This forum suffered a corruption of many of its files.
We are creating replacement posting for this worst ebay fake seller.
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/uniques77777?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
Seller says : Hi, from me you will get - LOYALTY, CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, PRECISION, SECURITY, AND EXTREMELY RARE VERY NICE UNIQUE ITEMS 100% AUTHENTIC AND REAL THINGS. But everything I say and write here you'll find the truth soon as you buy and get the items from me !!!!!
This seller selling from Bulgaria sold in the time we lost for the breakdown of our forum each week 2 legion rings, luluna pendants, plenty of forgery coins silver and gold, and bracelets.
With thanks to the owner of this website http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-rings-section-3.html we were able to publish before many fake rings also from this seller. The silver and gold forgery coins we could spot are unfortunately for ever lost. Here, however, the negative feedbacks of some customers have ensured that he currently paused with the sale of forgery coins.
The following pictures could be saved. Unfortunately, only a part of the many fakes that this "hard-working" fake seller sold directly from Bulgaria.
Until February 2017 (date of breakdown) were sold:
three rings of Legion I, four from leg. III, five from leg. VI , each two from leg. VII and XI, followed by single sales of leg. XXI and XXII
And, of course, the engraved eagle, which can be assigned at will to a legion.
Now the new fakes. From legion III there are four examples. Seems to be really the favorite legion of the Bulgarian forgers.
PS. the untrustworthy seller GOLDFINGURE buys legion ring fakes from uniques77777 and resells them with a rich margin.
Whether one believe it or not, the blind, deaf, and brainless buyers also buy these "second-hand fakes" at double the price.
The first fakes from uniques77777 he offered with same pics and offer text :-)
With these fakes we are up to date. The next will follow next week.
Only for fun..another leg. III ring was found. In just two months now the fourth leg.III fake sold from same seller
Amazingly, the buyer pays $ 435.00 for this fake.
Viking bracelets,axe pendants, weekly two Roman legion rings and now also legion figures - all fakes exclusively from this seller
The seller is now trying to sell the fakes in gold. Naturally, a legion ring. The silver counterpart with identical engraving (see last post), similar ring shape but without the inscription on both shoulders he sold a week ago.
Sold for $ 800.00 to the lucky fake collector
Seller starts again with legionary fakes................
These are by far the worst fake rings, which can be bought for big money
There is an increase chance - bad - worse - even worse
The market with fake legion rings is booming. Even the most poorly made fake find buyers. A horde of brainless fake collectors determines the market.
Two legion II rings within 10 days and no one notices it. One worse than the other !
Three further rings of Legion I and two of Legion II. It means, this untrustworthy seller offered within 3 weeks each four rings from legion I and II.
Very suspicious is the gold (Roman wedding) ring. It is a modern ring and by no means Roman. But also from gold? Many telltale traces point to gold plating.
The uncrowned king of all legion fake rings, specializing in fakes of legions I and II - one more hideous than the other
I found many words for these fakes, creepy, awful, terrible, horrible, frightful, terrifying terrible, horrid, hideous, nasty, atrocious ,dreadful, abominable, detestable, loathsome, abhorrent ,scary,gruesome,bloodcurdling ghoulish, lousy
choose the title that suits you the most..........:-)
even this untrustworthy seller has no more inhibitions at all. Modern rings offered as genuine. Each week at least 4 legion rings and statues / busts from yesterday
to the fakes of uniques77777 you can really just shake your head
nothing more to say as...................................
bad - worse - worst
the fakes offered by uniques 77777 are an attack on the intellect
a phenomenon only at uniques 77777. One can see some days before the scheduled fakes too
current fake listing of a fraudulent seller with a feedback reply showing off the customer really as an idiot and last but not least a preview of a scheduled item (perfect support of a fake seller)
I refuse to comment on this crap. Whoever buys these fakes, has earned them too
the king of the legionary fakes
The seller is male and registered in USA. Shipping from Bulgaria, the classic fake country. Presenting is done by a female model.
Seems to make the buyers blind, deaf and brainless. Because all fakes are sold. Legion rings are usually a male domain. The fake seller's strategy works :-)
Even the really scary gold Leg. fake was sold. It's really easy to pull the money out of the bag with the right strategy. Do not search anyone before paying $ 1800.
Since the forgery workshop also engraves the shoulders and hoop, the fakes are sold like "hot cakes".
The Bulgarian fake industry now also copies the fakes of other sellers. Nice, so far this was the domain of the Serbian counterfeit workshop
incredible! Uniques77777 current fake listing and the item coming soon (special ebay support service for fake seller ?)
the fakes are not nearly authentic - badly worked - engraving and inscription only made for fake collector
compare the fakes of the items sold sponsored by fake collector, the current offers and advance information of a scheduled item, which ebay grants only to the worst of the fake seller. There is nothing more to say.
An amazing success of one of the nastiest fake sellers by naive and uninformed purchasers
This scammer has worked up an average of 5-6 legionsfake per week. In addition, the viking counterfeits and the modern bronze statues, high priced offered as real.
By the way, I have already found three former buyers re-selling these fakes. All from USA. I would say free after Trump - we make the fake market great again -
Proposal to anyone who wants to get rid of counterfeit sellers
Report the fakes. The more we report, the less ebay can ignore the fake seller !!!
On the listing page which you are reporting you need to click on the blue Report Item,(above the Item number and to the right of the Description and Postage tabs.)
Then you might continue as per attached screen shots...............................

