eBay Shill Bidding - how to increase price on ebay - Overprint Gandhi stamps Briefmarken Timbres

Recently I saw Cameroun Mahatma Gandhi  First Moon Landing space overprint stamp sold for $33.

To me this was overprint just to make money by selling it as Rare or unique or error stamps!!

No value in stamp collection right now as it is error.

Do we buy defective product? HELL NO.

First thing it does not make sense that someone will overprint on stamp.

Second thing it does not make sense to overprint multiple different overprint stamp on same stamps. (Gandhi type I stamp, Gandhi type II stamp etc)

Third thing it does not make sense that some one is willing to buy it for $33 in this Internet age world.

$33 for piece of paper!!

But there are 12 bids and 6 bidder!!!


Do you think this is artificially price increased by SHILL bidding?

SHILL bidding is easy. Just open another account on eBay and start bidding. eBay don't ask any payment info until to want to pay for it.!!

If you win then retract the bid.

You can cancel bid before certain timing also.

Do you think sellers has only one account?

Hell No.

This is widely used practice to increase price so it looks genuine that lot of people are buying it and there is increase in value since last year or 5 years!!

But no one know it was actually paid to seller or eBay?

Also some other stamp dealers will bid on this stamp and don't pay in order to increase their stamp collection value.

eBay seller just don't open case and eBay will not charge commission (10%).

Now you will see some of the ebay bidders are bidding on eBay 1569 items (most of them are  stamps, Briefmarken,  Timbres) with 2400 bids and retracting (take back) on 148 items.


Does it make sense?

Queen Victoria stamp - David Brandon Expert Certificate - UK capital gain tax on stamp collection.

Recently I saw 1895 Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp  with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048.!!

We know how easy is to make overprint stamp and claim it is unique and rare.

We know forgery and BOGUS (never exist) stamp are made with overprint and try to cheat seller.

Click following is BOGUS stamp which was sold for $225000.with expert certificate.!!  (It's a common practice in stamp collection.!!)

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/expensive-gandhi-stamp.html

But this  Indian stamp of Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96 O/P Type 9 on QV 3r (rupees) stamp sold for $3048 by seller "stampedia" from UK.

It's good for UK government as they will get CAPITAL GAIN TAX from this stamp. (20-30%)

Also UK government will get VAT from this  Queen Victoria stamp with overprint British East Africa - 1895-96. (15-20%)

Also new eBay stock investor will see this as potential oppurntuity to buy eBay stock/shares, because eBay will get 10% from this transaction.!!

Also PayPal will get 2-3% if it was used to complete transaction.!!

So lot of money is flowing from this one stamp to all of them including seller who will get 50% after all the commission to eBay, Capital GAIN tax and VAT.

you decide whether this is genuine or forgery or bogus by
looking margin on sides, type of overprint etc.

Do you think all of them (UK treasury, UK VAT dept, eBay) got money from this sale of QV stamp ?

or

Buyer did not paid and seller cancel transaction.?

So we are not sure.

But you and me are thinking QV stamp sold for $3000.!!

You and me are thinking QV stamp with overprint British East Africa is rare stamp.!!

Ebay shareholders are thinking their stock is good investment because it's getting lot of money from this kind of transaction.!!

Some rich people will be motivated by stamp dealer to invest in stamps by showing this.!!

Some blog writer, newspaper will make it more famous after looking this QV stamps sold for $3000.!!

Also seller has to pay for this David Brandon Expert Certificate so seller can make sure to buyer it's Genuine.

Seller can avoid paying to David Brandon Expert Committe by creating new expert committe of his own.!!

Yes any one can give expert certificate. No formal education or degree needed to give Expert Certificate. Also there is no university who give education for Expertising stamp.!!

Also you need to make sure that there are lot of forgery expert certificate or BOGUS expert certificate is available in market.

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 ?

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

Cameroun Gandhi Kennedy Moon Landing overprint commercially register used cover

I am surprised by selling price of Cameroun Gandhi Kennedy Moon Landing overprint commercially register used cover. It was sold for $56.!! 

Yes $56 is also too much because this overprint stamp does not make sense at all from this small countries where no one is interested in stopping forgeries and Bogus stamps.  Also government has no time or interest to go after forger.!!

Click following link to my previous blog post about Cameroun Gandhi Kennedy Moon Landing overprint commercially register used cover which were sold for $456 and $256, so you understand what you are collecting)

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-cameroun-commerically-used-covers.html

So what do you think about this pricing ?

$56 or $256 or $456 

Don't you think it's all inflated price!!

Following are some notable stamp collecting BOGUS (never exist or forged) so look at it before you start collecting stamps.

