Currently messaging a seller about their authenticity and they have replied with some of these points. Was hoping someone on here could take a look and let me know how they feel about these replies to some of my queries as to whether they seem dodgy or not. I haven't involved my questions as the answers kind of speak for them selves.

- I am registered at Companies House. Just because I trade 100% on eBay does not mean I have no official presence.

- There are hundreds, if not thousands of autographs collectors in the UK alone. UACC (and by extension AFTAL) has around 200 members. Not everyone wants to be part of their association. Some people, and I include myself in this, prefer to be completely independent. There is no law that states you have to be a member, that would be a dictatorship (which some people refer to it as anyway).

- Two points in one here. The reason my prices are so low is because I obtain almost all my eBay stock through the mail. They have not been 3rd party authenticated. But who says something has to have an inflated price? There are no restrictions on my auctions, if something sells for £0.99p then so be it. At the end of the day something is only worth what someone else wants to pay. All insisting something is too cheap does is inflate the value of their own stock.

- I dont have an inexhaustible supply of autographs. I literally sell a handful a day, between 5-8. They are literally hundreds of sellers on eBay that have thousands of autographs up for sale at any one time, so I'm not really sure what point they're trying to make here.

- As previously stated, I obtain a giant majority of my ebay sale items through the mail, through management companies, agencies, PR companies, etc. The precise details are stated on the COA. I dont rely on my online reputation, or convince you my word is stronger than oak, etc. I give you cold hard facts of where it was obtained, rather than asking you to take my word for it.

It would be best to show us a specific autograph you are interested in offered by this seller. The above means little concerning authenticity. It always comes down to the ink.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Its this guy who has been mentioned on here before and not in a good light: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/cupids10/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_...

That probably is a big red flag to stay away. 

I know but I thought I would challenge him to see what kind of a response I would get and see if he could maybe redeem himself or shed a better light but each answer just seems off/desperate.

Definitely avoid, most of the names I see and his completed listings are all not authentic IMO

He's either a forger or working with one. All of his autographs are signed by the same person.
