Your link is not working, but I should say that Craigslist has had more than its share of fake Birkins, and without even reveiwing the images I would suggest you consider a more cautious approach. Check the lists of reputable sellers on this forum.

Hi Everyone Thank you all so much for your replies. I agree that Craigs list is not the greatest place to buy a Hermes Birken. DH said that I was ridiculious to even consider it and he also thinks that it is eqally ridiculous that I spend money on a bag right now.
I appreciate your feedback

Item: Vibrato Kelly 32cm
Listing number: 370136714576
Seller: akiko1120
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...576%26_fvi%3D1
Comments: I believe this seller has good reviews on tpf, and I was all set to bid on this bag, when I carefully read the listing and came across this comment:
"All of my items are authentic to the best of my knowledge however I don`t guarantee anything."

So, am I correct in assuming the seller doesn't stand behind her product? If it turns out to be fake, oh well...since she doesn't guarantee authenticity? Seems a little scary to me even though she has good feedback. What if this is the random bad apple in the bunch?

TIA! :)

i don't see any authenticity issues, though for an unequivocal authentication i'd like to better and closer photos of the interior.

as far as the language in the listing, i believe that it actually violates feebay policy - it's my understanding that sellers aren't allowed ANY disclaimers as to the authenticity or legality of merchandise.

Thanks DQ! It might be totally fine, but something in my gut is telling me not to bid....I guess I'll just wait for another good deal. Thank you again.

Item: Hermes Herbag PM Natural
Listing number: 160310280108 (ebay)
Seller: 427bird

Comments: I thought the leather was supposed to be vache naturelle not berenia. I asked for extra photos and the seller mentioned she has worked at H for 10 years. IMO the extra photos are not enough to authenticate, but I would appreciate any advice!

Red flags.... you're right it is not barenia and peculiar that somebody working for Hermes that long could not differentiate between the two leathers
