So I bought some shiny autographed stuff on Ebay:

- UK Firefly box signed by Joss, Nathan and Summer
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7617808569&rd=1&sspa
gename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

- small poster signed by Joss, Nathan and Summer (same seller)
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7617805021&rd=1&sspa
gename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

- German Serenity poster signed by the BDHs and Joss
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7618330934&rd=1&sspa
gename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

So now - of course a little late, as usual - I worry if those are authentic. I just sent a request for a Quick Opinion on the Serenity poster auction to PSA/DNA, a service to prove the authenticity of signed memorabilia ( http://www.psadna.com/), but would also like to ask if any of you have any insight on this matter.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I'm no expert, and the last photo is not large enough to make out the autographs clearly, but as far as the first two are concerned, I think they are not genuine. That is based on comparisons of autographs that I have that I know are authentic.

I may be wrong though, so don't despair yet.

Well, the autographs on the box and small poster ARE kinda shaky, but on the other hand, it's not unlikely that the seller did indeed get those at a pre-screening.
Why can't people be ruttin' honest, ffs?

The auction just... disappeared. Wtf?
I contacted the seller about what's going on, because the auction has been deleted, I payed 2 weeks ago (still have the PayPal "receit"), but haven't received anything yet.
Pisses me off to no end.

Contact ebay live help. They'll guide you on what to do. And you can get a transcript of the conversation for your records. Hope you get your merchandise and everything works out. People like that hurt all honest ebayers...that sucks!

that is always a worry,
but I got Joss & Summer directly from their own hands and they look a lot like what you have on that first poster...
so I'm thinking that is a good one.

I always make sure to get the name, address, and whatever other personal information I can of someone before I exchange money through a medium like the internet. If someone doesn't have to exist with the threat of losing their kneecaps, where's the incentive to not fuck up?

Call it a joke, but I'm dead serious. The only time I order things personally from people's personal sites or from ebay is if they have contact information and I can use it to find out where they live. After that, leave them subtle hints in email correspondence. Once they get the idea, it's pretty safe to make the transaction. Hasn't failed me yet.

I think it's unlikely someone is gonna think I'll fly to the US just to break their kneecaps.
Foooools! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The seller replied and (of course) assured me the autographs are authentic, and I kinda believe him.
But, well, I'll never KNOW, you know.
Maybe I'll give SimonWho's signed Firefly box a shot, I trust HIM.

Anyways, thanks for the, uhm, kind words, gang.

They sent the poster on May 16th, by the way - my guess is it's stuck at customs. Groan.

I live in the U.S., you pay for my plane ticket and a little extra (say, 50$?) and I'll do it for you.

I might get back to you on that.
For now, I'll wait and call customs tomorrow. Thanks for the offer.

I hope it works for you. *hugs*

If it doesn't, let your fellow browncoats stateside know. There's bound to be a few of us within a hundred mile radius of the scum suc...*ahem* the individual, who can kneecap 'em for ya.

That's what family's for, don't ya know.

'Course I'm still waiting for what I bought last week on eBay as well, but as it's coming from Glasgow and I'm in the MidWestern US, I figure it'll be a bit yet.
