I posted a while back about sellers on ioffer.com who are supplying LARGE amounts of autographs to buyers/sellers with "Celebrity Access" COA's. You can read that interesting article here:

A few years ago, I contacted Rolf Ramseier regarding getting helping to close down an ebay seller (ID: luckyduckrachelle) based in Canada, who, when questioned, explained to me that her supplier was Der Autogramme Makler. As Rolf explained, Der Autogramme Makler is a massive forger who they'd been trying to stop. As proof, I bought any old autograph from this seller (a Sarah Jessica Parker for US$9) and it came with a "CelebrityHounds" COA signed by vice pres Steve Jarvis. The gold bordered blank COA paper can be bought from any good office supplier for AU$12 a pack of 25 sheets. These autographs were home printed on thin paper measuring a strange 8.5 x 11 inches (but described as 8x10's). They were selling like hotcakes at the time and through a seller check I was able to see she was making UPWARDS of US$5000 per month. As to ebay's policy before being taken down, a copy of the COA had to be displayed in the gallery description. Although she kept selling for almost one more year before "disappearing" and soon after I was able to find two more ebay sellers, all based in Canada (possibly luckyduckrachelle and friends again) and they were also taken down. I have hopefully added the photograph of the autograph and COA, purchased as proof a few years back. Although it COULD be a coincidence, the similarity of signatures (style) and choice of COA is surprisingly close. CelebrityHounds...Celebrity Access... (celebvipaccess)… ???

However, I've noticed, as explained in the link at the beginning that a great deal of fakes are being sold in "bulk negotiations" to Australian AND US autograph sellers via offer.com. Here are just some sellers and buyer/sellers that are causing a great deal of this influx.

As far as I know theses sellers all use Celebrity Access COA's (and are similar to Der Autogramme Makler's "style" ). Check their reviews to see how extensive their sales to Australia (and elsewhere) is:

Obviously "trust" of suppliers, and laziness, lack of education and plain stupidity could be a factor in these sales, but the sad fact is, someone's making money, someone's being ripped of and the market gets filled little by little with more rubbish. 

Hopefully someone here has a little more time to pin down ioffer as I seem to be facing walls at every turn. 

Enjoy!
