Is everything from this seller fake?

Unread post by chamino101 »

Hi all,

I'm hoping to get some other opinions on this seller's items:

http://myworld.ebay.com/cassidybrozgal

Background:
- Seller has 0 feedback.
- Claims "my other account was hacked."
- Claims "I've been collecting for many, many years."
- The seller seems to have complete cast signatures of all of the shows that are almost impossible to find.
- Their prices are extraordinarily low. For example, complete LOST cast for $70 instead of $600 like everyone else.

I originally bid on the LOST piece they had for sale, but after carefully examining the two most legible signatures, they clearly did not match any other known signatures of those people anywhere on the internet. Also, their story of how it was signed was fishy ("I sent it to the set, and six months later it was mailed back to me signed by everyone.") I got a refund. But I feel bad because others are bidding on some of their items.

I've looked at several other of their listings and they seemed to be forged too. For example, they had a signed "Hangover" cast picture, and the Bradley Cooper looked so bad. As did the Zach Galifianakis.

I'm just curious if you think that every item they have listed is forged? It seems that perhaps they have some legit signatures, and they forge the rest to get a "complete" cast signature.

When in doubt, friend, don't.

Besides a great many signatures on ebay being fake anyway, I would be very distrustful of someone who says his account was hacked and has zero feedback at this time. Does he provide his other screenname so you can compare notes?

And, you are correct, that it is very possible for one signature to be authentic with everything else being filled in by someone else. Getting a cast photo authentically signed through the mail by sending it to the set is not impossible but it's unlikely, especially as "Lost" was quite popular for awhile.

Looks very fake. I looked at the Zooey Deschanel autograph that this person was selling, looks fake to me!

You answered it yourself, they are forged. Plus an 11x17 Green Day poster signed by the whole band for $30? Really? Stay away for sure

Fake, Fake, Fake! Look at that horrible Eliza Dushku forge. WOW, the hesitation is so bad!

It's almost fun going through this seller's listings and looking at how bad the autographs are. I've reported several to eBay but I'm sure they don't give a darn. The same seller continues to sell completely fake stuff on eBay, getting good feedback from clueless individuals. Man, that is a lucrative business, it costs him dollars per photo shipped, and he's making $75-$100 per photo. You can see the attraction to it!
