| Gentlemen,
Although this is one of my more favorite types of threads and often they type where I learn the most about antiques, especially when someone who really knows there stuff is participating it has been noted on several boards lately that it is wiser to comment upon an auction after it has ended due to liability issues. I do not happen to know what Mr. Robinson's stance is on this sort of thread nor presume to speak for him, but it might be something to keep in mind. If someone participating in the auction happens to come here and sees this thread and then tells the seller that they are not going to honor their bid because of something they read on myArmoury that will almost certainly cause the seller to look for recourse against myArmoury. Perhaps it might be better to simply leave this thread as it has been historically, a thread to notify members of myArmoury that something is currently available on ebay. |
There could be people on this forum who could be tempted to bet on suspect items.
I posted that inquiry because I was thinking of investing some of my hard earned euros in one of that items.
Now, in a democratic regime there should be no liability in discussing the quality of an item that is put on sale: I think that accusing the creator of a forum of some misdemeanor for commenting a product would be absurd, freedom of speech being one of the primary tenets of your Constitution (which is better than many european ones, BTW).
What is all too true is that ebay is all too often a safe harbor for scammers, so many online collector forum devote sections just to the discussion of ebay items: discussing item has nothing to do with any slander of he founders of that site, btw.
Money is obtained by most of us through hardwork, so it would be immoral to allow the scammers further loopholes.
Obviously the tone of discussion should be kept within civilized and educated bounds, that's for sure.
As a person who has been ripped off more than one time on ebay I feel the necessity to discuss prospective buys with utmost care.
Doing this with the proper manners would be easy, since this forum seems to be quite a ranquil place.
Bruno: This is not the topic to discuss this. This topic, as mentioned by Russ Ellis, is meant to provide a pointer to eBay auctions. Please stay on topic.

I actually had posted a separate topic in order to discuss such swords, but somebody aggregated my post with this.
Actually I would like to receive help on the matter of spotting fakes, since I abandoned other branch of collecting just because of fakes.
I see that the field of swords and armor is also plagued by the same disease.
I may understand the need for a civilized discussion, obviously, just I do not understand why a civilized discussion about pieces being sold on a auction website should be that dangerous.
One thing is to give an expertise, another is to give an opinion.
When one has to decide wether to shed some hundreds or thousands of dollars on the ground of some so and so pcs and the words of an internet nickname, the asking of the nonbinding opinions of other people is far from being immoral, I hope.
If you wished to create a thread just to educate people on the identification of likely fakes it would just be an appreciable move in my humble opinion.

You are welcome sir, hey Bruno I'll start another thread in a moment, not to discuss any particular auction but to talk about the vagaries of why it might not be a good idea. :)
That one makes me sick. This is his second time around on it and the first time out he started it at $75.00 no reserve. I had it marked in my ebay and sure enough forgot about it and wouldn't you know no one bid on it. Enjoy to who ever ends up winning.
Chad - interesting that your post had two links:
- one to the ebay auction, where the book actually sold for $6.99;
- the other to the myArmoury.com Bookstore link with Amazon, where it was listed for sale at only $4.99! (I bought one)
Moral to the story - there are some good deals to be had via the myArmoury.com Bookstore link.
