No, I didn't win that auction, but the seller said he had another and is offering to sell it to me. These are the photos he sent me.

Blueangel, you purchased the blue bag from this seller? If you live close enough to the seller, I suppose it would not hurt to meet so you can see the bag yourself in person to see if it is authentic. I have two Goyards already, both purchased from Goyard boutiques, and they look like the photos the seller listed...so I don't know about authenticity. He says everything he sells is guaranteed authentic, money back. Update us on what ends up happening.

Hi sarag505,
I would just be careful with this bag. Reason I say is because the seller seems to have an awful lot of Goyards to list and I read the explanation that Blueangel posted as to why he said he has a lot and that just does not sit well with me.
Blueangel-
If you do decide to meet with the seller please do it in a public place and do not allow him/her to come to your home. Also are you confident that you are able to authenticate a Goyard even in real life? Just educate yourself very well. If you live in NY I suggest that you go to Barney's or Bergdorf and touch/feel/study what an authentic Goyard looks like. There are many good fakes out there that if you are not well educated on the authentic one, it could trick you.

Good luck to you both!

Pinklipgloss:

Great advice............

Goyards are difficult to authenticate w/ lousy photos.
The leather is hand painted and difficult to capture w/ a photo.

Please be careful.

Personally I would look elsewhere, but just my opinion.

Steer clear of this seller guys. The seller has been telling people that they were gifts, that their friend gets a huge discount, ect.

The bag looks off to me, especially from the snap placement which is off center.

I wonder how the NYC Goyard hotspots would react if they knew one of their employees was buying bags at discount for a friend to resell for a profit? My guess is that it is not the case. My guess is that it is an elaborate lie to sell multiples of a superfake bag.

Thanks for all the wonderful advice ladies...I think I will avoid being tempted by anything Goyard on fleaebay and just stick to the reputable stores.

i do not agree...i have a relative who works for one of the companies mentioned above...my listings were taken down because of this comment...not cool, check the one feedback i was able to get before they were taken down

you missed out....i was going to show you it was authentic...and once you saw that it was then you could have paid through paypal and still be protected
