I know that some of the sources of bogus stamps come from East Europe.
Does this seller seem legit?

"Bogus" is illegitimate issuance by someone who has no real postal service. You can't even say that about (most) issues from Abu Dhabi, Ajman, etc., which is being sold by that seller. Those were made for collectors, but a few were postally used.

I see no forgeries, if that's what you mean.

Do you have a specific item in mind?

I know that those countries issued warnings of stamps bearing their names but weren't issued by them.
Judging from the encyclopedic memory in this forum, as seen on "how's your eye for details", I was hoping that someone would have recognized a bogus one if it appeared on the seller's list.

I checked a few of the listings; all of them were Scott-listed. Very small sample, though. However, it would be hard to detect a forgery - even in my hands. Many of the stamps listed at at the minimum value - so 104 stamps for $4.00 (52 copies of 2 stamps) is not necessarily a bad deal, depending on what you plan to do with the extras: stamp art, stamp club donation, etc...
