.!!

Also consider 25 Rupees was lot of money in 1909 for any Indian people and to keep it in Mint condition for 100+ years in good condition is very rare unless you are from King's/Queen family.

In past REPLICA stamps were sold for $8-9. Don't you think it's easy to sell it for $1600 by SHILL BIDDING.!!

Recently India EDVII stamp issued in 1909 with (Stanley Gibbons # 147) SG147 of 25 Rupees stamp was sold for $1600.!!

Now did Ango-Indian_Affairs really sold this stamp ?

      * might not got money from buyer after winning it.!! (ebay will give refund to commission to seller)

Did it really sold ?

     * Did eBay got commission ?

Did UK government got tax ?

     * If it is sold then UK government should get TAX as capital gain tax.

Did UK government got VAT ?

     * If it is sold then UK government should get VAT.


My personal opinion(freedom of speech) about this transaction is

• It's a Replica stamp
• It was not sold for $1600 even you can see it on eBay.
• No commission to eBay
• No payment made. (Paypal did not get any commission).
• No Capital Gain Tax to UK government.
• No VAT paid.

What is your opinion ?

Rare stamps - Expensive stamps - 1909 stamps - 25 Rupees rp stamps - 25 rs stamp - ROUND-TRIPPING IN GANDHI STAMPS COLLECTION ?

Round-tripping, also known as round-trip transactions or "Lazy Susans", is defined by The Wall Street Journal, as a form of barter that involves a company selling "an unused asset to another company while at the same time agreeing to buy back the same or similar assets at about the same price." 

Round trips are characteristic of the New Economy companies. They played a crucial part in temporarily inflating the market capitalization of energy traders such as Enron, CMS Energy, Reliant Energy, and Dynegy. (From wikipedia)

Do you think ROUND-TRIPPING is happening in Gandhi stamps collection? 

I think so.!!

It's not only Gandhi stamps but also all British India stamps including King Edward stamps, King George stamps, Queen Victoria stamps  and all other expensive stamps, were stamp sellers either SHILL bidding using their other id or help from friends eBay accounts.

In today's world there is nothing like RARE stamps or expensive stamps or hard to find stamps, because you can print that rare stamps with latest modern printing technology equipment with very very little difference which is hard to notice.!!

Also there is great push for stamps as investment and in which new collectors don't know about this kind of activities and get piece of paper instead of genuine stamps.!!

Usually rare stamps are the one which were very expensive to collect at that time. If you are not aware of forgery or replica stamps then you are screwed, because rare stamps don't come for sale on eBay as no collector who has genuine wants to sell.

If you read that I am selling my grandfather stamp collection or grandmother stamp collection, majority of it's all bogus, just trying to make fool to you.!!

Recently I saw 25 Rupees  - 25 rp King Edward stamps from India issued in 1909. Now if you think 25 Rupees 25 rp were lot of money at that time and who was going to use that stamps.!!

Now when you see used stamp they are generally made from forgery or replica stamps with forgery  rubber stamp, so you might think it's genuine used stamp.!!

Generally this kind of rare stamps or expensive stamps are made by one or two collectors turn dealers, with multiple eBay accounts, so you think it is sold by wide range of  eBay sellers from different countries.!! But that's not the case.!!

Also sometimes this kind of activity is done with help of others eBay member who sells stuff for you and you pay them certain commission.

I had seen all this activities by Gandhi stamp sellers as well as other stamps.!!

This rare stamps were for sale by  eBay member since 2012 "bemortenson2012" from Denmark for $700+. Don't you think this is expensive stamps and it's tempting to make this kind of stamps and make money.!!

In past "Bemortenson2012" bought this rare stamps of King Edward from "tw123tw" of Taiwan for $1300+.Click following link to read it and understand what's happening.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/08/british-india-expensive-stamps-k-ed.html

It's like buying and selling from each other.!!

Another way to make you fool is that by writing very little about this stamps, so you don't find any information when you search or ask someone.!!

Here "bemortensen2012" is only mention "1909 25 rp £ 1300 - hard to find" "1909 25 rp £ 1300 - hardest stamp to find"

In past I wrote following blog post about this rare stamps - expensive stamps of King Edward stamp - KED stamps issued in 1909 with  value of 25 rupees - 25 rp of

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/10/king-edward-stamp.html

So now what do you think about 

1) Seller "bemortenson2012" 

2) Is it rare stamps (rare to find)?

3) Is it expensive stamps ?

You have to pay so you have to decide whether this is really "Hardest stamp to find" or "RARE stamps" or "Expensive stamps".!!
