impvladimiravg the shill bidder of the Serb group consisting now of 6 gang members..............................................................
master-numismatics, ancient-lord, antique_store-1, roman-hunter, bay_antiques
I could already prove three more times shill-bidding of mikinumismatics for antique_store-1. Unfortunately the evidence has been lost by our forum crash.
The ring from the last image was also offered by mikinumismatics after sale from antique_store-1. The eagle ring (2nd picture) was sold in early April . Now it is again for sale, but this time by mikinumismatics. Clear evidence for shill bidding.
However, he does not just sell the "bidding accidents".
Old rings with new engravings, inconspicuous fake rings. Nothing spectacular.
Looks as if he does not want to attract attention. With his other ID (master-numismatics) he tries the same strategy. Only with the ancient-lord ID he dares to bring more "risky fakes" on the market. With risky fakes I mean the fakes that are easily recognizable as counterfeits.
With five accounts now offers the Serbian group on ebay, one of which is this seller
That's what I call family aid. Mutual feedbacks mikinumismatics and antique_store-1. Shill-bidding?
the "Springer" for the Serbian group (shill-bidding) and other ID of master-numismatics
New ID with new fakes
14 days fake selling by the Serbian group.
Number of fakes 48
of which 46 rings
the spiced up bronze rings are not included
recorded Dec., 19, 2017
It seems that nobody sees the similarity of the rings
Whether Celtic or Roman, Byzantine or elsewhere, inner hoops always the same. Compare within the Serbian group
the branch directly connected to master-numismatics. Quasi an intimate friendship within the Serbian gang
if it looks like it was made yesterday, then it probably was.
a little research, literature, museum visits of the potential buyers and such fakes remained unsalable
The Serbian group (6 gang members) now sells 4-5 silver ring fakes per member. Total of 20 to 26 fakes per week.
From now on I will leave the pictures uncommented. The crowd forces a quick and efficient show-off. By now, the attentive observers may well be able to identify the fakes as such.
One week fake selling from the Serbian Group consisting of:
master-numismatics, ancient-lord, antique_store-1,moesia_roman_empire, impvladimiravg and roman-hunter
a prime example how to catch naive buyers with pseudo-knowledge.
Engraving copied from a coin, text copied from Wikipedia. If I look at the course of the bids, probably again shill bidding.
All in just one week ......... fakes of the entire fake seller group from former Yugoslavia
Judging by the other Serbian gang members, he lists rather little, often older rings spiced up with engravings and sold as genuine artifacts
he gives up his reserve. More and more fakes. In the meantime he had tried to sell some real things. But obviously he deserves more with the fakes :-)
again - shill bidding went wrong
nice fake selection
