How to make money on eBay - Selling stamps

Recently I saw 1948 Gandhi FDC sold for $1700 by eBay seller "peter_se26" based in UK since 2002.

Item is located in Spain.!!

There were 44 bids on this Gandhi FDC.

Do you think stamp collection is this much popular in this modern age where no one collects anything because of lot of other things to do such as facebook/twitter/instagram/snapchat/youtube, surfing internet on mobile phone and more.

But there were 11 bidders who were interested in this stamp collection.!!

Do you think eBay got commission on this transaction ?

What are chances of

• buyer might have not paid to seller.

Do you think this is really worth $1700 ?

What are chances of

• FAKE bidding by other stamp collect to increase price ?
• Shill bidding by friends, relatives ?
• Shill bidding by seller by opening another eBay id ?

All are the possibilities when you sell on eBay so you cannot decide pricing based on selling price and you can't think that stamps are good investment.!!

Also do you think all government taxes like VAT/capital tax/income & local taxes etc are/will be paid for this eBay selling.?

So BEWARE of stamp collection.

There is lot of cheating going in stamp collection to show that there is lot of interest in it. Also lot of Forgery and BOGUS stamps related items are selling.

India stamp used aboard - India 1901 queen victoria stamp used in Busrah Iraq - Do you trust Philatelic Handbook or Stamp Yearbook ?

Making money on eBay is very easy by selling stamps philatelic material such as used cover or imperforate stamps.

Following is one of the example of used cover  which was sold for $125 by USA eBay seller "cmcstamps"

This is India 1901 cover from Busrah Iraq to France redirected to India used abroad.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS ?

• Stamp of British India
• Used in Iraq
• Send to France
• Redirected to India.!!

That too in 1901 and selling in 2016 from USA.!!

Do you think it's genuine or forgery or BOGUS ?

My opinion is it's Forgery or BOGUS(never exist) ?

Don't you think it's easy to make this kind of unique cover as rubber stamp are easy to make and who know whether this exist in 1901 or not.!!

Also you can forged similar rubber stamp from Philatelic Handbook or stamp yearbook as it's very easy to make.!!

That's why I don't believe or like Philatelic Handbook or stamp yearbook as it is nothing but collection or forgery or BOGUS material.

Philatelic Handbook or stamp yearbook are to authenticate Forgery stamps in to genuine or BOGUS in to genuine stamps or philatelic material such as rubber stamp or imperforate stamps.

Also no government is going to put you in jail for forged rubber stamp.!!

India stamp used aboard - India 1901 queen victoria stamp used in Busrah Iraq

So BEWARE when you try to collect unique philatelic material as chances of forgery or BOGUS is very high.

What do you think about this India stamp used aboard - India 1901 queen victoria stamp used in Busrah Iraq ??

Imperforate stamps - 1973 Gandhi Nehru stamp

India 1973 Gandhi and Nehru Imperforate stamp is currently selling for 1400 UK pounds from ebay seller "zeboose".

If this is genuine imperforate stamps then it is stolen from Government of India Postal archives as this should not be available to public. 

This are colour trial so it should not be sold.!!

But  to me this looks like photocopy from stamp Gandhi Handbook or some other philatelic material.

Imperforate stamps are mostly forgery or Bogus (never exist) but to make money  by creating unique stamp.!!

This is one of the way you can make money by creating photo copy and sell it as genuine stamp.!!

So BEWARE of Imperforate stamps.!!

Thanks

B.P.A Expertising Certificate - INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " BPA CERT FORGERY or Genuine ?

You all know from my previous blog post that all this Expertising certificate has no value because they don't take any responsibility.!!

They don't take any liability if their opinion is wrong.!!

They only give opinion like me.!! ( After comparining with other India Birds of Prey stamp to me it looks like forgery.!! I have added past auction so you can compare yourself !)

So what all this means. ?

That if you buy forgery item with expert certificate you don't get any money back.!!

Recently I saw B.P.A Expertising Certificate of  India 1992 Birds of Prey stamp, " ERROR OF CENTURY " selling for $15000.!!

In past I saw this kind of forgery of    INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " selling for $1!!

