<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1654737, member: 75105&quot;]Putting the seller to the side, I can see this happening more and more, and here is why.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I tell quite a few auction buddies of mine about fakes, they are taken aback, and most never have known that certain items can be fake until I tell them about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The amount of counterfeiting done by the Chinese is astronomical. From the various industries I am part of, I can tell you for a fact the following items are being faked.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Watches</p><p>-Purses, and other leather goods.</p><p>-Shoes, and popular clothing. </p><p>-Metal Detectors</p><p>-Satellite Receivers</p><p>-Airbags (full of shrapnel). </p><p>-Jewelry</p><p>-Gold, Silver, and other bullion.</p><p>- Apple iPods, iPhones, and other devices.</p><p>-Coins, even certified coins they are faking. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the past few years I have seen this grow rampantly. It will continue to grow until a stop is put to it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Getting back to the seller, MANY people are<b> unaware </b>of counterfeit silver bars. They usually test hand-poured bars, but most people take a regular silver bar with a great amount of trust.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see a lot of people never testing them and selling them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can take something for granted, would you worry about it authenticity? Probably not. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not only are the Chinese doing this to<b> disrupt </b>our trading systems, it hurts the small seller even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>People will start seeing the small sellers as being shysters, and only buy from the &quot;big box&quot; bullion stores. </p><p><br /></p><p>People will start seeing the small sellers as shysters when it comes to other items being sold, and they will only buy from authorized sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a good question....</p><p><br /></p><p>-------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>If people on here are saying we have no power in china, what about INTERPOL, the international police.</p><p><br /></p><p>China IS a member of INTERPOL. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t they do something?</p><p><br /></p><p>If not, as mentioned earlier, this problem is going to get out of hand,<b> mark my words. </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