Fake  used on paper with 1948 Gandhi 1 1/2 Annas SERVICE are available in plenty with Governer Camp PO.!! (Even with SUNDAY cancellation!!)

Gandhi SERVICE FAKE Stamps and Governor Cancellation  

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!!

Why 2009 FAKE 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 upto 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 ?

So after reading what do you think about Cameroun Gandhi Kennedy Moon Landing overprint commercially register used cover ?

BOGUS ? (never exist stamps and forged rubber stamps from Cameroun)

Genuine ? (one of a kind )

Everyone has different opinion. No one take responsibility or liability of their opinion like Expert Certificate even after charging money for their opinion.!!

My personal opinion (FREE) for this Cameroun Gandhi Kennedy Moon Landing overprint commercially register used cover is BOGUS!

But main thing is it's up to buyer to think about it.

Also it will be Philatelic Judges to think about this kind of activity!!

Thanks

Compare following 3 covers and you decide what is INCORRECT here or what you think is suspicious.

Muscat 1956 Green 1 1/2a 1 1/2d stamp with B.P.A BPA Expert Certificate

Recently I saw Green 1 1/2d Queen Victoria revenue stamp overprint with 1 1/2 Annas. This stamp might be genuine as it has has B.P.A Expert certificate but certificate don't have any address or phone # or any government registration id.

So not sure it's authenticated/genuine or just printed on piece of paper.!!

Now this Green Queen Victoria revenue stamp overprint stamp with BPA Expert Certificate was sold for $1225 from Slovakia by eBay seller "rrstampshop" with feedback of 6 (only 6) .!!! So buyer believed this Expert Certificate.

After looking all kind of forgery overprint stamps or Bogus (never exist) overprint stamps as well as forgery EXPERT certificate it's very hard to believe now a days in stamps collection.

Also we know how easy is to make or provide stamp EXPERT certificate. If you don't know or want to know then click following link

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

So how we know whether Green Queen Victoria revenue stamp is genuine or forgery ?

So how we know whether Green Queen Victoria revenue stamp was indeed overprint stamps ?

Not sure who buys this stamps even though stamp collection is declining or almost obsolete.!

Click following link to read and you decide.

Most Expensive stamp if it was Genuine as no one has seen used 10 rupees Gandhi SERVICE before.!!

King George VI stamp and Gandhi SERVICE stamp used on piece of paper. Is it FORGERY of Indian Government Service?

To me it is a common practice to increase price of stamp by shill bidding  and than make "Second Offer" or by re-listing from different id so collector will try to buy it at lower price thinking they got a good deal.!!

So BEWARE of this kind of activity in Stamps as well as all other stamps.

Thanks

Gandhi Stamps are false hopes of RICHES - Part II ?
1948 Indian Gandhi stamps used in Tibet 
Nepal Indian Embassy Cancellation on 1948 Gandhi Stamps
Early usage of 1948 Gandhi stamps
FAKE 1948 Gandhi stamp FDC from India.
Gandhi SERVICE stamp is it REAL or FAKE?

Overprint stamps - 1948 Gandhi SERVICE stamp selling are BOGUS ?

 Recently on eBay I saw a letter with magazine cutout and  one 1.5 annas Gandhi SERVICE stamp sold for $400 by eBay seller  "rohit98103" from India.

After reading this letter I am surprised how a stamp collector/dealer was selling Gandhi SERVICE stamp 60+ years ago ?

As per unofficially documents from web or handbooks or exhibit this stamps were specially printed for use by Governor General in 1948 and there after.

So how it was selling by some private collector/dealer for 15 Rupees.!!

Looks like in 1948/1949  collector/dealers were making lot of profit upto 1000% by just overprinting  on 1 1/2 anna stamp (15 paise or 0.15 rupees)  and selling as Gandhi SERVICE stamp in very short period.!!

Now don't you think that Gandhi SERVICE stamps were STOLEN from Indian government  or are the FORGERY or Bogus stamps ?

This letter was send to Indian collector who was not even aware of Gandhi SERVICE stamp and he was willing to pay for this.!!

To me it looks like SUSPENSE.!!

Even the following article don't know whether it's official or not. They have to believe to some collectors/dealers and also from used stamp.!!

"Now it is definitely known that several sheets each of the 1 1/2, 3 1/2 and 12 annas were overprinted with the word SERVICE"

Why can't they did not research directly to Postal Administration or Governor General PO about the authenticity of this OVERPRINT SERVICE stamps. ( because it was not overprinted in lower value stamps).

To me all 3 lower value stamps with OVERPRINT are nothing but BOGUS stamps and everyone who has it needs to make more research about it.

