China Dragon stamp - 1897 China old stamp cover - China stamp as investment.

Recently I saw China -1897 Soochow dragon stamp cover was sold for $2350 by eBay seller "micormayotota" from Australia. 

Do you think it's China stamp as investment. ?

Read my previous post about China stamp as investment where you will see how FORGERY rubber stamps are used to make money.

https://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2019/04/china-prc-stamp-1967-mao-stamp-on.html

Lot of money from China stamps of 1897 cover/envelope with China Dragon stamp.

Do anyone collect stamps in 2019?

I don't think so. So why so much money you see spend on stamp.!! ? It's marketing or China stamp so you think it's genuine and lot of rich chinese invest in stamps.

Do you think this is GENUINE ?

Anyone can make rubber stamps as many as they want and different kind and apply on any old used cover.!!

Following blog post has FORGERY rubber stamp applied as CDS. Look at it and think about it.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/05/mauritius-stamps-gandhi-stamps-1969-and.html

Also this China 1987 stamp cover/envelope don't have any China address written on it so it can be used cover from anywhere. (stamp from cover removed from other country.!)

So do you think this is genuine ?

Also do you think there were 35 bids from 14 bidders is also genuine. ?

Chances of SHILL bidding is very high to increase price so you will think lot of buyers are interested in this old stamps from China.!!

Do you think eBay got commission from this transaction ?

Do you think Australia government are getting income tax, sales tax and capital gain tax from China 1897 Soochow Dragon stamp collectible item ?

We had seen lot of forgery in Gandhi stamps issued in 1948 so if this happened in democratic country and no one cares than think what can happen in Chinese Communist Country.!!

This 1897 Soochow China Dragon stamp cover might not be even send from China.!!

My personal opinion or review about this China 1897 Soochow dragon stamp cover envelope is nothing but forgery.

You don't have to believe in my expert opinion same way Expert Stamp Certificate issue from philatelic society such as BPA or RPSL don't take any responsibility even after free money. Here I am giving my free opinion about China Stamp 1987 Soochow Dragon stamp envelope.!

Rich Chinese stamp investment. in China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors stamps

China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors  stamps sold on eBay for $10100 by eBay seller "australia-ox-deals".

Do you think this is genuine stamps ? 

May be not even exist as no one knows what happen in 1962 in communist country so you can print it and sell it.!!

Do you think it's a genuine price ?

SHILL bidding may be possibility as it's easy to open account and start bidding on your own auction.!! or other dealers and collector also increase price as you don't have to pay until you win.

There are 20 bidders and 53 bids (private listing).!!

• Unknown new collector wins then he has to pay and regret it,.
• If other dealer or collector wins he will not pay and seller will cancel transaction so don't have to pay commission to eBay.
• If  SHILL bidder wins he will also not pay and open case with eBay for non payment and don't have to pay commission.

What you see on eBay is not correct price. eBay is not regulated by any government like stock exchange.  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is responsible for any wrong trade or illegal trade or anything like insider trading or fake price on US stock exchange such as Dow or Nasdaq.

So do you think this is

GENUINE priced ?

eBay got commission on this. ?

Australian government got VAT on this as per there new online VAT law ?

Did Australian government got Income Tax and other taxes on this high amount collectible items which might also include capital gain tax. ?

So my personal opinion after following things I saw in last 9+ years in stamp collecting and after writing 700+ blogs

• No one collect stamps anymore.
• SHILL bidding is only way to increase price
• Stamp dealers are looking . for Chinese rich people to invest in stamps.!!
• Forgery, FAKE and BOGUS (never exist) stamps are selling everywhere in order to make money for China & India as there was not much info available.

So my personal opinion is that this is not valued to $10000.!! 

This opinion is like Expert stamp certification who don't take any responsibility even after getting money. 

Here I am giving it free.

If you are rich chinese then you are fooled by some investment advisor to invest in stamp then go for it. It's your money.!!

Let stamp dealer and investment banker become rich and you regret once you know realty.!!

Thanks

GSC.

