More William Langs Lack Of Ethics...

The color isn't even close. I see his listings on ebay and really never even give them a 2nd look as his prices are outrageous. He does post some very rare and beautiful items, but you will pay dearly for them. This should be a lessen to all when buying a certain shade of a certain color which is more valuable......Get a certificate when the difference is $200 between shades, and if not assume the worse case scenario. You would think that a seller with over 20 thousand listing currently, would know better..

William Langs DOES NOT own the ebay sites Earlyretire with the name Mark Lane Stamps or stukatz-stamps.
I own the site stukatz-stamps and my wife & I maintain the site Earlyretire for Mr. Robert Simpson of Mark-Lane stamps.

Thank you,

Stu Katz

Welcome to SCF, Stu. Here you will find a wide array of collectors from around the world. Additionally, you will find references to, and reviews of, ebay sites and sellers.

Perhaps you could take the time to properly introduce yourself as well as clarify who the following sellers and sites are:

Stu Katz
William Langs
Mark Lane/Early retire

I have purchased items from all 3 and the items all come from the same address in New Hampshire. I have no complaints about quality or service, but I feel my comment was accurate ... they are all the same person and/or business.

Has anyone complained to ebay about Lang? A clear attempt to rip off the unwarey?

I wouldn't go that far, Joe. It's possible he put the wrong photo on the listing, used a scanner that changed the color of the image he used, or any number of other reasons. The best thing to do is to point it out to him. If he does nothing about it, then go to ebay.

I've purchased US stamps from Stu Katz - both from his ebay offerings as well as from approvals many years ago. I have been 100% happy with every single purchase ... excellent quality, price and service.

Thanks, Stu!
