Yesterday the Seller tianning1206 listed a bunch of swords, some repos, some look ok. I cant help thinking that the pictures of the swords are old Showa22 photos. It is especially suspicious that the seller only put a one day timer on the auctions. What do you guys think?

Scam listings, they are showa22 auctions with photos edited to look like different lighting. I think the real winners are the handpainted oil "artworks", true investment pieces....

Fraud, I have no doubt. Anyone who bids, note that you are never getting that sword.
Odd, he really went out of his way to build feedback. This must be a high level operation. Bet he is going to hit eBay with a ton of fraudulent stuff in a short space of time, and max the takings.

Weird assortment of stuff for sale. This guy is bizarre.
And yes..agree. He (they) spent a LOT of time using photoshop or lightroom to try and alter the pics just a little bit. Sophisticated.
Posts his email on his store page.

The cat general painting even has a higher starting price than a buy it now option, not to mention the shipping cost https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-painting-animal-Portrait-HD-Print-on-Canvas-Art-Deco-General-cat-12x16inch/272731310766?hash=item3f800d8aae:g:kNAAAOSwTf9ZTG~v

 

Hopefully this seller is shut down sooner rather than later, last thing we need is more snakes on ebay

The "works of art" are a bizarre selection...it just gets stranger and stranger.  Most of this stuff is so rediculous, when you factor everything together, that it proves little treat to even the mildly informed.  I do feel badly for the completely unprepared, but people must take some responsibility for themselves.  So, for the billionth+ time...both shopping on Ebay without knowledge of what you are buying and performing major surgery at home, could end badly.  SURPRISE!
