Gandhi stamps collection has any value - Stamp selling on eBay

Gandhi Stamps is one of the popular topic in stamp collection or philately.

But do you really think Gandhi Stamps deserve this kind of value?

I don't think it has any value but if you see price on online auction site such as ebay or even on famous physical international auction site it mind blogging.

Reason for it don't deserve value is because

1) It is artificially created by physically auction site as they are looking for their own commission.

2) Online auction site anyone can increase the value and make it like it's in high demand and high value by SHILL bidding. (seller increase price by their other accounts, as it don't require any PII or credit card info to open account).

3) You can list on Ebay at any price as you don't have to pay anything. (no upfront cost).

4) Even seller will buy with other account and don't pay to seller!!! Seller will open case for non paying buyer and Ebay will not charge anything to seller.

Who collects stamps this days!!!

Even older collectors are dieing and they don't spend this kind of money as they know what's going on this Industry(it's not hobby, but to make money by cheating collectors!)

Also there are more FAKE stamps than genuine stamps.

Also there are more FAKE philately material as it's to make RUBBER stamp and apply on any old cover which you find in stamps exhibit.

Following are recently sold stamps from "cooksontour", "scindedawk"etc.

"Are Gandhi Stamps FALSE hope of Riches?"

To understand above quote please read my previous blog post on this series.

1) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?
2) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?
3) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?
4)  All Gandhi stamps!!!

Do you think following Gandhi stamps or philately material still available on ebay  deserve this value!

I don't think so about following high priced Gandhi stamps?

So what do you think?

I wrote this blog post 8 years ago which will open your eye how stamp collection is glorified.

1) By fake buying (to show it's valuable)

2) By creating fake philatelic material and selling at high price.

3) Do you think ebay got commission on all following 2012 stamp auction?

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

You will be seeing that some of the Gandhi 1948 FDC and Used cover are selling at unbelievable price which makes  me curious to dig more into this and trying to aware all collectors.

FDC was sold for $6350  

Do you Really think this is a Genuine price?

Forget price, do you think this is Genuine special cancellation?

I don't think it's a genuine special cancellation, but it forgery.!!!

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p4340.l2565&rt=nc&item=300691868130 

Please look at the following screenshot of expensive Gandhi Philatelic material sold  and you will think, Is Gandhi Stamps are for only RICH people or Is this a real transaction or a way to inflate the price so you will buy same or similar philatelic material it at half price or less thinking you got a great discount.!!

Collectors (Buyer) stay in this hobby if you have following kind of buying power  like ebay buyer "hitlerandgandhi", "blue_guy_1234", "philapragya24" , "echobangla" etc otherwise run away from this hobby and Think Different hobby(it's a game).!!!

Do you really think eBay got commission from this transaction ?

It will be about $2500.!!

Or eBay is also CHEATED by seller not paying commission ?

Click above image to see enlarge copy of it so you can see details.

What do you think about this all expensive Gandhi Philatelic material purchase.?

Collectors (Seller) stay in this hobby only if you have above kind of philatelic material such as from drpokiri(aka stampsniper), akhtarkk, barrydavid2005 etc. 

If you don't have this then learn how to sell it at high price and stay in this hobby(it's a game).!!

Study all buyers and sellers activity and then you can play this game of hobby too.!!

Ebay buyer "hitlerandgandhi" from India bought more than 25000 US Dollars worth of Philatelic material mostly Gandhi in last 30 days.!!

Also in August 2011 he bought some expensive 1948 FDC. Click following link to see what he purchased.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/08/believe-it-or-not-price-of-india-1948.html

I am not sure who is "hitlerandgandhi" but to me he looks like a very rich person!! who is spending this kind of  offical white money openly in public auction market without any fear of goverment because all this transactions are recorded on ebay and paypal and they keeps this kind of information for 7-15 years or more depending on finiancial transaction for any future inquiry.

Do you think "hitlerandgandhi" is really paying for this item?

After looking all the above sold Gandhi Philatelic material,  Do you think 1948 India Gandhi Stamps are false hope of RICHES? I think so.!!

1948 Gandhi stamps FDC from Pondhicherry

Recently 1948 India Gandhi stamp FDC from Pondicherry  sold for $4800 from Singapore ebay seller "straits_collections"

This is forgery as Pondicherry was never part of India until 1963. Before that it was under French rule.

So someone just created RUBBER STAMP and applied on first day cover with stamps(Chance of 10 Rupees Gandhi stamp will be also forgery)

There are more than 50 forgery/fake rubber stamps for Jai Hind  from different Indian cities so beware if you are collecting that.

All are fake (never issued officially by Government of India).

God know what happen in 1948!

Read following blog post so you understand what's going on.

1) Is GANDHI stamp collection hobby a SCAM?

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 ?