Don't follow some stamp exhibit or handbooks as they are the one who might don't know (or might be aware of it) the truth and might publish it or won medal.!! (Award winning exhibit).

Then what are all with Expert Certificate ? (They don't any liability and it's just opinion like mine.!!)

It's a BIG SCAM.!

Description by seller "rohit98103"

"INDIA 1948 GANDHI SERVICE 1 1/2 ANNA + JAL COOPER LETTER + MAGAZINE CUTOUT THE STAMP IS MNH LETTER SIGNED & SENT BY JAL COOPER ENCLOSING THE SERVICE STAMP & GIVING THE PRICE OF HIS SALES TWO CUTOUTS FROM MAGAZINE RELATED TO THE ISSUE OF SERVICE STAMPS WHITE GUM"

After thinking more this Gandhi SERVICE stamp may not even exist.!! (I am only thinking.!!)

What are chances of non existence of this stamp ? ( I think there are lot of chances, God knows what happen in 1948 or 1949!!)

It might be idea of some clever collector who might want to give a ride to everyone.!!

10 Rupees Gandhi SERVICE stamp is officially issued but not enough quantity so they decided let's make it something like that for similar with lower value stamp.!!


But you can find Genuine copy of used Gandhi SERVICE stamp as all are FORGED and then shill bidding to make it expensive so others will think this are real stamps and cancellation on piece of paper and even also on envelope. All is BOGUS.!!

Read my previous blog post about Gandhi Service stamp and think what kind of philatelic material are made with this kind of stamps.!!

1) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
2) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?
3) Maryland forgery of Gandhi SERVICE stamp is $450. Is it shill bidding?
4) Gandhi SERVICE stamp on piece of paper with SUNDAY cancellation !!! ?

If some collector can come up with 2009 Winnenden Germany Gandhi special cancellation without Official issued by post office, anything was possible in 1948.!!

Following is 2009 BOGUS cancellation (not officially issued).

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/fake-gandhi-postmark-cancel-from.html

Also in 1949 someone created rubber stamp on Sunday (post office are closed) from BOMBAY R.M.S instead of G.P.O and started selling and some of them took ride on this.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/09/postal-history-of-india-does-it-make.html

There are lot of OVERPRINT stamp which are FORGED.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/10/king-george-v-and-king-edward-stamps.html

So now you have to THINK.

What are this OVERPRINT stamps ?

I think it's BOGUS which were never printed officially.!! (My personal opinion). 

Then what are all with Expert Certificate ? (They don't any liability and it's just opinion like mine.!!)

It's "Art of Making Money" by collectors/dealers.!!

BTW : If you own this stamp please let me know what do you think ? (with proper verification I will publish your comment.!)

Apollo stamps - Moon Landing stamps - Error stamps - Overprint stamps

How low do you think following Cameroun 1969 Apollo Inverted Error overprint o/p miniature sheet M/S of 10 pairs will go.

To me this kinds of stamps are nothing but FAKE OR BOGUS because it's FANTASY of some dealers and we all collectors think it's ERROR stamp.!!

Can you believe someone can overprint by mistake on Gandhi stamps with Moon Landing.!!

But can you believe experienced stamp collectors and philatelic handbook also glorify this as ERROR stamp.!!

Even philatelic judges think as error stamps and stamps exhibit are getting medals for this kinds of stamps.!!

Not only that even BOGUS special cancellation (rubber stamp) are getting medal as rare unique cancellation.!! ( 2009 Germany Winnenden Gandhi cancellation or 1948 Jai Hind Cancellation.)

Don't you think it's common sense and right away we can tell it's does not make sense so it's forgery stamps. We don't need any Philatelic EXPERTIZING agency or person to give their certificate which they don't take liability.!!

So every one wants to glorify it.!!

Currently it's available for $451. In last 3 months it has reduced from $1200 to $450.!!!

How low this can go ?

To me it will go for $10 for 10 pairs.!!!

Reason for this low

1) Does not make sense it's overprint stamp, so it's not ERROR stamps.!!
2) There might me more than 1000 sheets still available or might be more.!!

Apollo Moon Landing stamps - overprint stamps

To me it looks like everyone (collector, dealer, judges, authors, auction house, financial advisor etc)  are involved in glorifying Gandhi stamp collection. One will exhibit it, other will give medal award, one will sell it, one will do shill bidding, one will write about it, one will advise to buy it.!! Everyone wants your money.!!

There is all kind of information about this stamps in handbook or other magazine, but no one tells you to think why or question about this error.!!

Recently I saw Apollo Moon Landing overprint stamp sheet from Cameroun on Gandhi stamps sheet.!!

