Toy with him. Buy it. Paypal will protect you. When he can't deliver, then report him to the Hipstamp fraud folks (if such exists). |

Hipstamp does have the ability to report a user for abuse of site conditions (although never tried it myself, so no idea whether it goes anywhere meaningful). |

Robert, I am glad you still have it. I know it has your tag on the photo but life has it's moments sometimes. Especially with "friends" you trust.
It's amazing, he did not even take the time to crop the photo to eliminate the similar 3 tell tale remnants it contains. The perfs above, the writting, and the piece of paper at bottom right.
Love John's idea too! |

Hi Robert, How did he get a higher resolution image than the one you posted in the thread? The one here is 252 × 192 but the one on HS is 651 x 501. The one on HS does not look like it has been enlarged. Did you post or send this image to anyone else? Don |

Robert...do you recall who sold you that stamp?...any chance it is the same seller on HipStamp?...who may be unaware that the stamp already has been sold. |

I am with graphis on this one. At this very moment I have in "My ebay" a stamp that I bid on last October but was listed twice by mistake. I need to leave feedback on this, but did not win the item. No one seems to be willing to remove this. Peter |

I think this may be the definition of "subject to availability" that I see on a lot of net-price dealers sale pages (non-ebay).  |

I offered a non-philatelic item for sale in another internet place 2 days ago and just realized that I no longer own it. I have apologized to everyone and got some great positive responses. So I know it happens. |
