<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 173232, member: 1262&quot;]Unfortunately some of the auctioneers around my area defer to their consigners and refuse to call out fake Roseville. I&#039;ve informed a few of them of several fake pieces of art pottery over the years and they don&#039;t care, saying their consigners told them it is legit and that they work for the consignor. Some newbies have gotten burned locally and online and if EBTH (online estate sale site) is a good gauge of the collecting community, some of the fakes sell for as much as the real deal when the fakes are not properly disclosed.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways some auction houses on Live Auctioneers seem to sell a bunch of this junk as &quot;2nd generation Roseville&quot; and I&#039;m sure some of it is being bought to resell to unsuspecting buyers at antique malls and flea markets on the local level.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t feel entirely too bad for buyers out some money though, they should have researched what they are buying as many of these fakes are laughable. I tried to tell a buyer at a local auction house that a piece was an obvious reproduction before the auction and they laughed me off saying that I was probably just after it myself since it was such a nice piece ...... they won the bid for $50. Next auction they come up to me and apologize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