when does ebay stop the gigantic scam. And uniques77777 is just one of many. 90% of the "genuine" artifacts on ebay are fakes. Ebay is constantly informed - but does nothing.
Money first - then the customers. Everything else is a lie.

Six (6) sales are still pending, meaning that the sale is not yet complete. One (1) new legion fake has been added today.
The method of this seller, once one counterfeit is sold, comes a new one.Sales November 23 - December 7, 2017 as screenshot enclosed.
The sale of
only the legion ring fakes for that period is € 6,404.96 = $ 7.553.25 (actual converting rate)
For the
remaining fake artifacts you can add just over $ 1,000.00 for that period.
It means .. legion ring fakes plus "other" fakes = a total of 24 fakes sold from Nov. 23 - Dec. 7, 2017.
plus the six auctions that have not yet ended and the new one, added today

Seller says:
NOTE : You yourself can adjust your size, because this beautiful and unique RING is silver and the silver has plasticity properties !!!
This is by no means true for real genuine rings, neither gold, silver or even bronze.Resizing is surely not possible for genuine silver because the high temperature needed to solder the ring can damage the old silver and/or the complete ring depending on the condition of the genuine silver and where the ring was stored for the last thousands of years (underground, in the water, etc.) and which chemicals or environmental factors it was exposed to.
If the seller claims his rings can be resized, then he has no idea that this does not apply to genuine rings, whether silver or gold.
But we know he sells replicas as genuine rings, which of course can be changed just like all modern rings.
To resize a ring, jewelers cut the band and then increase or decrease its size. To increase the size of your ring, the jeweler will spread it as much as needed after cutting it and will then add a new piece of metal to fill the gap.
Decreasing a ring's size works in a similar fashion: The jeweler will cut out a strip from the ring and narrow the band by joining the two ends together.
After the resizing is done, the jeweler will put your ring back together by soldering the band where it was cut.
When a ring is resized, the place where it was cut and then soldered becomes weaker.If the band is thinner at that spot and you can see a dented line, then the soldering will be more likely to break.There is a limit to how much the size of a ring can be changed. If the desired increase or decrease is more than one or two sizes, then it is unlikely that resizing would be possible without putting the ring at risk of damage.
Other methods such as stretching, carving out, or adding additional material can be employed, but their effectiveness has limits.
In general, make sure that your ring fits as well as possible before you buy it because resizing it later could involve a lot of hassle and may even be impossible.
Please enjoy the mail correspondence with uniques77777. The content speaks for itself !!!
my question:
HI, how did you know that this beautiful necklace belonged to a Senator's wife? How was the age determined? Is there testing for it? Or is the excavation site known? Thanks your kind answer
answer from uniques77777:
Hi Dear, Thank You, for choosing – I appreciate great buyers like you.
These ancient pieces was collected in continuation many years by my grandfather who owned a huge collection - more than 350 ancient items ancient Roman, Byzantine, Viking, Celtic, Thracian artifacts - now I sell a part of this collection. ***
>>> ( My grandfather died Before Two years and now I sell some of his collection ) <<< My grandfather also has had and a metal detector, He was search and found for archaeological finds (it's called looting and absolutely illegal), He Travels in the whole country (Bulgaria - Europe), also he traveled and in neighboring countries - to search for ancient objects. My grandfather also had a GREAT friend from Germany, some of the items belonged to the German collector because they exchanged objects, they made barters for some artifacts.
Тhe only checking I have done is an expert on determining the composition of the metal - I've been to a expert and he confirmed that this item are 100% SOLID SILVER.
Everything else which have as information about this item is described in the listing.
Authors note
*** A part ? Below are the sold fakes of almost three months. Starting from the stock of more than 350 ancient artifacts, the grandfather's entire stock is expected to have sold off in less than a year. But where does the surplus come from?
Oh, I know--- the grandmother is now doing the illegal excavations and sends them to the German friend, who then does some kind of artifacts laundry (not money laundering) and exchanges these looted things for fakes.***
Best regards.
Greetings from BULGARIA.
my answer to uniques77777
HI, thanks your prompte reply. I think you know the excavation site of this fantastic necklace? Would you share your knowledge also with me? Because the senatorial indication means that this artifact was submitted to an expert, right? I assume that your grandfather has listed the artifacts and then noted age and affiliation. Because after all this time, it is difficult for heirs to determine the artifacts without information. You must be happy to keep the artifacts found. Unfortunately, that's illegal in Germany. We have to hand over everything to the authorities and we are not allowed to export ancient artifacts.
answer from uniques77777
This is ALL information Thanks :)
Attached the negative and neutral feedbacks from this seller and the overview of the sold fakes (the knitwear are crossed out) from September 27th. 2017 to December 24th. 2017. Not half bad, right? Cheating is worth it on ebay.

