Default Seller Good or Bad???

I was looking through some badges being offered by eBay seller, josordoni, and see some known fakes, but some that look good. Does anybody know anything about this seller? I don't remember any previous discussion about him, and apologize if I've missed it.

Thanks,

Terry

Mentioned in passing in this thread: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ight=josordoni

Seems that the opinion there is that he sells a mixed bag (which echo's what you said in your original posting)

Generally Ok; does put in a disclaimer that what he sells is not known to be original or fake. Like any seller, best to know what you are looking at.

Terry he buys auction lots, so there is good amongst the bad keeps what he is after and sells on at a start price of £0.99p, as stated he gives a disclaimer on originality which is fair, havechad some nice badges and at a reasonable price some well polished worn badges! Not had any regrets from him - you get what you buy, worth keeping an eye on his site! Mostly run off the mill badges but sometimes some nice badges turn up!

All the best billy
