clearly stated as fake

Clearly marked in the title 10 gram gold PAMP copper with gold plate. $150 each and they are in Chile , zero feed back seller 25 to 35 day shipping?

What is this bizzaro ebay lately? I realize free listings etc but who would buy such a thing? If you are a crook you buy fakes for a buck each right ? Then resell them for $400.

Why would anyone knowingly pay $150 for a fake and then wait a month to get it????


I have heard that you can tell the fake PAMP bars by the fact that the packaging around the bar is white not clear are there other obvious differences in the bars themselves?

    Precisely why I divested outta sealed PAMP bars in favor of 1/4 gold eagles. When it comes down to it, I own gold for gold's sake. Nothing should get in the way. Not an unknown manufacturer, not a plastic blister pak. If you can't saw it in half without destroying some of its value, then it's not gold for gold's sake.

    How many fake bars are on Ebay without a disclaimer? Pretty disturbing that the assayer blister pack is also faked. Or is it genuine blister pack with a fake bar? All the more reason to buy from a bullion site.

    Fake packaging is easier to counterfeit than the gold. They fake everything now including assay certs.

    I've seen fake eagles, rands, etc.

    The proliferation of fakes, counterfeits and scams on ebay is precisely why I do not use the site anymore...Cheers, RickO