Following is from wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Puducherry#The_end_of_the_French_rule

The independence of India in 1947 gave impetus to the union of France's Indian possessions with former British India. An agreement between France and India in 1948 stipulated that the inhabitants of France's Indian possessions would choose their political future. 

The de jure union of French India with the Indian Union did not take place until 1962. On a de facto basis, the bureaucracy had been united with India's on 1 November 1954. It was organized as a Union Territory in 1963. Puducherry is now a part of India.

Sellers description  as Superb Exhibition piece!!

Pondicherry or Puducherry is a city, an urban agglomeration and a municipality in Pondicherry district in the Indian union territory of Puducherry. It is affectionately known as Pondy, and has been officially known by the alternative name Puducherry since 2006.

French influence.

The City of Pondicherry have recorded history after the advent of the Colonial Powers like the Dutch, Portuguese, English and the French. Though nearby places like Arikamedu, Ariyankuppam, Kakayanthoppe, Villianur, Bahur which were annexed by the French East India Company over a period of time and which became the Union Territory of Pondicherry after Independence have history predating the Colonial History.

The French acquired Puducherry in 1674 and held control, with occasional interruption from the British and Dutch, until 1954 (de jure in 1956), when it was incorporated into the Indian Union along with the rest of French India.

But some is buying for $4800!!

It may be Shill bidding(seller may be using other account or some collector is helping to increase price or buying it and not paying to seller. Seller gets commission back  from ebay!)

So beware of Gandhi stamps

1948 India Gandhi Stamp collection research expertising. Investment in stamp collection ?

Following are some of the expensive Gandhi stamps material sold on eBay.

This is for your research before you buy any 1948 Gandhi stamps from India as a stamp investment or as alternative investment other than gold or share/stock or real estate property.

1) Are this genuine 1948 Gandhi stamps on the cover ?

2) Are this genuine Jai Hind special cancellation issued on 15 August 1948 ?(or rubber stamp)

3) Are this genuine CDS (cancellation date stamp) on the cover ?

4) Do you think this are really travelled to destination ?

5) Do you think this are really sold on eBay for this much money ?

6) Do you think eBay as well as PayPal got commission from this transaction?

7) Do you think local government got tax from this selling ?

8) Do you think any government got capital gain tax from this collectible item selling ?

9) and you need to come up with another 92 before you decide !!!

Please read my 700+ blog on Gandhi stamps and you have to decide because it's your money you will be investing.!

But my personal opinion (my certificate of stamp expertise) is all of this is FAKE or Forgery.!! It's my personal opinion as everyone opinion differ.

But my opinion is free not like BPA or RPLS where they charge money and they don't take any responsibility or liability even after issuing certificate.

What is stamp Expertising or stamp authentication?

Above eBay 8-9 transaction are $10000.!! for piece of paper.!!

Do you really think some one is spending this kind of money on 1948 India Gandhi stamp collection or philatelic hobby.

No one is collecting anything right now as no one has time because of lot of other activities in the world such as surfing on internet, watching Netflix or youtube or social media like facebook or tiktok or even watching TV and Movies and on top of that people are watching cricket or soccer or other sports.

But someone is buying it as per this transaction which is good for ebay(get commission 10%) and paypal (2-3%) and California and USA Federal Tax from capital gain tax on collectible items  or seller's country from where they are selling.

Also buyer country residence will get local tax where buyer reside as eBay as to collect tax.!!

Do you think all of them are getting money from this.? To me it will be about $2000 to $4000 depending on countries.

It's hard to tell as majority of stamp collection transaction are fake (never processed through) as buyer do SHILL bidding (bidding with other id) or friend will buy it for them and they cancel transaction.!!

But if you see on eBay there are lot of Gandhi stamps are sold and currently available.!!

And you might be thinking this selling price is genuine.?

So do your research as it's very easy to make this kind of postal cover as it only required some old postal envelope and rubber stamps.!!

Very easy way to make money on eBay or any other live auction or online auction by famous auction house.

So think before you invest in stamp.!!

I will never invest in stamp as alternative investment as there is no law or legal entity control's it.

Also there are very few investor to buy.

So stick with Gold or Share/Stocks or Real estate property.!!

Again it's your money.!!! so you can burn how ever you want to burn.

Thanks

No one is collecting anything right now as no one has time because of lot of other activities in the world such as surfing on internet, watching Netflix or youtube or social media like facebook or tiktok or even watching TV and Movies and on top of that people are watching cricket or soccer or other sports.

But someone is buying it as per this transaction which is good for ebay(get commission 10%) and paypal (2-3%) and California and USA Federal Tax from capital gain tax on collectible items as well as local tax where buyer reside.

If you have money and want to waste it then buy it.!! It's your money how you spend it.!!

So what do you think.

