Generally, I agree, Tim...ask before you buy.  However, I’ve actually had this happen twice before. I put an eBay item up for discussion that I was interested in.  It then ended up being purchased before, by someone else, before I got back to it.  That doesn’t mean it was someone here who did it.  But it can make you a bit nervous about posting for opinions first

It’s probably more risky when it’s a Buy It Now situation which is what happened to me.

Totally agree...learn the sig, and PMing is a good idea if you’re worried it might get snatched.

I understand ur concern

u might want to in that case try the psa 10 $try so u don't tip your hand

if I  an amazing piece comes up I just grab 

it and do m homework after because it will get gobble up in 2 seconds if real

I love the buyer protection for that reason

I suggest to reach out to Richard Booth. He is a member here and knows Elton's signature extremely well. Here's a link to his profile.

These are bad fakes IMO

What are the major flaws in the signatures?

I don't know these signatures but both might appear shaky and uncertain.

It's a shame that people have to resort to this sort of thing.

What sort of thing? Did you try to friend Richard Booth and get his opinion. He knows Elton John's signature extremely well. I see the shakiness that Eric is referring to. Here is my Elton for comparison. Note the difference.

What sort of thing is that? You asked for opinions and you have received them - for free I might add. Is there a problem? JoeW is correct - Richard Booth is very familiar with these signatures.

I do not need to know these signatures well to see shakiness, uncertainty and hesitation. Look how they present.

Or did you mean forgery (If that is what this is)? I might have misunderstood you...
