One of several shysters doing a hell of an online business ripping people off. Never a shortage of truly benighted buyers who think they're getting authentic stuff for pennies on the dollar (in many cases). Other Decorative Category on ebay a clearinghouse for all souvenir shop purchases morphed into genuine antiquities. No laws being broken unfortunately, and gullibility both universal and timeless.

Leon Culley in UK is one of the biggest sellers of fakes on eBay.

See here to see examples of his fakes sold under various eBay IDs

Now selling as AncientHistoryLTD

This is sadly quite funny.

I often wonder what  Mr Mujtaba Mir feels when he gets glowing feedback like this.
I wonder if he has a slight sense of guilt...or is he simply a sociopath?

The BIG problem  with Mr Pedersen is that he says that NOBODY can say any of his items are a fake unless they examine the things carefully in person. But this is rubbish as so many of the fakes he has sold are VERY OBVIOUSLY FAKE, and anyone with good knowledge of ancient artefacts can say that for sure from only looking at the photos. For example take a look at some of the fake scarabs he sold!!! (Photos shown here from postings above)

The really big problem with this seller (a Mr Pedersen)is that he is so convinced he knows sufficient about ancient artefacts that he simply never has sold a fake! So if a buyer contacts him to say unfortunately he has sold them a fake Mr Pedersen will not accept this. He demands written evidence from a specialist museum curator  which is impossible to get! And surely he knows that.