But without B.P.A Expertising Certificate

This B.P.A Expertising Certificate don't have any contact information such as office address, phone #, registration # with country etc..!!

Also no logo on this B.P.A Expertising Certificate.

So how can you believe this kind of B.P.A Expertising Certificate is genuine.

If you compare you will think it's forgery stamp.

Even forgery of expertising certificate are done.

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/2014/12/royal-philatelic-society-expert.html

Even you can create your own. ( no formal education needed to be expert.!! anyone can be Expertiser). Like me.

http://uspaexpertising.blogspot.com/2014/04/what-is-stamp-expertising.html

So now how can you believe this B.P.A Expertising Certificate -  INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " is genuine.

It's selling from $15000 by ebay seller "alman999" from Taiwan.!!

How this stamp reach to Taiwan ? . Don't you think it should be from India.!!

Do you think it's stolen from India Post & Telegraph printing press of it's FORGERY ?

Do you really think it's selling from Taiwan or someone open account with FAKE country location.!!

Following are other auction in past of India error stamp 1992 Birds of Prey from "posthedge" , "vivistamp2009", "kemiflygirl113", "alman999".

Do you think all of them paid Capital Gain Tax, USA Federal Income Tax (Taiwan) , State Tax (California and Illinois), Local Sales Tax etc on following sale ?

Or it's a FAKE transaction ?

So what do you think about this B.P.A Expertising Certificate -  INDIA 1992 BIRDS of PREY, " ERROR OF CENTURY " BPA CERT. ?

Making money on eBay - by selling stamps

We all know how to make money by working hard and loyal to our customer. 

But after internet arrival greed of making money is more than ever because of wide market and easy to change or open new business (ebay ID) and start selling again.

Following are two 1948 Gandhi 10 Rupees stamps with sheet number and one of them is REPLICA.

It's very hard if seller don't mentioned this.!!

Can you tell ?

Let see example of following stamp of India.  This 1948 Gandhi 10 Rupees stamps with sheet number is selling for $1400 by eBay seller "alphaomegaphilately" from India.

But what are chances of this stamp as FORGERY  (Replica or Facsmile or copy).  It will be very hard if you don't know what's going in stamp collection.

10 Rupees was lot of money in 1948 and just to keep it in mint condition it will be very hard for regular collector (think how many were collector in 1948 after just 1 year of independence).

Now compare this  1948 Gandhi 10 Rupees stamps with sheet number with REPLICA stamp available and you decide how easy is to make money on eBay.

Replica is selling under $10 and you can make  $1400 if someone buys this stamp.!!

So don't you think you can make money on eBay.

Buy replica (forgery) stamp for $10 and sell it for $1400 as genuine.!!

Who cares about selling forgery or making forgery on eBay or even auction houses.!!

Everyone wants to make money.!!

So do you think the stamp selling for $1400 is FORGERY ?

How to Invest in Stamps ?

Do you want to Invest in stamps ?

I think after reading my my previous two blog post about Stamp Investment you will never collect philatelic stamp material as well as stamps because you will get idea that you will be CHEATED.!!

Following are two blog post which can help you to avoid Invest in stamps.

Investing in Stamps - King Edward VII British India 

Stamp Investing - It's Cheating!!

Make sure you read above two blog post before you continue blog post so you will get idea.

Now will you Invest in Stamps ?

I think NO.!!

But if you still don't believe that stamp investment is not cheating then let's see one more example of Gandhi Memorial stamps issued in 1948 by India.

Following is First day cancellation rubber stamp applied on Gandhi Memorial stamps and to me it looks like possible forgery.!!

This special cancellation is applied on Mahatma Gandhi Memorial stamp issued in 1948 and made it as private or personal FDC. (not official issued FDC by post and telegraph).

This cover is selling for $1000 by eBay seller "rohit98103"

If you compare this rubber stamp selling by eBay seller "rohit98103" than it does not match with other BOMBAY G.P.O cancellation.!!

But it's easy way to make money.!!

If you sell Gandhi stamps no one is going to buy it but if you sell as Gandhi philatelic material than you offer it for $1000.

