Error stamps collection - India 1992 Bird Error stamp with BPA Expert Cert.

We know how easy is to print stamp with modern printing press as well as photo copy or even latest computer printers.

So any error stamps or overprint stamps are easily printed and with latest cutting equipment you can perforated the stamps also.

Following is one of the example  of India 1992 Bird Error stamp which is called as "Error of Century stamp"!! selling by "bc-empire1" was also known as  "almah999" or "pennytopound1" from Taiwan which is selling for $5250.!!

eBay seller "bc-empire1" was selling this India 1992 error stamp with his previous id "almah999" in 2014.  Looks like he own a lot.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2014/09/rare-indian-stamp-india-bird-stamp-rare.html

Also it has BPA Certificate (piece of paper without contact address  so how to contact them with postal mail!!).

Do you really think this is GENUINE stamp ?

My FREE personal opinion is this FORGERY. (You don't have to believe in me same way as BPA expert cert as they also don't take any liability even after paying.!!)

INDIAN PHILATELY EXPOSED !!

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

I think with this blog post I am now 100% sure that something big (glorification/high praise) is going in 1948 Gandhi Stamps in Indian Philately. 

Following screenshot is just winning bids by "hitlerandgandhi" starting from March 17 and ending on April 15 totalling about $25,000 (Yes, Twenty Five thousand US dollars.!!), not including this used Private FDC with regular cancellation of Kotagiri.!! was sold for $3575.!!

But recently(after 50 days of auction ended) I saw a feedback for Australian seller "simrenzo1" mentioned in his feedback for "hitlerandgandhi" that "Would not deal with this buyer again, no communication or payment made.Bad news" 

This means that buyer did not paid for this highly INFLATED Gandhi Private FDC. Now I am not sure whether "hitlerandgandhi" paid for any of the above item he bought for $25000.!! 

I am not sure whether eBay Unpaid item case was opened or not, but my guess is no case was opened other wise you cannot write feedback.!! 

Also why wait 50 days to write feedback as eBay/PayPal only gives 45 days for any dispute.  Did eBay return all commission to seller on this sale? (Great loss for eBay shareholders!!)

This means that Buyer did not paid $3575 !! Don't you think this is glorification of this cover with Gandhi Stamps.!! (Makes you think Gandhi Philatelic material is RED HOT, value increases faster then any other thematic collection, Rich Indian and NRI are investing in stamps, investment needs to diversify, one of the best thematic collection like George Washington etc.)

My personal opinion for price for this cover is not more than $50.!! (I will not buy it for $5 also.!!, because it's private FDC and chance of FORGERY is very very high). It has nothing interesting on the this philatelic private FDC cover. I also question postal cancellation on this FDC. I always avoid private FDC since I bought Gandhi Private FDC with Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation. 

I am always curious about Authenticity of Private FDC/Used cover because they are made as per demand and sometimes with Forgery/FAKE cancellation as NO Official Indian Post Cachet is required.!!

By increasing price and not buying is to Glorified of Gandhi stamps so more new collector will think it's a way to invest in Gandhi Stamps and Philately and specially any thing with  1948 Gandhi Stamps from India.

Following is the in-depth detail analysis how this cover was bidded to $3575 by only 5 bidders and 11 bids who bidded from 99 cents to $3575.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It will be easy on delcampe.net to see who bidded and I don't have to do this)

Auction starts on Apr 28@20:41
1) p***S(1898) [melbournestamps] from Australia bidded $100 on Apr 28@21:01(20 min of starting.!!)
2) d***1(190) [hitlerandgandhi] from India bidded $3000 on Apr 29
3) e***0(private) bidded $1002 on Apr 29
4) t***e(7) bidded 1052 on May 3
5) p***S(1898) [melbournestamps] bidded $1500, $1600, $1900 on May 3
6) a***p(5810) [alphaomegaphilately] from India bidded $2400, $2650, $3525 on May 4
7) d***1(190) [hitlerandgandhi] bidded $3575 on May 4
8) WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BID!!!!!!!!!!!
Auction ends on May 5

Now DON'T pay to seller.!!

DON'T THINK YOU CAN MAKE MONEY ON INDIAN GANDHI PHILATELY BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH WHAT YOU SEE. IT'S ALL INFLATED TO LOOK GOOD AND YOU MIGHT BUY IT AT 1/3 OR 1/6 CURRENT PRICE.

Do you think Gandhi Philately is Exposed of inflated price.?

Do you think eBay lost money in this transaction, which will affect eBay Shareholders, so eBay needs to investigate this kind of transaction with all aspects including bidders, IP & MAC address of computers bidding on this, PayPal transaction etc in order to increase shareholder value as well as future.

I was initially thinking eBay/PayPal was making money on Gandhi Stamps and Philately material but now it looks like eBay/PayPal is not only loosing commission on this kind of transaction(250$-350$) but they are also taking loss of providing space to handle this transaction which are very expensive server, storage network bandwidth, application and other things to make online transaction possible. This is not good at all for eBay Shareholders.