"A big bit of advice to collectors, and you can quote me on this!....
A big library is more important than a big cheque book"
Louis McWhinnie
One and the same Bulgarian seller sells hundreds of legion rings over the years, claiming that all rings are genuine. Engravings, inscription all made by the same "hand". The style often repeats, all with almost identical signs of age. He can always specify exactly where the rings originally came from, who they belonged to - without, of course, establishing themselves with a provenance.
Gold Legion rings found and classified worldwide can be counted on the fingers of two hands.
Now there are a total of five more coming from the Bulgarian counterfeiting corner. Three of them in the same style, motifs worked out. Surface artificially roughened and almost rugged. Thankfully, this destructive rage could not reach the ring's inner surface. The color of the gold shows immediately that the gold is not antique / old, most likely less than 23 ct. (the rich, dark tone of genuine gold is unmistakable) All exclusive offered by the same seller, just like the remaining hundreds of silver legion ring fakes.
The blind, naive and totally misinformed buyers would have to sound meanwhile ears. It should ring the alarm bells, if only the word legion or similar appears in the headline of an ebay offer. If the items are delivered from the Eastern European fake triangle then a counterfeit is guaranteed. This guarantee is also the only thing that is really real and can of course be confirmed with a COA :-)
Enjoy last pic depicting guaranteed genuine legion GOLD rings, most likely belonging to high-ranking officers of the Roman army. Do you see the difference between real high-carat antique gold rings and Bulgarian fakes?

Yes for sure. All IDs with seller locations in USA. Two with item location Bulgaria. Augusta_fine_art with item location Munich, Germany, almost neighbor of Bulgaria :-)
Well, that's what I call prompt service
every day a new legion ring fake - one worse than the other -
The leg. VI fake is dumbing down the fake collector. One is not even sold and then comes the second.
The more ebay buyers complain about this untrustworthy seller and its two fake branches (five_stars_five and augusta_fine_arts) because of fake selling , the more ebay seems to support him.
high live the 10% final value fees that allow ebay to cover morale if it ever existed.
his augusta_fine_arts branch is now also increasingly offering legion ring fakes. Currently two counterfeits from the Bulgarian fraud program
amazing. Ebay does not care about the masses of reported fakes. But yesterday the spintria fake (sex scene, last fake from above post) was still free to view. Today it is "banished". Only mature ebay users are allowed to see the engraving.
Let's summarize ......... fakes allowed on ebay in general. Fakes with a sex scene are only available to selected fake collectors over the age of 18. Now the phallus pendants and vagina engraving have to follow.
What a hypocrisy
every day two to three - sometimes more - Roman and Viking fakes. Pendants, bracelets and rings. There is always a legion ring fake - every day = 30-31 counterfeit legion rings per month = 36o-365 per year :-)
And the buyers still believe in the authenticity? Maybe they think the leg rings were made by machine and all of them "survived" millennia in Bulgaria.
groundhog day.................................................
every day a new legion ring fake, wow - no buyer gets suspicious?
Last week of January 2018....................33 fakes from one seller only
I have never experienced anything like it. This crook was reported last month more than 50 times as a fake seller to ebay. But ebay did not seem interested in that. Only the status feedback that ebay cares, but top secret.
How does that "ebay cares" look like?
anno 2015 from http://ancientartifakes.net/smf/index.php/topic,1152.0.html
According to the police, there are between 20 and 50 skilled forgers working actively in Bulgaria in "different fields" of forgery such as coins, ceramics, gold (silver) jewelry. The top performers among those, however, are about a dozen.
fake galore - each day one to two new legion fakes and countless Viking counterfeits -
these are the fake legion rings (last pic with add. legion pendants) sold from uniques77777 only from January 12, to February 8, 2018. The gold legion ring fakes from same seller are not included