Now let's talk about this special cancellation.

Special cancellation is nothing but rubber stamp and it can be easily made by anyone.

There are more than 500 FORGED rubber stamps exist in Gandhi stamps which are used on Gandhi philatelic material.

Following are FAMOUS FORGERY RUBBER STAMPS USED in PHILATELIC and STAMP COLLECTION so it's not hard to make any regular rubber stamp.

Collectors don't care about humanity or people value to make money.  Following Germany philatelic rubber stamp was made to celebrate Non violence day where 16 high school kids were killed.!!

If it was genuine then it will make sense but local collectors created BOGUS (not officially issued).!

What is Tibet 1949 register cover with 1948 Gandhi stamps without stamps from Tibet and Indian Embassy of Nepal?

FAKE 1948 Indian Embassy of Nepal cancellation and Independence day of India  

Forged 1948 Gandhi FDC with Indian Embassy of Nepal cancellation!!

Forged 1948 Gandhi Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation  

FORGED India 1948 Gandhi stamps FDC!!

FAKE 1948 Gandhi  stamps "JAI HIND" Cancellation

OVERPRINT stamp issue from Cameroun, Nicragua & Togo. Does not make sense at all someone printing on stamp by mistake. This is delibrate act.

FAKE Overprint Cameroun, Nicaragua stamps and FDC!! 

Also 1979 - 1980 wrong year printing with UNICEF, Olympics, Einstein , TajMahal. It's nothing but a SCAM to make money by making false assumption of RARE!!

Now this O.H.M.S philatelic cover was for auction starting at $69,000 or 50,000 Euros.!!! It's a one of the most expensive stamp collection item.!!

O.M.G!! Don't you think you just need one of this cover (expensive stamp) so you can live your whole life easily!!! It's almost 40+ Lakh rupees Indian money (40,00,000 Rupees or 4 million Rs.!!)

Rare Indian Stamps. Below is rare Indian stamps used on cover if genuine.!! This is  among the most scarce and rare Indian stamps available on market.!!

But to me it looks like rare FORGERY Indian stamp!! To more authentic maker of this cover wrote Registered + Airmail and also receiving date and time.!!!

Also Register label is just a piece of paper printed with R 186.!!

But amazing thing is that blue ink rubber stamp of C. Rajagopalachari without any title such as Governor General of India.!!

You can make one and try to make money.!! (Just Kidding.!!)

Want to learn "HOW TO MAKE MONEY USING INTERNET" or expensive stamp collection item then read following three blog post so you will be expert in making money and also making expensive stamps.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/12/india-1948-commercial-used-cover-how-to.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/12/king-george-stamps-post-card-kgv-stamps.html
http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/12/rarities-india-1854-stamp-queen.html

To me it's nothing but forgery to make and feel like it's genuine without thinking whether it make sense to write O.H.M.S.!!

So what do you think about this cover ? Is it official cover or just a big forgery.!! ?

To me it looks like a big time forgery !!

Now see following screenshot and you decide that this are really used Gandhi SERVICE stamps.

There is nothing RARE or Scare in philately because this hobby is in downward trend because experienced collectors are loosing interest because value is not appreciating and new collectors are not coming in to this because there are lot of other things to do for them such as playing video games on Nintendo or X-box , social networking on facebook or google+ or  surfing on web through internet or SMS through iphone or android or watch games such as cricket, football or basketball.!!

Only way philately can sustain is to stop cheating in this hobby. Yes CHEATING.!! which is what you will see in order to increase value artificially by inflating the price by SHILL bidding, not paying to seller or mutual understanding cancelling transaction and lot more.

Following is the large quantity(very rare!!) currently for sale!! In past 6 months I had seen more than 30 for sale!!

Out of which I found interesting. I saw two Gandhi SERVICE stamps with KGVI on a piece of paper with Governor General Camp P.O. (Click this link to see it on delcampe) and it's starting price is 3000 Euros.!!!

Yes 3000 Euros.!!!

But I noticed that date of cancellation on that piece of paper is 15 May 1949 which was SUNDAY.

* Do any one know Governor General was working on SUNDAY in 1949 ?

