Was reading through some threads and spotted people talking about mulberrymad. No idea what it was (Im new!) so googled it and found it was an e bay shop.
What I want to know is is it genuine? The price of a bag Im looking at is a lot cheaper than in shops. Why? Dont want to shell out that sort of money on a fake. Has anyone bought of it and could give me some info? Thanks

Genuine.

The reason the bags in Mulberrymad's ebay shopare cheaper is that most of them are used, not brand new. Some of Mulberrymad's bags are brand new and they may come from an outlet or other source but whereever they come from you can be sure that they are a) authentic and b) as described. Mulberrymad is an expert on Mulbery, you are so right to be concerned about fakes so well done for finding this forum. If you see a bag on ebay you are interested in, put the details in the authentification thread and one of our experts will assist in determining if it's real or a fake.

Mulberrymad is authentic, many people on tpf have been dealing with her and she has got a great reputation!

Genuine fab seller!

I've bought bags from MulberryMad before, totally genuine and wonderful to deal with

She buys bags off ebay under a different name with private, hidden feedback, ( to avoid her sellers finding out that they sold for too cheap to a reseller, and to avoid her buyers seeing how much mark up there is!).
She is probably an expert on Mulberry authenticity because of a lot experience, but her bags originate from ebay (as well as outlets maybe), so ultimately what you buy from her is what you missed to bid on a couple of weeks ago and lost to her!
I do not think there is anything wrong about snapping and reselling from profit - but if she had nothing to hide, why buying under secret names and selling under another? Would you pay £150-200 extra for the privilege of buying from a "reputable seller"? Sometimes yes, if you do not know the model.
Personally I think, that such business stop genuine sellers of their own items from achieving the best price for their treasures, and genuine buyers
from getting any bargains at all, overpaying for their dream bags and giving up their hard earned cash to the knowledgeable person who pressed the bid button at the right time. It is a middleman. If she were to buy a fake, she probably would never pass it on to her buyer, but deal with the fake herself... so it is reassuring to buy from her, especially that you get the protection of distance selling regulations, because she is a business seller and is obliged to take refunds for any reason during the first 7 days.
This seller is not the only one to do this, some others sourse their Mulberries exactly the same way.

Mulberrymad is genuine seller who is great to deal with. She deals with any queries promptly and efficiently. She takes the risk out of buying on ebay and as I have no desire to buy a fake bag and have to deal with the consequences I am happy to pay a bit extra in the knowledge that the product is genuine

charliefarlie · Nov 3rd, 2009, 03:25 PM
