Ebay Seller - Losangelesrocks92684

[Aggie87]

Has anybody purchased any items from this seller before? They seem to deal exclusively in autographed LP covers. They do a serious volume of business apparently, and have a high (99%+) feedback rating.

I just wonder if the autographs are all authentic. Alot of them seem to be from similar sharpie markers, in various colors. But the actual autographs that I've looked at seem to look like the real deal.

Here's one with Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughn, Max Roach, Benny Goodman, Earl Hines. It's at $152, with about 4 days to go.

I'm curious because alot of these don't seem to get any bids, but others get some bidding wars.

Those jazz signatures do not look right.

I have autographs of Count Basie and the one here looks like a bad imitation.

The Louis Armstrong signature is not even close, here is a genuine one:

And the Benny Goodman signature looks very much like the Armstrong one!

Also the Miles Davis signature does not look like the ones I have seen.

Maybe Christern could help here.

I'ld stay away from that item!

I dunno beans about autographs, but the first item I checked was this, and I'd stay away just on the basis of those "G"s...

Thanks Brownie & Mark - I'm suspicious too, and won't be bidding. Alot of their autographs look new and fresh and very clear (not so much the Armstrong etc listing), almost as if they're coming off some autograph forging assembly line somewhere. But the volume of business they seem to do and their high approval rating kind of threw me.