* Do any one know Governor office (post office / camp p.o) was open on SUNDAY in 1949?

* How can you tell that this piece of paper is from Offical Cover  as it is mentioned in description.?

* Did you notice that King George Stamp is regular stamp ? SERVICE overprint is missing? Is it Error.!! (No there was also regular stamps of King George.!!)

* Don't you think collector or receiver or maker of this piece on paper don't know the value of this.!!! You can see 1 or 2 or 3 on piece of paper but not 30+ in last 2-3 months.

* Don't you think it's easy to make this kind of rubber stamp?

What do you think about this Gandhi SERVICE stamp with Governor General PO date stamp?

FAKE or FORGED ?

I think your guess will be mine.!!

We all had seen FAKE stamp of 1948 India GANDHI SERVICE for all kind of value!!

So now do you think it's above Governor-General cancellation GENUINE ? or FAKE (just piece of paper) ?

This is how to make money in Philatelic.!! Use Mint stamps worth $5 and make $4000!! by creating this kind of material.!!

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

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?
6) Maxi Card sold for $5100 with 1948 Gandhi Stamps - False hope of Riches - Part VI?
7) Indian Philately Exposed 
8) Indian Philately Exposed - Part II
9) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Philatelic Stamp investing is nothing but PIECE OF PAPER with rubber stamp.!!

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!!

Thanks

Stamp Investment - It's Cheating .!!

All the time we read about Investment in stamps or stamps are hot investment or Gandhi stamps are hot, most valuable stamp of India etc, but it's nothing but trying to make you fool.!!

It's a marketing technique in which auction house, dealers and stamp collectors are involved in order to MAKE MONEY by selling you FORGERY or BOGUS material.

Collectors will display forgery material in their exhibit, dealers and auction house will increase price by shill bidding in order to make it authenticity of philatelic material and authors of stamp and philatelic Handbooks will glorify this FORGED stamps in order to market their material.

So everyone is involved and now they need your money.!!

It's a GAME.!!

On top of that you will find Expertising Certificate from any one.!! As any one can give expertising certificate as no government rules or regulation apply like FDA or SEBI or SEC etc.

Expertising certificate is nothing but printed on paper and do it your self. (with false name and address also).!!

Recently on eBay I saw 1948 stamps of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial issue with first day cancellation on private cover (not official issued).

This was on sale for $500.!!! by eBay seller bgtonde from India.  It's lot of money.!!

If you just sell stamp then you will not get more than $2-3, but you can make more money if you affix this stamp on any cover and apply FORGED rubber stamp.!!

Yes, it's easy to make rubber stamp (forgery). 

Now look at the following First day cancellation from BOMBAY G.P.O  and compare with other forgery and genuine rubber stamp and you decide what I am talking about.

I am not telling you that this is forged but I am telling you compare and decide your self. (Self Expertising.!!).

What to SELF study ?

1) G.P.O missing on Simla, Nagpur and Shillong. WHY ? ( Genuine or BOGUS or Forgery)
2) Alphabet type and size : Shillong, Delhi, New Delhi
3) Shapes of special cancellation (Madras)
4) Is it AUG or AUGUST.
5) Compare lines and size inside the cancellation
6) Compare Hindi languague alphabet "जय हिन्द"
7) All kinds of different things you can think and compare.!!

Following are FORGERY rubber stamps issued from Bombay as well as other cities in India even though there were none issued from that cities.!!

To me it's all BOGUS (never exist) special cancellation except from Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras.!!

So all you see from Kanpur, Lucknow, Poona,

After reading this blog post you might start thinking whether you want to collect or INVEST in stamps.!!

TO ME IT ALL CANCELLATION ARE FORGERY OR BOGUS BECAUSE OF DEMAND AND GLORIFICATION.!!

I THINK THIS IS TO CREATE NEW THEMATIC COLLECTION OF 1948 FIRST DAY COVERS!!

SO BEWARE OF THIS.!!

And if you have already 1948 special cancellation in your collection then you will be AFRAID to go back and compare or even see it, because you will be scared that you might be victim of it.!!