Note :

China PRC stamps - China Taiwan 1962 Chinese painting Emperors  was sold for $12200 on Jan 13, 2019.!!

15 -18% price reduction in 15 days.!!

with 21 bidders and 82 bids.

Postal History and alternative investment - India 1969 Gandhi stamps and postcard - Is it SHILL bidding ?

Recently I saw India 1969 Gandhi Centenary 10p green post card with error of mis cut sold for $13.50 by ebay seller postal history paradise. from Romania. 

This ebay transaction has 8 bids and  4 bidders, which was won by o***r(2591) and loser is 2***i(799).

Do you think people still collect postal history or stamps in this internet connected world ?

Do you think this is for alternative investment ?

When I did some research on this bidders it was very interesting. Winner o***r(2591) is bidding on 183 items with 461 bids.!!

But more interesting is that # of bids with this seller is 13% which will be about 60 bids.!!

So what do you think about this buyer ?

Really bidding on 183 items and 461 bids ?

My personal opinion about this kind of transaction is SHILL bidding ? Do you agree or disagree ? You don't have to believe in me. Also it's very hard for us to find out whether this is SHILL Bidding or not.

If you are new collector you will not know how to seller and buyer increase price using SHILL bidding.

https://www.cio.com/article/2369962/internet/attn-ebay-users--beware-of--shill-bidders--driving-up-prices.html

But loser 2***i(799) is more interesting.  He/She bidding on 78 items with 506 bids and 27% bid with this seller. That means he/she has 135 bids with this seller only.!!

So what do you think about this Postal History and alternative investment of India 1969 Gandhi stamps and postcard ?

India 1854 stamp - Queen Victoria stamps - QV stamp - World's number one Forgery stamps

India 1854 stamp was sold for $8300 by eBay seller "matthijs_philatelie"  from Belgium.

Do you really think this is very valuable stamp and it is sold for $8300 ?

If you think it's lot of money to be invested in stamp when no one collect stamps anymore.!!

But it's generating money everyone.

• eBay get commission from this transaction (about 10% = $800)
• VAT for EU (about 20 % = $1600)
• PayPal (about 2-3% = $150)
• Belgium government will get Capital Gain TAX on profit (about $1500 - 2000)
• Seller "matthijs_philatelie" will get rest of it (about $5000)

Now do  you think all of them are making (getting) money ?

• What if SHILL bidding happens on this transaction and buyer did not paid to seller ? (In this transaction it looks like it, because bidders are very questionable, but it's very hard to tell.!)
• Seller cancel transaction if buyer did not paid or mutual understanding ?

I had seen lot of SHILL bidding in stamp collection to increase price to look like stamps are

• for Investment
• still there is lot of interest in stamp collection
• to increase price so they can get more money

But to me all this pricing is nothing but FALSE HOPES OF RICHES.!!!

Nobody is making money as I think everything is BOGUS.!!

Also not sure whether stamp is GENUINE because there are more forgery of 1854 stamps than any stamps in the world.!!! (Most FORGERY stamp in world.).

Click following link to read more about 1854 India stamps of Queen Victoria.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/01/india-1854-half-anna-queen-victoria.html

Now let's do see some point to be noted.

• "English India" description does not make sense.
• There were 7 bidders and 34 bids on it.!!

Now let's see 30-Day Summary of bidders and think whether this high price sense.

Look at the # of bids this bidder are trying to bid on # of items.

To me it looks like they are not collectors but traders.!!!

h**m(417)

Total bids:  257

Items bid on:  131

Bid activity (%) with this seller:  42%

i**i (768)

Total bids:  38

Items bid on:  28

Bid activity (%) with this seller:  100%

----> What this indicates ? ( bidder is only bidding with just one seller.!!)

-----> 28 items from one seller only ?

Do you think it's SHILL bidding ?

Following Gandhi stamps, King George stamp, King Edward stamp, Queen Victoria stamp and stamps of China are Forgery stamps selling as Replica or Facsimile or copy.!!