Another goody for the weekend, the new fake arrivals of the last two days
Now we are sure that our new member Expert antiques is uniques77777. See above posts.
To demonstrate how it does not matter to him that he is listed as a fake seller and how unassailable he feels, today more counterfeits have been listed than usual.
A total of 47 fakes in his current sales list
These are the legion ring fakes uniques77777 listed from February 23, to February 27, 2018
The really hard-to-find items are really hard to find. If such items (like legion rings) are sold in large quantities, then they are certainly counterfeits
February 28, 2018 .... = 57 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 14 newly listed today
March 1, 2018.... = 60 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 5 newly listed today

March 3, 2018.... = 67 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 15 newly listed today
We know that some new members from Bulgaria are in our forum, of which we could certainly identify "Expert antiques" as uniques77777.
This confirms our suspicion of a criminal group that does not give a damn if and when their fakes are made public. On the contrary, all honest buyers are ridiculed.
March 4, 2018.... = 69 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 8 newly listed today
Remember - hard-to-find items are really hard-to-find. If someone has to sell large quantities of these alleged museum quality artifacts, then they are certainly fakes

interesting the amount of listed legion ring fakes. All with bids from unsuspecting bargain hunters.
The seller tries to score with quantity. The second money printing machine for cheats "viking pendants" - here in particular Thor's hammer - a lot of fakes and all with bids. I can not believe it. There are now really good silver replicas available, which one can buy for a fraction of the price of these fakes.
TAKE A FAKE - all these Hammer of Thor fakes listed March 13, 2018
March 17, 2018... = 71 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 16 newly listed today

Approx. 150 fake reports about this crook from various ebay members, anyway ebay is silent and lets him continue to cheat. Incredible
exclusively from uniques77777....................................
Legion ring and pendant available now as fake set
Can we hope carefully? Did ebay finally listen to us?
Complete fake listing has ended. We may watch the branches of uniques77777 and if this crook will return with a different ID

March 27, 2018.. 64 fakes listed from uniques77777 of which 10 newly listed today
Attached an interesting mail correspondence with augusta_fine_arts ,another branch of uniques77777
What looked like a defeat in the beginning has turned out to be a partial victory.
Ebay has its own way of dealing with cheaters. After an estimated 350-400 fake report uniques closed from one day to the next his complete listing. After a few days all fakes were listed again.
That was irritating. It turns out, however, that he can only (or may) sell "nationally". No international listing is possible anymore.
Why is USA "National" for a European seller?
He comes from Bulgaria, but ebay offers the possibility for sellers from countries where ebay is not represented to sell from the USA. This is exploited by the fraudsters. The Serbian and Bulgarian mafia-like gangs now have an easy game, spread all over the world and serve their customers with fakes.
And ebay kills two birds with one stone. It has hypocritically reacted to the many fake reports while saving its high profit margins (10% sales charge).
That's what I call "double morality". In one sense, the index finger is raised (customer protection), in the other respects ebay works under the public eye as a fence

He only can sell his fakes within the United States.
The rest of the world is excluded from the supply of his counterfeits.
(Excludes: Africa, Asia, Central America and Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, North America, Oceania, Southeast Asia, South America)
Lucky for the buyers from these countries.
unbelievable and yet these leg ring fakes still find buyers. In the last four days 29 legion ring have been newly listed. And for the buyers, this mass is quite normal.
New legion ring fake delivery arrived. Compare the "L" on the fakes. Almost all written identically. Nevertheless, a real fake collector can not be deterred from buying this scrap as well

Read the offer text for a modern pendant with cast coin. Sounds familiar, right?
OCTAVIAN AUGUSTUS. SILVER DENARIUS 42 BC. ROME.
MATERIAL coin: Solid SILVER 910-940 (tested)
Total WEIGHT: 6.39 gram
NOTE : This coin was purchased by trader/dealer and I cannot guarantee whether
it is authentic or replica !!!!!!!
PENDANT/NECKLACE: 100% HANDMADE unique craftsmanship riveting silver Denarius in Pendant ! > DIMENSION IN INCHES: See Photo 3 in listing. > MATERIAL Pendant: Solid SILVER 925 (silver stamp 925) Unique masterpiece created and sold directly by first hand. Awesome clear portrait on this historical giant Julius Caesar !!! Let this piece join in your collection with jewelry and be the envy of your friends and neighbors. A brilliant gift for your beloved friend - amazing pleasant surprise!!! > MANY traders/dealers ever and thus his coins sell for tens and tens of thousands of dollars. However, we are presenting you the opportunity to own this piece at a much cheaper price. This is your chance to add an EXTREMELY RARE Roman piece to your collection.
A blessing for all fake collectors. All legions of the Roman Empire left their silver rings for posterity in the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. All first class preserved. Engravings without abrasion, deep and like new. Every day new finds are added.
Perhaps Zeus has his hand in the game and pours this flood from Olympus directly into the counterfeiting workshops.
Of course Thor is responsible for the viking fakes. Hundreds of hammer pendants flow from Thor's kingdom Thrudvangr. Every fake collector wants to have some of the power of Mjölnir ...... because
the hammer of the thunder god Thor was considered by the Teutons as a symbol of strength, energy and for old age. Right-wing extremists nowadays shifted the meaning of the symbol to "militant" and "ethnic connectedness".
The Vikings used the Thorshammer in the form of a pendant as a counterpart to the Christian cross.