In past I compared  special cancellation issued  from BOMBAY, but in this blog post I am comparing or display which ever I saw on eBay so everyone can get idea what happened in past 65+ years or is happening currently as you read this.!!

Now compare this first day cancellation with other 8 different types of BOMBAY G.P.O and you decide what is going in Stamp INVESTMENT.!!

Compare above four cancellation from BOMBAY and check for # of lines, types of lines in center of special cancellation. (some has 7 and some has 8 and some don't make sense.!!)

Also Chances of original special cancellation with dealers are also high as they might have inherited from family who might  have gotten STOLEN special cancellation from some government postal employee.!! (chances are very high looking to all corruption going in India after Independence), which might apply to any cover and claim as rare cover.!!

But it's nothing like 1948 Gandhi stamps with special cancellation including forged stamps.  To me it looks like very large quantity of FORGED or BOGUS first day cover with special cancellation are roaming in the market.!!

Following are just a tip of iceberg from wide varities of 1948 Gandhi special cancellation from India.

Please look at all screenshot of 1948 Gandhi stamps with special cancellation and do SELF study before you pursue your dream or nightmare.!!

When you try to collect cancellation from different cities, then chances are that you might get BOGUS (never issued) or FORGED cancellation if it's rare available from small cities.!!

Chances are some collectors or dealers might have decided that let's create this 1948 Gandhi First Day Cover thematic collection from different cities of India.!!

Also you might see some BOGUS (never issued) or Forged cancellation from Nepal India Embassy, Pondicherry ( former French India until 1954) etc.

Compare following and you decide.!! HALF of them are BOGUS (not forgery, because it never exist or issued by P&T India.!!). You decide which are BOGUS (fantasy).

Above two cancellation are from MADRAS. Only cancellation with "AUG".!! Also look at the difference between them in shapes. Also "." is missing.

Forgers have not only manufactured stamps for the philatelic market, they have added forged cancellations to those stamps.

Forged cancellations have also be applied to genuine stamps, in cases where the stamps are worth much more postally used. In addition, where rare cancellations are desired by collectors, those cancellations have also been forged.

Cancellations also may be used to prove that certain philatelic items are genuine. For example, forgers have fabricated many supposedly valuable postal covers by adding genuine stamps and forged postal markings to pre-stamp covers. (From Wikipedia)

Poona & Simla cancellation looks like BOGUS

Don't your think it's UGLY out there ?

Above two cancellation are from NAGPUR looks BOGUS. Look at the difference.

Kanpur & Patna cancellation with irregular alphabets and letters along with shapes

Delhi and New Delhi cancellation. Looks at  the difference.

Pondicherry was ruled by French India in 1948. Compare it with MADRAS which only has "AUG" where as Pondicherry has "AUGUST" even though they are very near.!!

Does ALLAHABAD & PATNA cancellation looks like GENUINE ?

Calcutta cancellation is Forgery and Simla cancellation are both different.!!

Both SHILLONG cancellation looks different with HINDI alphabet "Jai Hind" and type & # of lines

To me it looks like a BIG SCAM.!!!!!! But it's upto you to decide.!!!

Now you do SELF Study and decide and think deep what  happened or happening.!!

There is nothing RARE or Scare in philately because this hobby is in downward trend because experienced collectors are loosing interest because value is not appreciating and new collectors are not coming in to this because there are lot of other things to do for them such as playing video games on Nintendo or X-box , social networking on facebook or google+ or  surfing on web through internet or SMS through iphone or android or watch games such as cricket, football or basketball on TV.

Only way philately can sustain is to stop cheating in this hobby. Yes CHEATING.!! which is what you will see in order to increase value artificially by inflating the price by SHILL bidding, not paying to seller or mutual understanding cancelling transaction and lot more.

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

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?

10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!! or even Collecting.!!!

Do you think it's INVESTMENT or GAME.!!

I think it's not for Investment but it's a Philatelic GAME.!!

So let's see how to play  Philatelic Game.!! (click to read how to, rules and regulations.!!)

So what do you think about this BOMBAY G.P.O private First day cover of Memorial issue of Gandhi stamps.!!

Be you own EXPERT otherwise you will regret whole your life.!!
