Re: Caveat emptor
Is it me or are many of the starting prices on eBay now way way above what they should be? Also, some sellers describe what they are selling as something they are clearly not in a hope to get the less knowledgeable to bid? For example a buy it now photo of the tail & rear fuselage of a Do 17 no date, unit or details so nothing special at all….buy it now for €129.98….€15 postage…..plus VAT outside EU!

Re: Caveat emptor
Occasionally, sellers use "copy protection" that simply cancels the sample photo, no details can be discerned. Like this recent example:

Re: Caveat emptor
It definitely is. Empty period photo albums have a good selling value on eBay, for a purpose...

Re: Caveat emptor
I noticed a new trend lately, certain (few) eBay sellers offer reproduction photos at exorbitant prices, probably hoping that no one would think that a cheap repro would be offered at such a high price, so it *must* be an original photo. Starting price a mere EUR 379,99. Plus EUR 15,95 shipping price (to EU) on the top.
Here is one such example: https://www.ebay.de/itm/353720857855...K&LH_Auction=1

Re: Caveat emptor
This is becoming increasingly frequent especially with sellers setting ridiculously high prices. I have just paid $560 for 300 photos from Poland, BofF and BoB including postage and insurance-a far better price I believe
