Authenticate Those Shoes!

[Kamilla850]

I am getting sick just looking at all the pages of shoes on ioffer.

thanks guys, think i can take it they are fake. very annoying as there is only one store that sells louboutin in ireland and they only carry about 3 styles

Yep. I went on there a long time ago to warn people and then I got over it, b/c the idiots were still buying. I'm sure they got scammed. And, those Anemones are SCARY!

The problem is some of these people probably get a real pair, take the photos, and then return them. Then, the crappy fakes are sent out, if anything is ever sent out.

Some of those sellers do not take Paypal so that would be a red flag right there IMO.

Off Ebay, I accept Googlecheckout, but I still have to do everything that Paypal requires, other than the confirmed address. And, on top of that, I have receipts anyways to prove that I purchased all of my Louboutins from the boutique or department store, so oh well.

It's sad that it's so easy to get scammed though!

They might be real, but she doesn't have great feedback and she had an auction up a while back for the silver pigalles and her description really bugged me. LOL She stated that only 600 were made or something crazy, which was not the case. I owned a pair that were originally purchased from Neiman Marcus and I know I was not one of the lucky 600. haha

I would try to call some of the places that stock CL and see if they can ship to you. I'm sure CL Paris would. You might have to pay a bit more with duties and shipping, but at least you know you are getting the real thing, no questions asked. Plus, it's not like her price is great. Retail is $540/550 I believe on the patent pigalles. With her starting bid price, I bet w/ duties and shipping you would end up paying the same as her starting price anyways.

Squeak - you should always try to contact US department stores or CL boutiques. I am sure that they will ship internationally. Plus the CL boutiques in NYC are very accomodating and will send you emails with photos of shoes that they have available in your size.
I am sure that *most* ebay folks that sell CL shoes on ebay are real, but these listings on ioffer make you think twice about buying on ebay. Just make sure that you always buy from a reputable seller with good feedback and that the seller is helpful and courteous.

I'm not looking for authentication, but more of a warning, these are absolutely fake:

Calling CL specialists, are these genuine ?

[foxycleopatra]

Yes, these are authentic. This sandal is especially gorgeous in the nude patent.

That is a style from about 3 years ago. The ones shown in the photos are indeed authentic.

Help! I bought these Gucci boots on eBay, and now I think they are fake! I've already worn them a few times, so I don't know what to do. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! TIA! What do you think, real or fake? Pics attached.