As you know that in March/April 2012 a bidder "hitlerandgandhi" on ebay was bidding very high and bought $25000+ Indian Philately material including Gandhi. So eBay should get $2000-3000 comission on this purchases.!! I think someone needs investigate in depth all purchases made by "hitlerandgandhi" otherwise it's not good for eBay Shareholders.!!

My other favorites blog post about " GANDHI STAMPS ARE FALSE HOPES OF RICHES ? "
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) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?
5) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover :  Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?

Glorification of Gandhi stamps is not only just by increasing price but also by creating unique FAKE 1948 used covers and FDC with Gandhi stamps such as from Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation, Bombay R.M.S cancellation, Pondicherry etc, creating FAKE Germany cancellation and make it unique/rare and all kind of things you ever dream about having it.

Also not sure whether to sell my eBay stock because of all kind of FAKE activity in Gandhi Philately. I bet this will be case also for Indian Stamps, British Indian Stamp, Aerial Philately and all other collections also including coins.

This is not first time I am seeing this. In past I saw Gandhi SERVICE stamp sold for $907 was not paid.!! Read my blog post. (Any thing Gandhi is RED HOT).

Also this happens to me  also 3 years ago when I was buying Cameroun Gandhi FDC.!! FAKE bidder "ansur" overbidded me and did not paid.!! Read my previous blog post (How stamp dealer increase price).

So it's nothing new in Gandhi Philately to Glorified Gandhi Stamps.!!!!!!

Now do you also think Indian Philately is Exposed.!! Please comments your thoughts.

I am not sure about you but I am 100% sure it's all Glorified/FAKE/Inflated/Cheating etc. in 1948 Indian Gandhi Stamps as well as all other Gandhi Stamps from 90+ countries so BEWARE!!

We had seen this in  Gandhi stamp collection, were everyone think they are smarter than other.!!!

Gandhi SERVICE Stamp : Anything Gandhi is RED HOT ?

Hello Gandhi Stamp Collectors,

In my all previous post I mentioned about 1948 Gandhi Stamps, FDC and Used cover pricing which are INFLATED (falsely overpriced).

On eBay you might have seen 1948 Gandhi philately selling at very high price such as (click following link to see)
$8600/8500 for 1948 Gandhi FDC with 4 stamps,
$6350 for 1948 FDC with 3 stamps of Gandhi,
$6100 for error date from India on 1948 Gandhi Stamp

This blog post will make you understand why I think it looks like lot all kind of FAKE activity going on to make it RED HOT!! 

Please read my following blog post in order to understand properly about today's blog post.
Gandhi Service stamp : How one can tell it's REAL or FAKE overprint stamp ?

Following screenshot is from Feb 16th which shows that Gandhi SERVICE stamp price was sold from Australian seller "asfj58"for $907.!! Now back in Feburary you might be thinking that WOW!!

Following screenshot is from June 15th which shows that Gandhi SERVICE stamp price was sold for $124!! Now you will be saying OMG!! So what happen!!

Seller Description " This stamp was in London in the 1960's and I did not pay much for it! It looks very good - the spacing -size of lettering etc BUT -Please note it is sold 'AS IS' - study scan carefully before bidding as  NO Guarantee provided. So bid carefully.I sold this stamp previously, however the buyer got carried away in the bidding & wanting to own it- but  never paid up!!"

Also seller don't Guarantee this SERVICE Overprint is Genuine (He also thinks it's FAKE!!) and some buyer is willing to pay $124!! (sold "AS IS" and no return!!). Also 10 other bidders bid on this stamp!!

As per seller previous buyer did not pay $907.!!! So eBay/PayPal did not get any money!! as they have to refund seller.!!

Now in June buyer might be thinking WOW!! for getting this stamp at very low price.(700% less than February.!!)

So what do you think.!!

Do you think previous buyer was not aware of what's going in GANDHI stamps & FDC world and paid $907!!? Or it's a SCAM.!!

Now keeping above scenario think this might be case in 8600$ FDC or 6350$ FDC (resold twice! at 1/3rd price!!),  Error used cover and all other 1948 FDC, Used Covers, FAKE FDC/Covers and Stamps.

Do you think this kind of increasing price value of GANDHI philately material by previous buyer or other bidders to make Gandhi Philately RED HOT!!!

Again thanks for reading and  please share your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks

1948 Gandhi Stamps : Are false hope of RICHES? - Part - II

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

All of you are aware of  amazing things happening  in Gandhi Stamps and Philately world with lot of FAKE, Forgery, Shill bidding, etc this is one more example of it.

You can read my previous blog post   "1948 Gandhi Stamps are false hope of RICHES?" about following FDC which will give you more understanding about this blog.

Last month I bought a very expensive ($2000) register 1948 India Gandhi FDC from delcampe  to do some research as same  register FDC was sold 2 days ago on ebay for $6350.