new fake arrivals
The newest hit from Bulgaria. Legion pendant fakes. We can look forward to much more. The forger have just started and there are many Roman legions. Every legionary was adorned with jewelery, silver rings, pendants, and soon legion bracelets. Perhaps the jeweled legionnaires were to blame for the downfall of the Roman Empire? They rather polished their jewels than to fight.
How naive must the buyers be to buy this trash. Long live the fake market.
A bitter setback or ebay's interpretation of buyer protection.
Not even 4 weeks have passed and the biggest fake seller on ebay is allowed to sell internationally again. Several hundred fake reports have prompted ebay to block this fraudulent seller from international sales.
Now greed has again triumphed on ebay. 10% profit on every fake sold pushes morale aside.
Quote:"The Interior Ministry has now tabled to the Bulgarian Parliament Penal Code amendments criminalizing the forgery of antiques and art items.
"The problem is that treasure hunting in Bulgaria is thriving but the uppermost archaeological layer, which is 30-40 cm deep, has already been fully ransacked. At the same time, there is a demand, and the antique dealers start compensating [the lack of supply] with fakes.
According to the police, there are between 20 and 50 skilled forgers working actively in Bulgaria in "different fields" of forgery such as coins, ceramics, gold (silver) jewelry. The top performers among those, however, are about a dozen."
The ebay bargain hunters should be pensive. A few hundred dollars for a legion ring or Viking artefacts sold as genuine are often achieved. The buyer receives a worthless replica and does not even notice it.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL TO KNOW!http://archaeologyinbulgaria.com/2015/07/20/bulgarian-antique-traffickers-flood-europe-with-fake-archaeological-artifacts-forged-thracian-treasure-on-sale-for-eur-200000/
that should make any buyer suspicious when looking at the leg. ring fakes of uniques77777
-only modern men's sizes
-all engravings without abrasion
-same state of preservation
-always in the same style:
hoops engraved with leg. no. and other legion-relevant engravings / inscriptions
-constant repetitions of the legions, of which the rings allegedly originate
Two days = and the fake factory in Bulgaria has spit out another 44 legion ring fakes, including seven rings from legion X.
The Viking fake artifacts are lucrative additions.
Compare the Viking warrior face rings from uniques77777. This crook sells now the third almost identical Viking silver ring. Only the hoop always a little modified.
This shameless cheater tries to convince the fake-collector of the authenticity of his counterfeits with the following lie.........
"This item is part of a personal collection consisting of 100% authentic artifacts that I inherited. The item was checking by expert on determining the composition of the metal and it is solid silver. Please review closely all detailed photos and if you are not sure you want purchase the item, please not bid and not make offers in my auctions !!! Also if you have any doubts about the authenticity of the item PLEASE DON'T BUY because I will not accept a return !!! (nice try...he had to accept returns) "
I hope that no one really believes that the masses of legion Rings, pendants and Viking artifacts could be inherited. If you feel like it, you can even count how many fakes have been sold in the last two years by this crook. We have documented every single fake.
All in the same style, all from the same hand, all from Bulgaria. All legions of the Roman Empire left their rings there. Even the Vikings left everything there, so that the interested fake collectors can impress with a piece of history.
Attached feedback now shows that some buyers have noticed the fraud and share their experience with other ebay members.
After all, of 100% fakes sold only 2 buyers who noticed this fraud and left negative feedback
This cheater starts slowly to increase the fake offers. He also takes shipping fees again.
The shock of negative feedbacks is over. The buyers of his fakes ignore the warnings of other deceived buyers and continue to throw their money into the greedy mouth of one of the biggest scammers on ebay.
This seller has recovered from the shock of negative feedbacks. After his "I-have-all-inherited" lie, he raises the fake offers again ..
May 16, 2018 .. = 32 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which... 10 newly listed today
May 21, 2018 ..........32 fakes listed of which 21 newly listed

