this bag is a FAKE!! so unless your friend doesn't mind spending that much on a fake bag, that is up to her.
there are plenty of authentic b-bags to be found on eBay, realdealcollection.com, bagpassion.com, aloha rag, etc. check out this thread:
Reputable Stores Carrying Balenciaga

good luck. if it were me, i wouldn't spend a dime on a fake Bal bag. bad karma, bad business, bad everything

Your friend should def. not pay as this bag is a FAKE!

Please tell your friend don't pay. Nicole confirmed this is fake, so it is fake!

It is not allowed to buy or sell on the forum. Please check this thread for reputable stores:

Or, if you see something on eBay, you could always check back here before you purchase.

There aren't many online stores for secondhand Bal. Here are a few reputable online stores: realdealcollection.com, annsfabulousfinds.com, bagpassion.com (hopefully it is okay mention here. If not, mod, please delete it).

Please feel free to come by this thread any time to question the bags you are interested in. Oh, BTW, forgot to mention, those online stores are reputable but not necessary their price is cheaper, compare you bought them new. This is how Bal market is. Good luck!

^^ the bolded one is authentic, the first one didn't link up to an auction, all the others are fake.

for the last one, a white work bag, get clear pics of the front and back of the tag but based on the 4 pics in the auction, i would say it's not authentic

Hi,

First of all, the Red Bag you posted photos of is a FAKE.
Another opinion if that helps.

The first listing I cannot pull up.
#2 FAKE
#3 FIrst impression is Fake, but need more photos to be certain.
#4 2005 Olive - Looks good
#5 Not enough photos to tell.

Those that need more photos, ask for clear close ups of the tag front and back, rivets, and bales on the detachable strap. Also ask if seller has the three paper tags.
