Re: How NOT to Buy Fakes - Collector's Guide
I would advise against buying any high end Soviet orders and medals from Russia and the former republics of Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics, Turkey, China, etc. Get the idea?
You would be buying from a complete stranger, and if you received a fake or nothing at all, what are you going to do? Complain to their embassy? Hire a lawyer? How many of you have actually purchased a legitimate high end order from Russia, Ukraine, etc? It is illegal to export such medals. What happens it it is confiscated by their customs? Currently, there is a seller on ebay: Soviet Russian order of Glory 1 class #1971 gold. Item number: 180374505560 Just take a look and laugh! The photos are out of focus, no closeups, the seller is in Lithuania (former Soviet republic), and the set is supposed to be a Cavalier set, yet the serial numbers for this set doesn't match the published information. If you are dumb enough to fall for this, then you deserve to pay for your own stupidity. Being a member of this forum will save you $$$$. If you want to play it safe, deal with reputable dealers and members. |

Re: How NOT to Buy Fakes - Collector's Guide
Also ridiculous that the buyer has to pay the eBay listing fee. And the $113 postage is rather steep...

Re: How NOT to Buy Fakes - Collector's Guide
BTW, the 1st class is a fake. It's quite obvious even from those terrible pictures.
