After looking recent selling on eBay it looks like Gandhi 1948 FDC from India are selling at good price.
Do you believe that price are correct by just looking selling price ?
Do you think this is genuine transaction ?
Do you think this are genuine FDC with genuine stamps and special cancellation ?
- I had seen lot of Forgery stamps selling as genuine
- I had seen lot of Forgery of special cancellation from Bombay, Delhi, Madras etc.
- I had seen lot of FAKE (never exist or issued) special cancellation from different cities of India.!!
Do you think FAKE bidding like
- seller using other id to bid
- inflated by other collectors
- buyer did not paid after winning it.
- Do you think # of bidders & bids on each transactions are real.!!
Do you think eBay and Paypal are getting commission on this transaction ?
- seller can open eBay case for no payment by buyer, so seller don't have to pay any listing fees as well as commission.
- any eBay member can increase price by just bidding it even they don't have any balance in their account.
- it's simple for buyer just don't pay.
Now let's consider all of the following transaction is genuine.
- Do seller paid VAT for Europe or India ?
- Do seller paid Federal tax, state tax or any local tax to there respective countries.?
- It's lot of money for government as just 7 item were sold for $10000.!!
It will be very hard to find all this details so we will not know it's genuine stamps, genuine seller, genuine buyer, genuine transaction etc.
So BEWARE what are you investing.
To me stamp hobby is DEAD. No one is investing but after looking following transaction worth of $10000 from just seven auction item and # of bidders it looks like lot of interest in it.
