People spend thousands on a bag on ebay, from sellers selling hundreds!

[pigalle74]

Japanese are known for their love for luxury items-and a lot of people there can afford them. If the seller is a reputable/established consignor and you have them authenticated here, there is not reason to not buy from this seller.

She sells a lot of vintage, plus a lot of people in Japan are really into Chanel. I have bought several Chanels from her, her bags are 100% authentic!

Just checked this sellers feedback that JennaVoguette posted & questioned earlier.

The feedback is 99.8% positive with 1083 transactions completed.

Japan is the biggest consumer of luxury goods in the world. This seller also

guarantees authenticity in her listing. Don't see any issues, unless I am missing

something that need to know about. It also looks like many of her items are from

previous and past collections. And other memebers of the forum have had positive

experiences with this seller and post that her items are 100% authentic.

This makes me feel like checking out her auctions!

Just because a seller is located in Asia does not mean their goods are knockoffs.

I said I'd check out her auctions because I mean I think she sounds like a good seller.

Exactly. It is not fair to make judgements based on particular countries.

Vita-prova's auctions are amazing. I have never seen her sell anything that was not just beautiful. Any trip to a department store in Japan and you will be astonished at the beautiful bags which you see being carried around. (I chose to live in Japan but I am not Japanese).

OP you need to study the Chanel Authenticity Tips. It will take time but you will learn how to recognise the hallmarks of a real Chanel. But always have something authenticated at the authenticate this Chanel link. Good luck.

Oh I love the Japanese re-sellers and i love vita prova. They have so many items that worth checking everyday.

[gidramom]

The seller is posting many photos which appear to be their own. So if you have any concern, authentication should be easy.
I haven't purchased from the seller. But a seller I've bought LV speedy was just like them. They had tons of pre-owned LV (mostly old style) and were MPRS. I authenticated the bag on the LV forum and it was 100% authentic.
Yap, Japanese love Chanel and LV, and no question about that. Even in 80's, high school kids were crazy about getting Keepall for their school trips.

I think it's really unfair to make a judgmental statement like that to a seller that has nothing but EXCELLENT track record, just because the seller is located in Asia. FYI scammers can be anywhere, in fact many are actually located in US i.e. the Goyard scammer, Romie-Omie, etc..

The one negative appears to be from a reseller who was worried about the lack of a seal. If you are really into Chanel vintage the seal is a lovely thing to have, but there are lots of other key authenticity markers that can be used if the seal is missing. In this case, the feedback comment was that the seal was actually in the pocket. I haven't seen the bag so I don't know who was in the right here! But lack of a seal has never scared me off a bag. Nor has it ever freaked out anyone who has bought from me.

Personally, I think a negative for that sucks and demonstrates a lack of knowledge on the part of a buyer. If you are going to spend big money, you should do your research well!

Just shopped in a major Japanese Department store this evening in a (comparatively) smallish city of 6,000,000 people. Rather a lot of real, high end bags floating past me.

All of us can get them discounted during Chanel sales...
And I see absolutely nothing wrong with buying from a reputable EBay seller who has excellent feedback. If the bags were fake, the feedback would reflect that.

I wish it were true... They do not discount bags everywhere.
