Irv, Wouldn't you agree that the educational quality of this Forum might be greatly enhanced by at least mentioning some of your red flags?
Rgds, Thomas |

As would being able to share pictures of the offending item instead of an ebay link which will eventually become worthless when the images vanish form there. I know forum rules prohibit this but....

There is a thread which explains it all better than I could.
http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=43674 This was just a 'Heads up' post. But if you want a couple of red flags:- Badge is fake/restrike, stitching on the inside is wrong for WW2 and that is just from the pictures he has posted. Read the link to the thread if you are interested. |

One of the many pitfalls of eBay as we know it today is that bidders are hidden from each other, and we are now unable to offer advice to bidders. I don’t recall when the change came about, and only had one minor negative experience where another bidder on an item I was interested in messaged me to say ‘it’s mine’, which only served to encourage me as a buyer.
I don’t believe many buyers search the eBay community forums for advice on items, and I’ve never found on-going discussions around live auctions. Wouldn’t it be good for bidders, and spectators to offer their penny’s worth on a live chat box one each and every auction? Sean

The person who won the auction has (0) feedback. They have started on the long road of 'Gaining knowledge'!
It is a shame that you can't email bidders to warn them. An expensive first lesson. The good news is it wasn't one of us (I hope). Regards Irv |
