Re: EBay Photos -Seller Beware

If the same photo was indeed sold 3 times then there are several possibilities. The most obvious one is that the seller is taking modern reproductions and makes them look old to sell them as original wartime prints.
But it's also possible that:
- the seller bought a lot of photos who belonged to the same serviceman who happened to have 3 wartime prints made from the same negative
- the seller didn't get paid the first 2 times the photo was sold
- the seller is using another account to increase the price of the photo (shill bidding) but he ended up buying his own photo twice before