amazing that no bidder notices that the Viking "joke" (pic 4) was sold a few weeks ago in similar version from luxeon55.
Attention - Attention - Attention - fake collectors beware. Bulk goods of Cameo-legion-ring-fakes from Bulgaria directly for you. Open your wallet wide, whip out the credit card. You will not find such awful fakes for a second time
After the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" .... we proudly present
the "Viking Fake Horror Picture Show" by uniques77777 under the same motto as the original "let's do the time warp again". The randomly engraved runes of the Viking Furthark (Futhark or Fuþark is the name given to the gem Germanic rune series and its variations) could not yet be deciphered. The meaning is unclear.
Quote from DÜWEL, Klaus (2001): Runenkunde. 3. Auflage. Verlag J.B. Metzler, Stuttgart, Weimar.:
,,Runes are characters of the Germanic language and culture area. They were mainly used in Scandinavia, but also in large parts of mainland Europe, in the British Isles, and on the islands in the North Atlantic from the Roman Iron Age to the Middle Ages (in a small part of Sweden even into the 19th century).
The runic script was based on a Mediterranean alphabet, most of the Latin, in the period around the birth of Christ until the 1st century AD. in the western part of the Baltic (perhaps with suggestions from the Rhine area) created by one or more 'intellectuals' as a means of communication to profane, but also sacred and magical use. "
all fakes blackened with sulfuric liver.
The biggest cheater on ebay can do what he wants. Ebay protects him with "crook-support" (according to ebay customer support :-)). The rest are made by the many uninformed, blind, gullible and ignorant fake collectors.
May 26, 2018......................46 fakes offered of which 18 newly listed
May 27, 2018......................56 fakes offered of which 10 newly listed
57 (fifty-seven) fakes sold within 10 days.
With every fake, the profit of ebay increases. With each fake, the cheaters are more and more protected.
May 31, 2018......................43 fakes offered of which 15 newly listed
It's amazing that there are quite a few buyers on ebay who think Brutus' bronze bust is real. In the past, uniques77777 has sold similar fake of Caesar, Augustus and many other "upper tens" of the Roman Empire. All in bronze, all with a recognizable fake patina.
another courageous buyer who dares to punish the "holy cow" of ebay, namely one of the biggest fraudsters. WELL DONE.
From the feedbacks we can learn that this cheater does not use silver, but cheap silver-colored material. Learn something again. Thank you!
It can still be recorded betting how long these two negative feedbacks ebay are a thorn in the eye.
Attention: seller activated one of his other IDs on ebay "alexander_art_classic" . The negative feedbacks are disturbing his scams
His "franchise" partner dboriko continues to cheat for him too. We assume it's also uniques77777.
19. 6. 2018 ......38 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 14 are newly listed
Whether Viking or Roman - all the same "uniformity".
02. 7. 2018 ......47 fakes listed by uniques77777, of which 14 are newly listed.
The Bulgarian fake workshop is now also working the legion fake pendants as a ring, quasi a legion fake set.
Can anyone even imagine that the buyer of this ring paid $ 1535.00 for a bad fake?
Attention: Uniques77777 restarts due to the many negative feedbacks with the other stores. He is now using "dboriko" : http://ancientartifakes.net/smf/index.php/board.501.0.html
Similar offertext, identical headlines and the same lie, where the artifacts come from.
what ebay does not show............
second pic is the feedback update 4.9.2018
from 22.5. 2018 to 7. 8. 2018 number of fakes sold ...........225
and not a single buyer has noticed
more and more buyers fight back and try to warn other customers.
Despite the numerous negative and neutral feedbacks that urgently warn against the fakes, ebay buyers still buy. What else has to happen until even the most ignorant ebayer wake up?
Attention! Uniques7777 uses now his other ID five_stars_five. He points with his goldfake, which he always likes to present, very brazen even on it. He fears no reprisals from ebay and knows how ignorant and blind the bargain hunters are.
after reactivating his other fake account five_stars_five also visible for our guests
http://ancientartifakes.net/smf/index.php/board,488.0.html ,
he is currently listing a little less with the main ID. After all, he receives a minimum of 1 negative feedback per month. In the many sales, quite a few buyers who recognized the fakes.
Now he's trying to sell Victorian fakes and ............ the naive uniques77777 fans are also falling for this scam. They just need to read the feedbacks. I shake my head in disbelief
now the remaining fakes. If you did not get one, wait - more will come.
amazing - Everyone knows that his items are all fake. Courageous buyers have left negative feedbacks to warn other buyers and still - the run on his fakes is unbroken.

Recycled: yes :-)

Price significantly below the price of ebay.
What is one to say :-)
None are Roman - all from the 20. Century AD.
We can expect more from his Etsy Shop "Karinabgshop".
From 8. 3. 2018 to 3. 6. 2018 number of fakes sold = 369
From 6. 6. 2018 to 2. 9. 2018 number of fakes sold = 326
these pics are from hotcarl5. A new fake seller on our list. He is reselling fakes bought from uniques77777. We informed him accordingly. His last answer below:
from hotcarl5
I will sell my items in the exact manor I purchased them. If you don't like do not bid. Makes no sense how eBay would openly allow this if it is true. Thank you for info, when I have time I will check it out. The appraiser for one of the first rings I purchased must have been stupid as he validated authenticity which was the reason I kept buying. Now, I am parting with collection for my own reasons.

