Default Should I buy this bag: Hermes Birkin Red Cocodrile'

Please ask in the Hermes shopping subforum. There is an authentication thread.

I think it is important for you figure out the real reason why the seller is offering you the second chance.

Check to see if you received a duplicate message in your eBay email on their website. If not, it's a scam.

How could you receive a second chance offer on a BIN item? Did you bid on that or a similar one?

You should podt this in the authentication thread but this has to be a fake no one in their right mind will sell a 30k birkin for less than 4k

Oy.

If you seriously need to ask, you should consider doing a LOT MORE research on what exactly the authentic item sells for, is worth, and what it entails to make one of these bags.

Honestly. I wouldn't sell a regular non-exotic Birkin for three grand, let alone a croc that's worth easily ten times more. I don't even have to look at that listing to tell you it's a total fake.

that's not very friendly
not everyone is obsessive or even realizes there's such a huge counterfeit market.
Let's try and encourage each other.
