eBay and Other On-Line Dreamers - A Photo Lot Compendium

He forgot the "chewed by mice" part of the description.

Some of you may have heard of Robin Hood, the figure of legend from Nottingham who stole from the rich to give to the poor.
It seems he has a successor, fraocon84, who is trying to steal from the stupid & give to himself.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-Rare-Australian-Stamp-Collection/174572873569

This lot of 5 ruined KGV Heads is apparently in Extremely Fine condition, issued in the decade 1901-1910, and worth £800.

Wrong on all counts.

His other listings are equally deluded, including the obligatory 2c Red Washingtons, without which no dreamer's listings are complete.

The above link is quite good for a laugh.
This junk is yours for only £3500 if you buy it now - quick! Before the bidding goes past that!

And the description is barely literate:

"Rare stamps of the world Full Album Stanley Gibbons . Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class recorded next day delivery Royal mail service fully insured 07523963325 don't miss out on the best deal online stamp album some of the times you see have errors, they are genuine and extremely RARE stamps don't miss out on them... You will never get to see one again pick also available"


Or how about this rare George 6th for only £400?

He has 165 items listed, all completely worthless.
He has ONE feedback as a seller. And it's negative.

PS. He's now reduced the 'rare Australia' above to only £400.

This is a strange one: well-versed seller oas-cny with more than 10,000 sales has a Belgian Congo stamp on offer for USD 499.00 while he correctly states in his description a catalogue value of USD 8.00 for a MH stamp.

USA stamp Franklin 1 c green with - the only one in the world!!!

USA Postage Stamp - Franklin 1 c green ultra R ! error. Worldwide free shipping - priority

The stamp is certainly authentic because it comes from the collection of a great philatelist and, to be sure, it was shown to other people with very great knowledge, who, after careful examination in this ultraviolet X-ray, confirmed its authenticity. It does not have a certificate because there is no person in Poland who would have the authority to issue it, and when I sent an inquiry to your US stamp expert living in Germany, I have not received any reply to this day, although several years have passed. Thank you for your attention and best regards.
Feel free to watch my other auctions because I am starting to sell a large collection of stamps from all over the world that I have been collecting all my life but today unfortunately I have cancer and I am very short of funds for treatment.

"The only one in the World" - Yeah, keep telling yourself that sunshine.

[fromdownunder]

I will give adams80 an "A" for ambition and effort, even though he has boring and useless descriptions, and an A+++ for being a dreamer who must have spent a fair bit of time on his listings. Here is one, pulled at random from his list:

Price EUR 1,350.00

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Francobolli-USa/284135533414?has ... Sw-JRf8MmR


Not just a garden variety dreamer with half a dozen stamps, he has no less than 271 stamp items for sale, all overpriced like this one, and all containing a minimum of two photos taken at different angles of each lot. I wonder just how many hours he wasted lovingly laying out, photographing and listing all these lots. Obviously pricing took no time at all. He just made a figure up.

All for nothing.

Here is his complete stamps listing:

https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Stamps/260/m.html?item=284135533 ... sn=adams80

ETA: my humble little thread, originally posted just as a query as to why people are like this will turn 14 this year. Who woulda thunkit?

Norm

[Waffle]

Norm, I would have offered him 30-50 cents for the posted stamps, one post back, on this thread. That is a top of the line offer! and generous to a fault.

[The Pom]

The delusion is spreading. Maybe it's carried by covid. That said, this seller is in Italy, which has always been a bit of a dreamer stronghold.

adams80 wants 300 Euro's for these 6 worthless stamps, two of which are Austrian, not Australian. Postage is a bargain 20 Euro's on top.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Francobolli-Australia/284136476873

Their other listings are equally barking mad, including the apparently obligatory USA 2c red Washington.

[The Pom]

The delusion virus has just spread to Spain, and has infected ebayer manuelras09, who is now suffering from a nasty case of utter cluelessness.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUSTRALIA-STAMP-Sello-George-VI-1938-2-1-2/124472959457

Stamp worthless when in perfect condition? Check.

Stamp in terrible condition? Check.

Comical price? Check.

Daft postage cost? Check

Obligatory 2c Washington? You bet.

As always, their other listings are equally deranged.

[philder65]

Delusion will probably never be cured by a vaccine.
Seller pasm_2108 could use such medical aid.

He offers 23 Belgian stamps for the small sum of GBP 50.00.

Unfortunately for the seller the stamps can be found in any Belgian bin and are as such worth a combined 23 eurocents ... if you feel magnanimous.

Another fresh member of the Delusional Guild.

Seller (?) searowa30 is trying to get rid of two rare 3 Ore Norwegian stamps at the very competitive price of GBP 4,000.

The additional description is worth a laugh: Norway Norge Stamp 3 ORE post shaded stamps x 2
please refer to code prices online per 1 stamp- so you can get an idea of individual Value
I will sell both for £6,700 - either to a serious collector or someone who fancies making a profit at auction
No silly offers

No indication as to which year these stamps are dating from.
Anyhow the 3 Ore is at best worth 30 Euro per stamp when from 1887 or zero if from 1910. (One can note a penciled 56 on the back of one stamps, which would make this the 1893 stamp worth some Euro 15)
As to rareness, even the most expensive variety was printed 4 million times.
With regards to shades, could be a different engraving (which changed over the years) ...

Please notice the novel presentation, on a cigarette pack.

This silly seller is not even worth a silly offer.

But seriously, who would display a four-figure stamp like that?

[philder65]

I don't know if this member of the "No Silly Offers" gang has ever graced these illustrious pages, but if not then he's a worthy addition.

cosworthvsevo, the sensei of the Delusional branch of the higher mentioned gang asks for an eye-watering GBP 250,000 for some very common junk.

The description ( Stamp collection. From various country have more than what’s posted. I have had some of these valued I know what there worth no silly offers.) warns us that there is more rubbish on offer.

I don't know where these people get their valuations, but I'm sure that the valuers in question all have a great aversion of catalogues and knowledge. Maybe the word catalogue gives them a rash?

The stamp is certainly authentic because it comes from the collection of a great philatelist and, to be sure, it was shown to other people with very great knowledge, who, after careful examination in this ultraviolet X-ray, confirmed its authenticity.

Hungary 1959 Luna 1-Luna 2 unique modification Read description R!

Dear friends, I would like to offer you one of the rarest and most interesting stamps in the world. Well, the Russians once sent the Luna 1 probe to the moon and the Hungarians issued a stamp No. 1 in the photo on this occasion. Then the Russians sent the Luna 2 probe to the moon, but because the probes looked identical, the Hungarians came up with the idea to add only the exact time of landing on the moon to the previously issued stamp and this is how the stamp with the Luna 2 probe was added to my photo No. 2. It is the only known modification of this type philatelic in the world.
If you are wondering why someone who has collected stamps all his life gets rid of such a unique item, I answer, I have two diagnosed cancers and the drugs are incredibly expensive so I have no other option.
I hope I didn't bore you and if there are mistakes in the text, I apologize because I don't know English so I use google translator.
If my price seems too high to you, use the "best offer" option and make your own offer.
If you need more photos or information, please write and I will be happy to help.
Refunds are possible if you receive not what you bidding.

Phil, I love it when people like this add a scan of a stamps with a ruler next to the item which is supposed to mean something. It is something that seems to be getting trendy with the dreamer set.

They don't know what it means but they do it anyway. Maybe it looks "scientific" I think they have seen listings with perf gauges and don't know what they are looking at, so a ruler is the next best thing. So they have one, or buy one and add this important accoutrement to their listing.