79 fakes listed in a week. I can not believe it. For ebay buyers, these masses of alleged genuine artifacts are normal. :-)
They have completely lost the sense of reality (probably never had). Mass-produced and the .... "here comes to me only something not very understanding" run after the trash. As a German I am relatively stunned. Years ago we had the same problem in Germany. The authorities in DE exerted immense pressure on ebay for selling illegal ancient heritage and fakes. Each seller now had to prove where the artifacts came from. And ebay had to bow to this pressure. The genuine artifacts market has gone out on ebay DE and that's a good thing.
There are still some "black sheeps" but they are the exception. The collectors have again learned to buy directly from reputable dealers, auction houses, etc. This trains the eye and protects the wallet. And those who prefer to hunt bargains buy via ebay UK or US mostly fakes.

Brad.
Due to legal restrictions this item is sold and shipped as replica.............might be added from all sellers worldwide to their shipping documents avoiding shipping troubles for their clients. The export of artefacts, antiques and goods in general will be strictly controlled from 1. 1. 2019. Decisive are probably the threats of Trump.
From now on you can only send such things by parcel, package (consignment). All documents must be clearly visible.Allegedly it should be prohibited from beginning 2019 to send small goods like rings, pendants, chains, bracelets and more in a padded envelope as registered mail. The calculation is: declared goods value = income of customs duty
Unless ......... you send the piece as a replica. Then the commercial invoice and the customs declaration can be enclosed within the consignment (shipment of goods).
It will be carried out globally by the countries belonging to the World Postal Union. The only exceptions are those service companies that have their own operating channels (such as USPS, FeDex, DPD and so on and so forth).
As to the antiquities sale in Germany, Ebay pulled himself out of the loop years ago with an order. If one wanted to sell artifacts on ebay, one had to take a copy of the shopping receipt and present it in a clearly visible way (together with the offered artifact) to the buyer. This has destroyed this market within a short time. Antiquities section no longer exists.
Hurray - uniques77777 has conquered the podium.
Today 27. 1. 2019 ....... 117 fakes listed
Among other rubbish 9 snake rings (not pictured as the usual crap), 11 gilded things and an interesting series of the high nobility of antiquity
Gilded fakes conquer ebay
New strategy of the Bulgarian TOP TEN cheater. Fakes gilded and the ebay bargain hunters fall in droves on it. The brain is switched off, gold blinds the eyes and lets win the greed over the mind .
High live the bargain hunter. The forgers count on them. All tricks are played and they fall into the trap each time. Sometimes I wonder why we still do education. The horde of fools is growing each day.
Current bids on the gilded SPQR...26 bids from 8 bidders. Highest bid $ 298, and still 3 days left. 8 bidders are fighting for a fake. The real winner will be the one outnumbered :-)

the skull was so often sold by uniques7777 that I stopped counting. One casting worse than the other. Now the silver / gold version. This version is the worst of them all and it would have to be so much better, because it's supposed to be half the skull of pure gold. Pure gold??
Seller says: "gold is tested with" "liquid gold tester" "by dripping (((( not rubbed on stone to prevent damage to the item !!! ))))
What an utter nonsense. This skull is not the work of an artist but a gruesome bad cast. More can not destroy one really. And yet, gold makes greedy and buyers pounce on this real crap
By the way, similar silver/gold rings - albeit with different ,,Gold" motifs like skulls,lion-heads,heraldry- and maritime motifs, - are in great demand in Germany. But here no seller dares to offer the gold parts as 23-24 ct pure gold. The offer texts show gold in the headline, but a question mark behind "gold" cleverly leaves the buyer with the interpretation.
For a fraud on the scale of this Bulgarian cheater one needs the US market.
German offer text:
Unikat - Löwenkopfring (unique - Lionheadring)
Silber 835 - Aufgelöteter Löwenkopf ohne Stempel (Material-?)
silver 835 - soldered Lionhead without hallmark (material-?)
then follow a short description with the final sentence.....

