alij78 - Hi there just checked the listing. The photos aren't ideal as they are overlit a little. I'd actually like to see a close up of the 'Chloe' heatstamp inside the bag - taken straight on and with the leather taut. Also a closer photo of the plate - again straight on - and not angled. Also photos of the side buckles. It looks ok so far, but I can't make out the inner heatstamp and the plate I'd like to check the engraving. Its unfortunate the key has been lost as it appears the padlock itself is locked. I'd actually advise that you check with a 'Chloe' stockist or 'Chloe' boutique and ask if its possible to get a key and what the cost would be. Just say you've lost it! Better to be aware of the cost of replacement first. The bag has marks on - but a professional leather restorer should be able to remove the ink marks - and in fact there are threads here on how you can clean the leather yourself. The hardware - i.e., the padlock is worn, chipped - but again we are looking at this in great detail - and it won't be as noticeable IRL. If you could get the additional photos - it would be good - there is $2,000 PayPal Protection on the listing - so you would be covered were there to be any problem.

Hopefully the seller will oblige.

alij78 - Hey now the bag looks ok - but its just best to double check. The key - I'd definitely check on re the price and make sure you can get one. I know there have been instances where girls had a problem with getting padlocks - so its best to double check. Not sure where you are located.

Thanks Ellie Mae and Lescoy!!
I finally get the additional photos from the seller, the tag inside the bag doesn't seem to correspond to the chole tag. The seller said all the cards were from the bag when purchased from Neiman's. Here is the link of the auction:

I asked for all additional photos that you mentioned and these are what the seller send me:

continued from last message:

Does it look authentic? Should I avoid buying because of the mismatch of cards?
Thanks a lot!!

enciell - Hi there - this tag doesn't match this bag at all - the bag is showing as an 05 paddy and the tag is for an 06. So thats wrong for a start. Creme wasn't a colour for 05 either - I think it could be Naturel (Vanilla) - in which case - if you check her other listings - she actually has another paddy listed - which is showing an 05 Naturel hangtag. However, she then doesn't have the hangtag for the other paddy - as its an 05 and the circular hangtag is 06. She needs to double check - she should know which colour is which.

tireebabe - colours do differ from year to year - i.e., what might have been say chocolate in 05 will look a different shade in say 06. This one though - isn't Creme as that wasn't an 05 colour - its more likely to be Naturel (Vanilla)

I'm suspecting this is fake but thought I would just ask anyway.

tireebabe - Its a horrible fake - wasn't made this way - and I've reported and moved to 'Fakes' page.
