Stamp Collection Price is Declining - CHEATERS are moving away from Gandhi Collection.!! Cameroun stamps of Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Kenndy.

It looks like CHEATERS are not trying to increase price anymore.!!

I saw Cameroun stamps collection price of Gandhi FDC, MLK FDC and Kenddy FDC and it was sold for $31.!!!

Looks like no one is interested in Gandhi Stamp collection because no one collect stamps any more after all CHEATING is EXPOSED about value of stamp, FAKE stamp sold as genuine and even BOGUS stamps (Gandhi SERVICE) are selling as genuine.!!

I wrote about my experience about bidding on this Cameroun FDC when a biggest CHEATER of all time in Gandhi Collection was increasing price.

Following is the link to read more about how I was cheated.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/12/cameroun-gandhi-stamps-fdc-how-some.html

According to me almost every Gandhi stamp collector is trying to increase price or involved in it or they are aware of Cheating going in Gandhi stamp collection.

So now look at the details and think how you will be not cheated.!!

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

When you are collecting stamps you need to be very careful other wise your stamp collection will be nightmare.!!!

I am sharing my own experience (of course of nightmare) so you don't get one in your stamp collection.

You can apply this in any thematic stamp collection when you buy it on eBay or any other auction site online or offline in auction house for your stamp collecting need.

Stamp collection is declining and stamp value is not even maintaining catalog stamp value. But it's dealers and seller try to increase price so they can get more value when they sell it.!!!

This is one of the famous auction where dealers used their dirty tricks to outbid new collectors and than trying to sell their.!!

As you can see from following screenshot that winner of this auction is "Khel10ka". 

He opened new delcampe id just to increase the bid on this item and eventually outbid me and won the auction. But think what he did not paid for this.!!!

Following is the feedback from seller about buyer "Khel10ka"

French to English translation of his feedback 

"no one, attention this person is without interest, refuses the questions, to avoid----------"

Now let's see how dealers/resellers play tricks with you.

Now if you see following screenshot you will get some idea what happen.

Khel10ka started bidding from 153.40 to 190.20 Euros and he won and I lost.!! But "Khel10ka" did not paid.!!! and in this way he increased the price of this FDC and makes it difficult for new Gandhi collectors.

Now if you see "Anusur" started bidding from 125.20 Euros till 153.00.  To me it looks like "Anusur" and "Khel10ka" are same bidders. Also "kad_ss" was trying to sell me Cameroun FDC for 190 Euros.!! 

So now you need you think what happen in this.?

Now if you see above screen shot you will see all dealers/resellers  trying to bidding on this FDC because some of them are or might be also selling this Cameroun FDC.!!

Here there are actually 3-4 bidders but they are using multiple id in order to increase price.!!! This is common practice in Gandhi Philately by certain dealers and resellers.!!

Now you need to decide how to buy , from whom to buy etc when you start collecting Gandhi Philatelic material other wise you will be paying very high price like me.!! So BEWARE !!

Eventually seller sold me this FDC for 120 Euros.!!! Yes I bought it at very high price because of this kind of greedy dealers.!!

I hope this kind of blog post about my experience will help you to understand how to protect yourself in Gandhi Philately.

As I mentioned in my previous blog posts about this FDC is not rare and price is dropping and lot of shill bidding to sell this FDC. So avoid it by thinking as a piece of paper.

I can keep my mouth shut about this and I can join with them to increase my value, but I choose other option to publish this and make everyone aware of this so no other Gandhi collectors is cheated.!!!

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

Cameroun Moon Landing overprint stamps on Martin Luther king and Kennedy stamps - STAMP COLLECTION IS ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY.!!

In past I wrote about ERROR stamps, which are not actual error but purposely made for ERROR.!!

One of the famous error stamp is from Cameroun which was overprinted to make it error by overprinting about MOON LANDING on Gandhi, M.L.King, (M.L.K) and Kennedy stamp issued in 1968 and overprinting in 1969.!!

Even though it's is consider error stamp we can see this stamp widely used for postage.

My opinion about this Error stamp is nothing but overprinted to increase value.!!

How can someone are so dumb/foolish who will overprint on this stamps. It cannot be consider as ERROR stamp (but biggest SCAM).

Just buy some sheet and overprint it and start sending postal cover by making forged rubber stamp like we see it in Gandhi SERVICE stamp.!!

It's all about making MONEY and nothing about stamp collection.!!

This cover were send to brothers who were stamp dealers J.H.Stolow  (Julius & Henry) r as well as stamp Expertiser who issue certificate.

J.H. Stolow also was involved with bogus stamp issues for the The Republic of South Maluku.!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Stolow

Recently I saw two used cover with Gandhi stamps, Kennedy stamps, M.L.King stamps with overprint Moon Landing on it sold for $135 from eBay seller "gdstamps".

But if you compare this auction with previous auction the price has gone down.( From 456, $300 to $135).

Also # of bidders has also gone done (just one)

Also starting price came up instead of starting at minimum price of 99 cents.!! (so they don't have to do SHILL bidding in order to increase price.!!)

