A Place for the Fakes

chloehandbags · Nov 26th, 2006, 10:04 PM

I would laugh - but there are people bidding on it, apparently?!!

chloe-babe · Nov 27th, 2006, 08:51 AM

I know, lots of bids on it. Its shocking. Probably mums thinking they are buying something nice for their daughter for Christmas perhaps, or partners trying to surprise their loved ones! It will be a surprise alright come christmas morning

lol

Great idea having this as a sticky.

There's a few in this thread i started that you all might think totally belong here...

http://forum.purseblog.com/chloe-sho...y-51278-3.html

Jag, i don't know if you can (or would want to) merge this thread in with the one i started a few weeks ago, seeing as they are both pretty much on the same topic?

P.S Yes - some surprise chloe-babe...OMG i couldn't even begin to imagine it..

jag · Nov 27th, 2006, 10:16 PM

Yes, chicky! Will merge them now!!!

Anyone else seeing this message when checking out the bidding:

As online shopping evolves, eBay continues to focus on preserving our marketplace's open and level playingfield whilst protecting our Community of members. We have decided to change how bid history information is displayed so unscrupulous people cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to see other bidder's User IDs on the listing page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, Bidder 2 etc.

How do the spot shill bidding now? Good work eBay! Not!

Totally horrible bag!

** The leather looks too stiff, hardware is way too bright & yellowish golden and the seams on the handles are pointed inside (as they should be pointed outside in auth paddys) etc. etc.

This definitely looks fake... but everything this seller sells is high priced... are they all fake?

I don't personally know about the other items they have for sale, but, IMO, if a seller sels just ONE fake bag, that is a big red flag to steer clear.

Some sellers are known to dot fake bags in with their authentic ones, just to keep future buyers guessing. But why would you trust someone who tries to sell a fake Chloe (or any other bag) for almost full retail price...?

And, to add, they have a new Celine leather jacket for sale at $716 and it supposedly retails for $5000....??

It makes it really hard for those of us who sell authentic items (I sell under a seller id). Who wants to spend $1200 on one when they can get a fake for so much cheaper. Uggghhhh