Here forged stamps seller are not making money. They are just selling as forged items so they make money under $5.

But when this forged stamps is sold as GENUINE, by certain dealers they are making tons of money.!! Like we saw $1009 for Gandhi SERVICE stamp and certain high priced items from British India and China.

Following Mao stamps of China are forged stamps, which might be used on covers or might be selling as genuine stamps or as a used stamps. for 100-150 times more.!!

Following are some of the USED or Mint stamp sold for $2000 -$2500!! What do you think it's a Genuine stamps or forged stamps are sold after lot of bidding.!!!

Following are FORGED King George stamps from British India, Bermuda or any other stamps where British ruled till 1940!!

Following are FORGED queen victoria stamps from India as well as other countries. Chances of getting this stamps as Mint or used with different TYPE of cancel are very high.!!

Don't you surprised by all this FORGERY stamps.!!!

I have in my collection too.!! and I don't hope you  have one in your collection too.!!

Following are some forgery blog post I wrote in past.

1911 First Aerial Mail post forgery card (one of the greatest philatelic blunder in forgery) with receiving and sending postmark.

BOGUS forgery cancellation card of 1911 First Aerial Mail from Allahabad.

Even Queen Victoria overprint stamp of Indian state is forged with RPS certificate.!! Now think what happen to FORGER.!! Nothing.!! As no one cares.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/01/rare-stamps-old-stamps-rps-certificate.html

Reprinted label are sold as original 1930 Pre-Independence Gandhi Boycott label!! A philatelic fantasy.!! What a SCAM!!!

FAKE Overprint Cameroun, Nicaragua stamps and FDC!!

Even FAKE Error stamps. (Color faded with sunlight or other chemicals.!!!)

How to create FAKE error stamps 

Why 2009 FAKE or BOGUS (not approved by Germany post) Germany Special Cancellation on October 2nd.? (This makes all 1969 special cancellation questionable!!, because who knows what have happen in 1969.!!). Also don't know up to what stage collector goes to take benefit. !!

Germany FAKE Cancellation with illegal usage of National Emblem 

BIDDERS!! "hitlerandgandhi" just to glorify Gandhi stamps they increase price of 1948 Gandhi FDC and Used covers.!!! (Images are not enough to understand this so read following blog posts.!!)

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 ?

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"!!

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.

FAKE auction buyers or bidders - How to INCREASE price on eBay or online auction

Recently I read news about FAKE buyers increasing price of George Zimmerman Gun.!!

They increase price up to $65000000. 

Yes $65 Million.!!

But here the item is genuine.!! 

In stamp collection FAKE buyers also increase price on FORGERY or BOGUS (never exist or issued) philatelic stamps and covers or register used.envelopes.

By increasing price it's way to show the world it's genuine.

Also Philatelic Handbook will write or print about this BOGUS material and Philatelic Judges will give them award.!!

So BOGUS item is now GENUINE.!!

In past we were able to see who the bidder are so I track it down lot of them.

Click following link to see FAKE auction buyers in Gandhi Stamp Collection as well as India stamp philately.!!

INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED !!

India Stamps - 1948 India Gandhi Stamps are false hope of RICHES?

Increasing price in auction is common practice.

If seller don't increase price it will be sold for very very low price because there are not that many buyers out there who really want that.!!

It's nothing new in any auction including stamp collection. 

Let me tell you that stamp auction price don't go up without FAKE bidding, because it's worthless. 

No one collect stamps but it is to show the world that there is still interest in stamp collection.

It's done by SHILL bidding where seller open multiple accounts and bid on it. (it's free to open account, no credit card needed or real address needed or real country.).

Sometimes their relative and friends help them out to increase price.

If SHILL bidder wins then they cancel the transaction as non paying buyer so seller don't have to pay commission to auction.!!!

Sometimes seller writes good feedback about buyer and buyer will do same thing.!!

Now you will think everything is REAL or GENUINE.!!

But that's not the case.!!

Following is one of the classic example.

