Hey all,
Came across this auction on Ebay. What do you guys think?

Hi I was just going to post the same DK! I have about 10 photos the seller sent me,From just looking at the photos it looks ok ,but would like a insp. and money back guarantee first!

[David R.]

More photos I only can get one photo at a time to load!!

[Brian S]

Zero feedbacks and a money back guarantee sounds reassuring??? Buy the one on Joe D's site, it's real and you really do get a guarantee. Only 1,100 of these to awardees.

[Dez H]

Sounds like bait and switch to me.

[Brian S]

Dez, what do you see going on there?

[Dez H]

Brian; Pictures are not the best, but I don’t see anything wrong with this DKiS, Zero feedback is an instant red flag for me. Maybe I too suspicious but something this expensive from someone I don’t know, I would want to go and pick it up in person or get a good friend to do it before I lay my money down. Might end up with a $1,500 Latvian clunker. On the other hand this person could be perfectly honest and someone could end up with a nice DK!

[Brian S]

Yeah, I'm with you on that. This would have to be a person to person handoff for me also. Zero feedback and I don't know the person, no way.

Similar fear when I saw a really nice Hohenzollern medal for sale. Well, it looked nice but the photo was a little fuzzy and I couldn't get better photos. Also zero feedback. Wrote the guy and he told me he was using a new userid for this sale...

Yikes.

An hour before the auction closed and zero bids, he sends me a better photo.

One of those nice modern fakes of the medal. He was just dumping it and didn't care if he got a negative.

Red flags, yes, but red flags based on experience, eh Dez?

[Dez H]

Yeah I got burned about 6 months ago on ebay with a 57 RK, pictures were of a nice early piece with wartime frames, what I got was one of the nasty .925 marked pieces that are currently coming out of England. Seller’s response was “well you can’t prove I sent you the wrong piece.”



Yes once bitten twice shy.

[Brian S]

Not to mention it takes better photos than these to determine if a '20' is good these days. That's the one with the best copy. At least I can't.
