Found this at Decades, so I assume authenticity is a "yes"? If so, what is a fair price to pay (pre-owned and fresh from a trip to the Hermes spa for TLC)? Is it considered poor form to negotiate, especially since the bag didn't sell right away?

Thanks for your sage advice!

Here is the original sandia exchange auction from which the Blue Jean kelly pics were stolen ....360030200919

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=360030200919


lets report this....please!
I have sent a message to Sandia and reported to ebay as well, as a possible fraudulent listing. I have also asked the seller to send additional photos with the seller name or recent newspaper. But this is not the buyer of the Sandia bag, so I am sure I will receive nothing......

if anyone has sandias direct email contact, please send her off a note, there are a lot of bids on this thing.....

Keep up the fabulous work, everyone!

Need to drive these scammers out of their nonsense with H! . I have recently found some listings in my own home country, with fake birkins mass produced in Guangzhou, China. These people make me so mad. Bad karma. Bad karma.

The seller that stole Sandia's listing was busted back in April with a fake Birkin listing. Off to report.

^^excellent. I thought the name smelled familiar!

I am thinking it should simply be policy for ebay that all pictures must be watermarked. period.

Anyone want to venture an opinion on whether or not this is authentic?

Both Sandia's original buyer and the now seller is staying in Singapore....do you think it could be a case of the same person with 2 different ebay id , possible ???

PS: It is not me though I am from the same country

I bought the Hermes white bus!!! I think it was a great deal and I appreciate all of your help with this!!! Apparently, this is a tough bag to find as well and was told it was $6000 without tax!! I can't believe I saved $4000 on my first Hermes!!!!!!

Thanks also to Hello!!!!

Can someone provide some advice on this please?

Found this at Decades, so I assume authenticity is a "yes"? If so, what is a fair price to pay (pre-owned and fresh from a trip to the Hermes spa for TLC)? Is it considered poor form to negotiate? The bag remains unsold, and their others seem to go very quickly.

AND EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME PERSON, HE/SHE COULD AT LEAST HAVE THE COURTESY TO OBTAIN SANDIA'S PERMISSION TO RE-USE HER PHOTOS. IT IS ALSO NOT RIGHT. THE CONDITION OF THE BAG WOULD HAVE CHANGED SOMEWHAT DURING THE TIME THE BAG'S IN HIS/HER POSSESSION?!