To be fair, many sellers offer these types of rings, pendants, etc. honestly as silver with gilded motifs.
It takes a lot of criminal energy and the protection of a corresponding organization to sell these quantities of gold / silver items as genuine. The offer texts dripping with self-praise, lies and repeated assurances that everything is genuine. Now the thousands of fakes are no longer his inheritance, but are bought. Naturally tested. Of course without papers, without provenance.
But a real fake collector overlooks this market-shouting praise of fakes and buys.
By the way, it's absolutely forbidden - to export ancient heritage of any kind from the *Eastern Bloc countries. Every export needs an export license, which has to be presented to customs. Buyers and sellers are liable to prosecution for illegally smuggling genuine artifacts.
Uniques77777 has sold thousands of supposedly genuine artifacts over the years. Most legion rings. Where should these masses come from and above all, why almost only from this seller.
* from other European countries too
all listed in one week............................
that's what I call mockery and downgrading of all collectors to an infant's mental level.
PS. last pic shows same ring as sold already. Now the branch five_stars_five sells same ring but extremely expensive
The biggest fake seller on ebay has no inhibitions at all. He can count on the support of ebay and has a strong criminal organization behind him.
Mass merchandise sold as unique artifacts and the bargain hunter blindly buy any crap
fake ticker 18.2. 2019............................................................current listing consists of 56 fakes.
from that:
12 silver / gold (??) items
20 Rings depicting cameos of kings and emperors of antiquity

Dear buyer,

yesterday a skull with golden left half of the face, today a variation with golden right half of the face.
I dug up a few comparison pictures
Amazing...similar silver ring with skulls sold honestly as modern I found ebay Germany. Compare with the silver and gold (??) fake from uniques77777
uniques77777........... 12 month feedback ratings. Nevertheless, people continue to buy the fakes. It seems, no one looks at the feedbacks before buying.
current listing 4. 3. 2019 consisting of 47 fakes
11. 3. 2019....current listing consisting of 65 fakes, from that
- 7 skull variations

enjoy his listing and learn what you should not buy. By the way, this crook now dates its Viking fakes. Unfortunately, he has made a mistake in dating, he indicates 8th - 9th century, right is 2019 C. AD.
18. 3. 2019................ 68 fakes for sale
uniques77777 sells the whole-sale items from his branch five_stars_five as genuine. I wonder if that is very naughty or just stupid.
Discrepancies between offer text from five_stars_five and product features:
Pendant Memento Mori (from Latin: Remember that you are mortal) is a big movement in the world of culture and art ever since the Gothic art movement in Europe. Memento Mori accessories were highly popular during Victorian England as well. The pendant we have for sale is from that period (1890s - 1910). The skull is very well-made with excellent anatomic detail and correctness. Has rather minor wearing - no dents, no deep scratches. In excellent condition. Quite rare Memento Mori skull pendant from Victorian England. Collectible, decorative and wearable.
Product features:_
handmade - Victorian - mixed material -
Does anyone believe that these mass ware is handmade? or from 1980-1910?
Let the latest feedback score work for you (pic 1) and then rate the fake (news) promotion (pic 2) from ebay. It does not count the honesty of a seller but clearly the mass of items sold and thus, the money that ebay earns with this scam.
Fake ticker....22. 3. 2019..........82 fakes for sale
what's up with the ebay buyers? Does anyone look at the feedbacks before buying?
So does ebay advertise its fake-seller !
The negative feedbacks do not count. The sellers can cheat and sell fakes. No problem for ebay. It is only important that the amount of fakes sold is also lucrative for ebay (10% sales fees) and they are shipped quickly.

Yes, you read that right, really 164 fakes for sale.
We've achieved a lot, but bringing this biggest scam on ebay to hell is impossible. We were able to post a success anyway, uniques77777 does not sell his fakes so well anymore. The prices are usually very low, he is forced to start now with a higher starting price or simply offer a buy-it-now price.
In desperation are now on offer some excessive bronze fakes. For example, an allegedly antique helmet.
I start with the Toolhouse.feedbacks. The pictures follow, even if really the biggest simpleton would have to see that none of the antiques can be real.
Update 30. 5. 2019................229 fakes for sale
update 31. 5. 2019................242 fakes for sale
and despite many negative feedback from customers warning about the fakes, eBay buyers continue to buy. What else can you say about that?
Uniques77777 has changed his outfit. Since ebay with its questionable rules ensures that the negative feedbacks disappear after 1 year from the rating, he can get started again.
The sexy decoy was replaced by a coin. The fake description discreetly postponed and everything starts again from the beginning.
A wolf changes its coat, but not its intention
22.08.2019 actually 204 fakes for sale
our top scammer on ebay uniques77777 has opened a new branch
Seuthes 3 -
https://www.ebay.de/sch/seuthes3/m.html?_ssn=seuthes3
and what i can read from the feedbacks is that the cheated customers are very excited about the fakes.
it looks like uniques77777 has closed its " caught" fake ID.
legiofretensis is the name of the successful account. In old mania, Bulgarian mass-produced goods sold as "real"...with colorful text, lots of gold plating and assuming that the buyer has "zero idea". This strategy works.
therefore, we continue here http://ancientartifakes.net/smf/index.php/topic,1516.msg8999.html#new
