fukuoka Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Just received this email from an astute viewer:Hi Rich.I want to warn youThis is a copy, a fake!http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h182998608http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m115158838Elfard94 bought them herehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/281212857917?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649#ht_84wt_914http://www.ebay.com/itm/281208181833?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649#ht_188wt_1171These medals are made by Gennady Egoshin from Stavropol Russia.Sold only as a copy. They are made method of casting. Their diameter is smaller than the original 1.5 mm.The re-seller is of course well aware of them being replicas.By the way, aren't these replicas (fakes) well-done?

fukuoka Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sorry didn't remember that thread.Looking closely, it is easy to see they are fakes.Not as well-done as I first thought.Too bad they are being re-sold as originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Too bad they are being re-sold as originals. You said it Rich! P.S. And again we hear this rediculous execuses "Sold only as a copy", "He sells them only as a copy" ... And even more rediculous "specifications" like diameter, thickness and weight. Like somebody really need these to detect such low-class fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taganrog Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 P.S. And again we hear this rediculous execuses "Sold only as a copy", "He sells them only as a copy" ... And even more rediculous "specifications" like diameter, thickness and weight. Like somebody really need these to detect such low-class fakes. It not ridiculous excuses. . This is the position of the seller (Egoshin) This description of a fake. Ridiculously only to you to one. Why discuss the manufacturer? He writes honestly that sells fake. It is good quality or not - it does not matter. The problem is quite different. ! The problem is written in the title of this article. Richard topic called: "fakes being resold as authentic on YahooJapan" I think that this topic should not talk about "bad" seller of the Russian Federation (Egoshin), and talk about the "good" from the auction YahooJapan (elfard94), which writes about fakes that they are originals?

JapanX Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) He writes honestly that sells fake This fellow of yours honestly manufactures and sells fakes. Fakes and not copies, because copies should have "replica"/"copy" inscription on reverse. Ridiculously only to you to one. Actually for everyone who has eyes I think that this topic should not talk about "bad" seller of the Russian Federation (Egoshin), and talk about the "good" from the auction YahooJapan (elfard94), which writes about fakes that they are originals? Bottom line - very "good" russian makes this crap and sells it as "copies" and very "bad" elfard94 is reselling this crap as original pieces.