Are you going to buy Gandhi stamps ?

Forgery 1948 Gandhi Stamps First Day Cover from India with RPSL expert stamp certificate

Recently I saw on eBay INDIA 1948 GANDHI FIRST DAY COVER WITH NEW DELHI CANCELLATION, RPSL CERT. selling for $5000 by eBay seller "cmcstamps" from California but item is located outside USA.!!! Not sure this tax invasion or money laundering.!!

In past I wrote about Forgery and FAKE (not exist) CDS rubber stamp from different cities of India with 1948 Gandhi stamps FDC or cover.

Also I wrote about Forgery stamps of Gandhi issued in 1948 including SPECIMEN stamps and OVERPRINT SERVICE stamps.

But now I can see FORGERY FIRST DAY COVER also.

After looking in depth to me it looks like FORGERY. (don't have to . believe my opinion like expert certificate).

Reason for FORGERY is that First Day Cover (envelope) is misprinted.!!

I is missing in INDIAN.

But it still passed through Royal Philatelic Society Limited RPSL certificate committee. So who is right ?

Me or RPSL cert committee. ?

It's up to you to believe as it's your money.!!

Believe in yourself and decide whether it make sense to invest in Gandhi Stamps.?

My opinion about Gandhi stamp collection is nothing by overhyped by Stamp auctioneer and stamp dealers(collectors) by writing Handbook or by providing FAKE (never exist) philatelic material to Handbook.

You cannot even trust Handbook as you have to believe in yourself.

NOT SURE RPSL CERTIFICATE IS ALSO FORGERY ?

YOU NEED TO DECIDE.!!

IN PAST WE HAD SEEN LOT OF FORGERY EXPERT CERTIFICATE NOT ONLY FROM RPSL OR BPA BUT ANY EXPERT.

ALSO ANYONE CAN GIVE EXPERT CERTIFICATE AS THERE IS NO LEGAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT IN ANY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD WHO MONITOR THIS CERTIFICATE.

TO ME EXPERT CERT. IS TO MAKE YOU FOOL.!!

Even First day covers without stamps are selling for $40.

Which also looks FORGERY.

So avoid Gandhi Stamp collection otherwise you will regret all your life. (Like me.!!)

Thanks

Online Gandhi stamp exhibit - Forgery in India stamps collection

One of the biggest forgery in stamp history is for 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

Not only that one of the biggest SHILL bidding and FAKE bidding in collectible on eBay and other auction sites also happens in 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

But Gandhi stamp is also highly glorified by some of the smartest and richest collector by Online Gandhi stamp exhibit or in stamp exhibition or by giving speech in embassy etc.

If you see online gandhi stamp or gandhi philately exhibition you will understand how much forgery or FAKE collectibles are there.

Even Gandhi handbook has nothing but FAKE gandhi FDC or used covers or even fake stamps are printed in that.

Following is one the link which will make you surprised about FORGERY going on in 1948 India Gandhi stamps collection and Gandhi philatelic material.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/02/gandhi-stamps-and-1948-jai-hind-special.html

Now you can add one more in that.

Recently I saw Gandhi Private FDC selling on eBay for $399 by seller 'cmcstamps" from California!! Lot of money. You can buy 8-10 gms of Gold with that money.!!

Compare following rubber stamp or special cancellation with a one selling by ebay seller "cmcstamps" and you will see the difference.

Following are also forgery.!!

Also you can search for online exhibit and you will find lot of this kind of forgery and fake 1948 India Gandhi philatelic material. So search for it and get educated.

So what do you think about this Online Gandhi stamp exhibit - Forgery in India stamps collection  ?

Making money on stamp collection hobby or collectibles hobby by selling on eBay

 Recently I saw India 1948 Gandhi Service  used 26 JAN 1950 PRESIDENT’S CAMP P.O. selling for $1900 by ebay seller  "alphaomegaphilately" from India.

But as per my research this Gandhi Service stamp never made officially by Indian Post but it was ART OF MAKING MONEY by some famous collectors during that time.!! Read my blog post and think with your own brain after reading all about this Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/07/overprint-stamps-1948-gandhi-service.html

This is forgery as nothing was actually happened but it is marketed as unique and rare by online exhibit as well as philatelic handbook and even bloggers.

Date 26 Jan 1950 is India Republic day and this India President Post office was open!!

My personal opinion (like expert Certification) you don't have to believe me.

THIS IS NOTHING BUT FORGERY.

If only one is sold seller will hit fortune.!! $1900 for piece of paper.!! You can buy Gold Coin with this money and still save about $600!!

Is stamp collection is still hobby ?

Can you believe someone will cut this from the envelope or cover ?

Don't you think Rubber stamp is easy to make and apply on any piece of paper. ?

See other Gandhi Service stamp forgery with Governor General Post Office.
