jaykza Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just saw a fake Schultz Xenozoic listing on Ebay. I know because I have it. Messaged seller and his dimensions are way off. Refers to the piece as a "picture." Reported already but there are 5 ppl currently watching so just in case they're on the boards... https://www.ebay.com/itm/392404545183?ul_noapp=true Unca Ben and AnkurJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new post was different seller who used images from the prior listing as well as description replacing "original art" with "picture". This is why I requested the dimensions of the piece.

jaykza Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just wondering, if anyone knows, why would anyone do this? Wouldn't the buyer just cancel the charge through their credit card if they received something nowhere close to advertised? How is something like this worth it?

BCarter27 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I don't think publicly posting how this could be faked is a good idea. But maybe someone more knowledgeable than I could PM you. Edited August 30, 2019 by BCarter27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe someone more knowledgeable than I could PM you. I can understand fakes or forgeries and how this may fool a subset of buyers. In this case, the seller is using legitimate images which would result in the buyer likely receiving a framed photocopy or just a photocopy. This would be immediately obvious and result in a cancelation of the transaction, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
