Hi guys, just had a look at the above auction,never seen so much crap for sale,however do these auction houses get away with selling obvious fakes,it wouldn't happen in an art auction I'm sure.and yet still people buy this trash,the trouble is a couple of years time we all know they will be for sale as genuine, Mike c

This auction was mentioned in an earlier thread, the saying "only fools rush in" applies . . !

The annoying thing is they will be offered as originals in the future.

A lot of rubbish but some nice pieces. Due to the wonders of thesaleroom.com still waiting to see if I won this 3 dot Paddington Rifles or it went to a room bidder.

I’m more than happy with the two genuine badges I won and it pleased with their quick arrival.