Here Gandhi overprint SERVICE stamp is BOGUS (never overprinted) but it is widely famous in Gandhi collection.

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

Stamp collection cheating - Shill Bidding - Fake Bidding - Not Paying to Seller on eBay Auction - Apple Samsung card

Recently I read that Apple employee "Sam Sung" business card was sold for $2200+ but there were Shill Bidding or Fake Bidding up to $80200!!

Following are bidders who bidded for this item but used FAKE bidding to increase price even though all money was going to charity.!!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sam-Sung-Apple-Specialist-Business-Card-Exclusive-Charity-Auction-/121403401377

So what are chances of FAKE bidding or Shill Bidding or Not Paying to seller happening in Gandhi stamp and philatelic material.

I think there are lot of chances.!!

Stamp collection cheating is happening using

• Shill Bidding
• Fake Bidding
• Not Paying to Seller

What I saw in past that this is happening in every Gandhi stamp auction.!! By doing this some collectors and dealers are benefiting by increase price of Gandhi stamps even though stamp collection is declining and no one collect stamps anymore.

What you see in auction price is not real pricing or popularity of stamps but it's false hope of riches by glorifying stamps.!!

Above is BOGUS (never exist) rubber stamp but there are chances of  Stamp collection cheating by Shill Bidding or Fake Bidding  or Not Paying to Seller on eBay Auction  of Gandhi stamps used cover from Lucknow "Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan"

It is selling as "slogan cancellation" or "special cancellation" issued on Gandhi 1st death anniversary on 30 January 1949 which was Sunday.!!

On Sunday all government department including postal department are closed.

So it does not make sense special cancellation was ever issued on that date!!  

This is nothing but BOGUS rubber stamp.!!

But still it sold for $149!!

Do you really think above is genuine price and eBay shareholders are getting benefits of this transaction ?

In past I wrote blog post about this Stamp collection cheating by Shill Bidding or Fake Bidding  or Not Paying to Seller on eBay Auction  of Gandhi stamps used cover from Lucknow "Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan"

Click all of this links and read properly so you will know HOW you are CHEATED in past or How you will be CHEATED in future.!!

STAMP COLLECTION VALUE - SHILL BIDDING

 USA was 2nd country in the world after India to issue Mahatma Gandhi stamp in 1961.

Now if you see following screenshot you will be amazed that this 32 cents stamps on First Day cover is only getting 41 cents after 53+ years.!!!

Looks like no value left in stamp collection.!!

This has also free shipping + eBay fees and Paypal fees.!! So seller will be paying from his own pocket for all this expense.!!!

So what do you think after looking pricing about your stamp collection value.!!!

Does it make sense to collect stamps ?

This stamp was sold by "bargainhunterfriends"  with feedback 25419 and there were 4 bidders and 4 bids.!!!

And eventually won by k***k(3087).

This proves that it has nothing to with feedback of seller or buyer whether they have single digit feedback or 5 digit feedback. Everyone is using it and doing it.!!

Click following link to my blog post to learn about SHILL Bidding and apply to this blog.!!

SHILL bidding on Gandhi stamps

How to INCREASE price on eBay

Shill Bidding and Glorification

As usual I was more curious about lucky buyer for getting this FDC for only 41 cents, so I look at his detail and I was more amazed than any thing else.

Now if you look following screen shot and look at the 30-Day (You can click on bidder and see following detail about bidders). 

You will be surprised after looking at summary of this buyer!

In past 30 days this buyer k***k (3087) 

Total Bids : 1856

Item Bids on : 1616 -----------> different item bid on

Bid activity (%)  with this seller -----------------------------> 98%

If you do math then k***k(3087) bidded(not won) on 1583 items only for this seller only.!!! 

What does this 1500+ bids mean? 

So now my question is do you think stamp collection is this much popular.!!!?

Or this is a SHILL Bidding ?

Do you think any body will try to sell  and take loss.!!!

This is Gandhi stamp collection, were everyone think they are smarter than other.!!! Click one of the following link and you will become smarter.!!

1) Philatelic FAKE and FORGERIES.
