Tail light guarantee. What does that mean, please? If fake, I would have thought the current high bidder at $500 would have a deeper knowledge of these  Are peoples disposable incomes so high, to bid on a hunch / trust? Ah! solved The taillight guarantee means that your support ends when your refractory contractor's truck pulls out of your lot at the end of the job. |

What does the "H" stand for in the title?
I could not see it mention in NY stamps glossary.

Hinged. If it was genuine it might matter, but it's a rather obvious fake. Letters too thin and too pale, stamp shade incorrect for the genuine provisional. |

Hinged. I thought so, I find it blindingly deceitful, how vendors offer a used stamp and quote Mint unhinged prices. I am presuming the $12,500 is the price for a fresh mint stamp. How these companies get away with continual irregularities beats me. The ugly side of Philately. |

"As is" seems to be a euphemism for "it's damaged and very likely fake, but go ahead and buy it if you want it". |

It is an insane price to pay for an obvious fake. The stamp has no chance of being genuine. |

 This one, listed as a R158a reproduction (see the printing dots) sold 10 days earlier for $41.98 by lotsastamps with 3 bidders. The copy in the OP had 8 bidders. Quote:

It's the same cat, mint or used. It's really quite a scarce stamp. Regarding 2021 Scott Catalog, R158a mint is $15,000 and used just $12,500 with both prices for just F-VF. |

So a $12,000 stamp with no cert starts at one penny...….. Whoever "won" it deserves it. Sorry. |

Same seller has several state revenues listed with bogus cat values. This is not unusual at all for them. Correct cat numbers, but fantasy valuations. SC BL47 Mint; cat $10; eBay lot lists $40 PA ST8 Used (actually ST27); cat $17.50; eBay lot lists $90 |

The start bid can be a penny. The point is that if somebody thinks that a $12,000 stamp is on eBay with no cert and a penny opens it and it is actually genuine they have been drinking too much grain alcohol while inhaling paint thinner fumes. IMHO |