Do you think eBay shareholder's are getting benefit from this kind of transaction where they will get about $27 (10% of $270) from commission ?

It is also mentioned in Gandhi Handbook as Optd. stamps on Regd Commerical Cover.

We know we cannot trust Gandhi Handbook as there is lot of false and misguided information in it.

Look at above image and see how many types of ERRORS were made.!! (Thick, Thin, Inverted..................)

In past I wrote about this cover

Why Cameroun Commerically Used Covers is costly? -Gandhi stamps overprinting.

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


Following cover was sold for $250+ (US dollars) with John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy stamps with Gandhi stamps (one in front and other in  back).

I am not sure why they did this overprinting instead of making a new stamp?


Following cover was sold for $450+ (US dollars) with Martin Luther King(one in front and other in  back)  stamps with Gandhi stamps in front.

Did you notice from above images that this covers has RUBBER stamp from different cities.? Yaounde, Douala,

So now question is

Do you think one bidder really bought this  covers  even though I wrote about this?

Don't you think people search web in order to get it kind of used cover ?

You can compare RUBBER stamps on this cover and decide what's going on with stamp collection ?

It's all about making money.!!

Someone will make money by writing.

Someone will make money by overprinting stamps

Someone will make money by creating bogus covers.

Thanks

Martin Luther King stamps - Gabon Stamps : Does any one wants to collect stamps ?

Not sure were stamp collection is heading, because I see every day low price or stamps are not selling at all and prices are coming down everyday.

Looks like stamp collection hobby is over and my questions is "Does any one wants to collect stamps?"

Recently I saw Gabon stamps from 1969 Martin Luther King stamps and Mahatma Gandhi stamps first day cover  which was sold for $5.!!!

After 44+ years and one of the 2 famous people stamp on this FDC does not bring any value.!!

After looking to this value to me it looks like no one wants to collect stamps in this modern world, because there are lot of others things to do, such as play video games on ipad, xbox, gamecube or on internet surf on web or facebook or lot of other outdoor activity such a hiking, skating, running etc or watch different shows on TV or sports games such as Cricket or Football or Basketball or just talking on smartphone or chating.!!

After all this kind of things you don't get any more extra time to pursue your hobby of stamp collection were not that many people are involved and you feel like retard when you talk to friends.!!

So what do you think about this Martin Luther King Stamps ?

Also there are lot of cheating such as Forgery stamps, Shill bidding, BOGUS philatelic material  involved in stamps collection.

Dominica Human Rights Stamps : Dominica Gandhi stamp with Taj Mahal , Martin Luther King stamp with Capitol Hill, Albert Einstein Stamp with Glockenspeif, Eleanor Roosevelt Stamp with White House value is declining !!

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Human rights are "commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being." Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and international law. (From : Wikipedia)

Lot of countries has issued stamps for human rights activists such as Gandhi, MLK, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Abhram Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and lot of other human right person who fought for human rights.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, intended as “as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations.” It consists of a preamble and 30 articles setting forth the basic civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights and fundamental freedoms that all human beings in every country should enjoy. The declaration’s provisions are considered to carry the weight of international law because they are so widely accepted and used as a yardstick for measuring the conduct of states.

In 1988 Dominica issued miniature sheet of $5 (East Caribbeann Dollar) to celebrate 40th Anniversary of human rights (1948 -1988) with picture of Gandhi, MLK, Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein.

Don't know what to do with Taj Mahal and Gandhi.!!!

Looks like there  is no interest in stamps even though Mahatma Gandhi is in this miniature sheet. Only one bidder !!

Reason for such a low value is

1) This sheets were printed to make money by printers and dealers so widely available.
2) Stamp hobby is declining and very less new collector collect MLK, Eleanor Roosvelt and even Einstein.!!
3) Even no new collectors for thematic collection like  Human Rights.

So please make sure about pricing before you buy. If you don't then in future you will regret because there is lot of shill bidding going on to increase pricing when dealer sells this kind of stamps.!!

Do you think stamps are still for investment.?

Don't you think that is there any Genuine GANDHI philatelic material ever issued.!!! Most of the Gandhi stamps were issued in 1969 and during that time there were very less collectors so it is not enough for current needs of collectors.

Also I think because of recent popularity of Gandhi stamps there is a huge demand of it  so dealers and resellers (even printers) are trying to take benefit by issuing FAKE and Forgery material of some never issued stamps, FDC or Used Covers including Register Covers so Beware before you enter in to Gandhi Philately collection.!!

I was surprised when I saw this stamp sheet sold under US $5.!! (East Caribbean Dollar is pegged to the United States dollar since 1976 and the exchange rate is US$1 = EC$2.70) Now if you compare $1.00 in 1981 had the same buying power as $2.54 in 2011 after calculating inflation. So current value of this stamp should be 12.7 US dollar.!!

This indicates stamp value is not appreciating at all.!! and it's declining.!!
