Experience with Tolzor1 on Ebay?

[Vegard T]

I have been watching over his auctions for a while, his photos look amazing, but I have seen a couple of copies, has anybody had any experiences with him?

[Consonecollector]

Well, I wanted to buy with him too, but I noticed three copies until know.

What i find interesting is he does not show back side of the photos. (when i ebay, very seldom buy out side the US) I written tolzor1 off my list a while ago. He also seems to have endless hord of German original photos. Why does he not have his own website? If he got all these photos.

I have watched his auctions for a couple years now, and nothing ever changes. Majority of post-war photos mixed in with period originals. My advice is to be very careful when or if you decide to buy, and ask for reverse shots of course.
Alot of these sellers dont have websites simply because they make twice as much profit selling on Ebay. Its sickening to watch the amount of money these scammers like seller Adolffe/etc make off new collectors. I rarely buy off US sellers and tend to stick with Ebay.de when buying on Ebay
Like Franz said....many sellers have been knocked off my Saved Sellers list over time as well

I have personally found that The quality of the images in the photos are better coming from Ebay.de. By using the "German lingo" you can find some hidden gems in there. The only problem I have with Ebay.de is that some of the sellers wont take PayPal.

I know what you mean about ebay.de sellers not taken paypal...sort of annoying

I have no proof of any wrong doing by him, but just for peace of mind, he is on my ignore list as well.

Not only will many German eBay sellers not take PayPal, but I've noticed many, to my annoyance, will not even ship outside of Germany to the US or will, at best, ship only to Europe. William

I wouldn't buy from him.

I buy a lot of photos from Ebay.de and get round the reluctance of some sellers not to sell outside Deutschland by getting things sent to the address of some of my friends in Germany so if you know people over there use their addresses !! Apart from that if i've bid on such photos i've quite often found that there has been no problem with them actually posting items to other countries !!

As far as Tolzor1 goes never bought from him as it looks like his tactic is to have many ordinary but original shots on his list interspersed with the "sexy " fakes of Wittman , RKT's SS etc etc , despite his claims not to sell the well known Ukranian archive fakes !!

[Frundsberg]

Well, actually these photos are just prints from original WWII era pressphotos or some real Russian and Ukraine archive photos. Seller just scans original photo and prints it to old paper. That is all. And of course - then he will use some stamps like "KGB Archive" or "Top secret" (Sovershenno Sekretno) and unreadable signature on the backside. So belive me - all ther "Soviet or Ukraine archive photos" are 100% fakes. I'm sorry to say but as far as I know this seller is actually from my country or from Latvia.