Complete sheet of  Apollo Moon Landing stamps of 10 pairs was for sale for $579. But seller reduce it value from $1198 to $579.!! in just about a month.!!

So not sure why such a reduction in stamp price.!!, but we all know Stamp collection hobby is in decline.!! (Read following blog posts about it).

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-hobby-in-decline.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/06/stamp-collection-decline-in-investment.html

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/03/india-stamps-how-to-invest-when.html

As per stamp collection definition it's a ERROR stamp.!!, but how in the world some one will do this kind of error.!!

Even small kids understand this that it's not error but delibrate act to make it rare stamps.!!!

But not sure what philatelic judges see this as, genuine error or delibrate act.!!  But in past collectors have won medal with BOGUS (never exist) special cancellation from Winneden Germany on October 2009 which was never issued by Germany postal department and illegal use of Emblem of India.!!

Some are FORGED to  make money such as Specimen stamps or SERVICE stamps by just apply RUBBER stamp or printing on it.

I wrote about Cameroun overprint stamps with Apollo moon landing printing on it.!!

I don't consider this as Error stamp, because I have smart and not idiot who will come in all glorification of stamsp because and it's a delibrate act.

I have this error overprint stamp (not complete sheet) with me.!!!  But I will not buy it now because it will be waste of my album space.!!!

You might be wondering why I bought it.!!, because there was not enough information to THINK about this kind of glorification material. which is nothing but lie to collectors.!!

So now you can THINK about this!!

Overprint stamps of China

Hello Gandhi stamp collectors,

I am just comparing Gandhi overprint stamps with Overprint stamps of China.

We all know that Gandhi OVERPRINT stamps are nothing but philatelic fantasy or cinderella stamps just specially  overprint to make money (lot more money) and fool collectors.

But now I am also seeing lot of overprint stamps of China.!! Not only that but it has also overprinted with India money Annas, which were also used on Gandhi stamps.!!

There are other also overprint stamp which are also Forgery (but selling as Replica FAKE).

Looks like Forgery is every where in philatelic.!!

I read that India and China stamp market is booming. Collectors are making tons of money on their investment. 

I read some China stamp collectors made 4 times money in just 4-5 years.!!!

To me it looks like it's a false propaganda to glorify Chinese stamps.!! I had seen this in Gandhi stamps and I am seeing lot of similarities in China stamps.

We have seen lot of FORGERY in Gandhi overprint stamps and other British India overprint stamps with SERVICE, Specimen or ERRORS. Following are some of them.

1) Gandhi inverted SERVICE stamp and King George inverted Service stamps.!!

2) Gandhi Cameroun stamps and  Martin Luther king stamps  overprinted for Apollo Moon Landing.

3) India Gandhi SERVICE stamps

4) Gandhi Specimen stamps from Cyprus, Guyana, Germany

5) Queen Victoria stamps overprint with Indian State Zanzibar with ERROR.!!

6) King George overprint stamp with Patiala state with ERROR.!!

7) Nicaragua Einstein and Gandhi Overprint stamp with overprint of Olympic stamps.!!

Following is example of Cameroun 1968 Gandhi Overprint stamp with 1969 Apollo Moon Landing.!! Biggest overprint stamp Cheating.!!!

Don't you think this is IMPOSSIBLE.!! How some country can overprint on previous year stamp.!!!

All following Overprint stamps of China is Forged. Think what are chances of getting this stamps instead of Genuine stamp which barely exist.!!

I don't know what following Overprint stamps of China are or what even overprint means because it's all Chinese language. except Annas.!!

So beware what are you collecting. As per me all China stamps are RE-PRINTED  to provide the need of collectors and some to glorify it by increasing price so new collectors or investor will think China stamps are appreciating and let's invest in it.

But China stamp collection is worthless as GENUINE stamps are very rarely available because of communist country and think why people need stamps in China as everyone was living same villages for centuries.!!

But it's all glorification by selling for 2000-3000$ for $11000 price for just 5 stamps where as it is available for $15.!!!

1) Mao stamps (set of 5 stamp) selling for $11000.!!
2) PRC china Mao poem stamps (set of 14) sold for $3550!!

If you read above 2 blog post you will understand that it's nothing by glorification of stamps form China,  Mao stamps from China. Same stamps are selling for $10-$15.!!!

So BEWARE what you are collecting and why are you collecting.!!

Read my following blog post to understand about stamp collection in DECLINE.!!

1) A Hobby in Decline : 1948 Gandhi USED cover case study.!!
2) A Hobby in Decline.!! - Part-2
3) How to invest when philately price is dropping.

If you see stamps are not even selling or selling like 5-10 times lower their value than mentioned in catalog.!!

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  surfig 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.

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.