I asked some question to seller and wrote blog post about this FDC, and before I even think about paying this seller closed the store on delcampe.!!

This FDC has same Register Label # which was sold on ebay auction today.

Don't you think Register label should be different # ? so is it FAKE or it's ERROR or it's a way of selling in Gandhi Philatelic as well as other pre-independence British India Philatelic material.!!

This register FDC has every thing similar including stamps, address, register label # and CDS has same date and same place on FDC!!. Only difference is seller's country. One is from France(delcampe) and other is from Australia(ebay).

Also on delcampe it was at Fixed price where as on ebay it was on auction which were active at same time.!!

I bought it from declampe and ebay FDC was bought by "hitlerandgandhi" for $6350.

Following is my purchase for $2050 (in Fixed Price Auction) from seller in France who is member of delcampe since April 13, 2012 (only 1 day ago!!) and 22 feedback!!!

http://stamps.delcampe.net/page/item/id,0169320254,language,E.html

Following is purchased by "hitlerandgandhi" for $6350 (3 times of my value.!! in auction)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item4602a1c9e2&item=300691868130&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_
0&rt=nc&si=J65hCkwjMxKV0RDUUrxakpauuwQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_500wt_1413 

Now let's see who are top 3 bidders who bidded 44 bids.

Following finding are not at all illegal activity. All this information is available to public by just putting extra effort without illegally entering ebay servers or snooping ebay networks. Anyone can get this information (It is like looking things in public and using smartness what's going on.!!). There is no privacy invasion as it easily available by advance ebay search.!! without using spycam or password hacking or entering anyone personal computer.!!!

1) hitlerandgandhi  (d***i (188))
2) drpokiri (i***1 (327))
3) boba_boba_boba (o***b (35))

Click above 3 links and see what is going on and try to figure out what it is and why it is and understand carefully about pricing, bidding etc.

I am not sure whether ebay transaction is a Genuine or something else.  Do you think it is really bought and sold.?

I don't think this FDC should be more than $100 or 200 or 300.!! So what do you think about this FDC pricing and transaction.?

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

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.!!

India Stamps : Gandhi Stamps Khadi Indipex : Look where is pricing of Gandhi stamps after one year.!!! Another example of Collapse in Stamp collecting hobby.!!!

2/25/2012

By Ketankumar Patel.

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

In January I wrote blog post about Collapse in Stamp Collection and I think this blog post will further strengthen your view on that. If you don't have read my previous blog post about collapse in stamp collection then following is the link.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/01/togo-gandhi-stamps-collapse-of-stamp.html

One year ago India issued 100,000 (One Lakh or Hundred thousand or 0.1 million) Gandhi stamp on  Khadi(Cotton Cloth) with presentation folder. It was sold only in presentation folder for 250 Rupees ($5 appr.) and actual stamp value is 100 Rupees ($2 appr.)

Recently this presenatation folder with khadi stamp (including presenatation folder) was  sold for under $3.50.!!

One year ago stamp collectors were eager to get this Khadi stamp in a presentation folder, thinking value of this stamp will increase tremendously like 10 Rupees 1948 Gandhi stamp, but if you see current price of this folder then you will surprised that what's going in philately hobby. 

Following screenshot will give you idea what kind of hype was one year ago to get this stamp.

http://www.sify.com/news/khadi-stamp-on-mahatma-gandhi-huge-crowdpuller-at-postal-expo-news-national-lcmr4dfcagi.html

Now after one year it is selling under face value.!! for 2.20 UK Pounds ($3.49)

Do you think price of this folder will ever appreciate as there is huge quantity in stock with all collectors thinking that price of this stamp will appreciate like 1948  10 Rupees stamp.!!

Look at following screen shot and you can't beleive that 3 Gandhi Khadi Presentation folder with Khadi Stamp in a sheet sold only  $2.38, $3.17 and $3.49.!! where as face value of this was $5 in 2011.!!!

Recently I saw large quantity of this khadi stamp in presentation folder for sale for $6.!! Can't believe it.  Not sure whether it will still reduce but looking to world wide trend in stamp collection hobby and 100,000 khadi stamp issued I think chances are it will go BELOW face value by 20-40% because it will be smart to sell it at lower price and invest some other item where margin will be higher and quantity will be less.

Also you will see large quantity of this presentation folder is available for sale in wholesale (17 & 22 pieces).!! In past I had also seen 100 pieces for sale!!

Now you decide where value of this stamp will go.!!

What are your feelings about pricing of this MS + Presentation folder. 

After reading this blog post and looking to following screen shot of recently sold Gandhi stamps from Suriname, Morocco, Syria, Bhutan, Egypt and Grenada don't you think stamp collection hobby is already collapsed.!!

From above screenshot you can see Gandhi stamps are selling for under $1.!! after 40+ years. It looks like no one is interested.!!

No one is even buying this beautiful sheet issued by Mauritius with 6 stamps of Gandhi  in 1969 for under 99 cents.!!

Again thanks for reading and  please share your thoughts in the comments section
