Nicely centered stamp to be sure, but I can print my own certificates too. Doesn't make the stamp worth insane amounts.

Come'on --- you must have laughed first when saw price. I just shake my head now when I see crazy prices like that on an item. I often been tempted to contact these jokers and ask them, "What were you smoking when you priced this item?" Now, I ignore them. Unfortunately, you'll never change them; and get-rich-quick guys have always been in the hobby. Unfortunately, dealers like this are in the same class as dealers who sell fakes as real; they are nothing but thieves. There is another problem -- they make honest dealers look bad -- and all ebay cares about is collecting there % off the top.

What's most amusing about the listing is that this "certified" stamp is NOT an #R134! It's an #R163.

Heh. Good catch. I didn't even pay attention to the wording on the "cert" or the title of the listing. All I saw was a cheap battleship revenue with a homemade "cert" being offered for $100.

Sure it's a nicely centered stamp... which means you MIGHT get someone to pay $5 for it instead of the 15-25 cents it's normally worth.

$100? Hellsno.

I guess the cert is for centering and measuring, not authenticity.

Ask him if it was done by the left side or right side algorithm methodology, as approved by the Bureau of Stamp Standards & Labour, and approved by Her Royal Majesty's Queens Park Rangers and Queens Royal Fusiliers Guard. :>~

This one is another good one. Catalogs minimum value but since it is graded VF78 its $1.75. Not to mention the completely totaled upper right corner.

Not sure the issue, after all he did download and use EZGrader

And this one graded out at superb 98 and you can own it for $100.00

I think we should chip in 1 cent each and buy him a pair of "cheater" glasses; that way he can see what he really has and read a catalog price at the same time! I'll chip in another penny to buy two pairs; the second for 'BargainBill'!
