are these selling for low prices? Or is it just the initial listing price?

[R MICHAEL]

That one IMHO is a fake...

Ebay.de WAS a good place to buy photos inexpensively a few years ago. But in the last year at least the prices have gone thru the high end. Not saying one doesn't get a deal every so often.

Care to make a wager on that photo, Mike? Where do you live in Indiana?

They're selling in that range: 1-5 euro.

Well I am not a gambling man but judging by the yellowish color and the scalloped edges it has all the hallmarks.

Did you pick it up from ebay.de? If so I would love to see better scans as I am allways looking to expand my knowledge base.

If they are selling in that range then they ARE good deals.

I'm from Chicago.

It's genuine photo Mike. Most of the stuff there is legit.

Why spend $20 for a fake when you can buy an original, interesting photo for much less.

I will buy it and send it to you for your reference.

No need Christopher. I agree I have bought a fake or two but always unkowningly. My feeling on the scallops are they are to small of a repeating pattern, very simular to those KGB fakes from the Ukraine. I do notice that the leading edges are "bumped" down a bit to minimize the effect of the pattern. It does have me curious as to why you feel it is original.

As an interested observer on the photo in question I would also like to learn.

I also think it has the fake hallmarks of a Ukrainian birth.

Hi there!

Yes, one need not look far to see fake (copies) photos. Perhaps our resident photo expert might like to chime in on the fake photo issue.

There are some "interesting" photos on e-stand now.

Christopher,

I agree with Mike it has all the hallmarks...these days you have to be careful....prices are climbing especially for those photos with high profiles FJ SS, RKT's and of SUDEK interest!! Fakes are fast becoming the norm. I have returned photos that were advertised as original only to find out they are repros. The prices they are selling for is not a reflection on whether they are original or not. I do not recommend you promote them and leave it to the buyer...it's also not good to list live auctions and photos that do not belong to you...unless the items being sold are unquestionably fake or as an example stolen images like what happen to me and several other WAF members. just my two cents.

Not a calling out or step outside challenge but I would like to know which are the "interesting" ones and why.

If there are good fakes please pass on the information or start a discussion thread on the photos in question.
