I still think the croc is a fake...

Greentea, I think the croc is fake, too. Croc should have dots in the larger scales, which are actually hair follicles and not present in alligator. The reputable seller I was referring to was for the second bag, hence the #2).

Oh, I know you meant the gold bag. :)

You're right, the scales look too sloppy and chunky to be Hermes croc - especially the delicate and more even-scaled porosus.

I agree about the croc...it's probably not Hermes.

The gold courcheval is ok...I had a Kelly in gold courcheval from 1997 which I sold.

Thanks for your help ladies. I am torturing myself with ebay. Still too chicken to bid on anything, but appreciate all of your help!

Bad fake. That looks like manufactured Togo leather and the inside has a couple of problems.

Thanks GT!...

The Gold one is authentic but the Croc one is a bad fake. HTH!

Jag, the gold Courchevel is definately authentic, I have the exact same bag from the same year only size 40.... the croc, I also agree with the others, is fake....

Thanks Duna and HermesAddiction!

Do you think it looks to be in good enough condition? Or should I just hold out for my birkin to come in from NM? AHHH! I am pulling my hair out!

Here is a Blue Jean Birkin for anyone interested

The Seller just emailed me a ton of pics- I am happy to email them to you if you want. But the auction ends in less than 2 hours so PM me if you want a look.

Hi!
I'm trying to learn more about the PICOTIN...
I saw this auction on ebay, what do you think?
Also, what would be a good way to see some pics of PM versus GM, etc... Should I start a new thread?
Thanks!
Here's the auction:

Wow, that bj ended up selling for 1500? A brand new one? I'm really skeptical. Why on earth a sane person wants to sell her brand new birkin for that price?
