Thanks! I won the first auction from dezignerfashons. She's a great communicator and has what looks like all authentic items from R&R, TR and 7FAM. I will post pics when I get my jeans!

Hi!

I was hoping someone can help me authenticate these True Religion Jeans:

Billy international dark vintage:

Joey Medium Premium:

Thank you!

PinkPudding · Nov 21st, 2007, 12:25 PM

Is the website authentic?
Thanks =)

loserxstar · Nov 21st, 2007, 01:40 PM

^ they look authentic to me, but beware of any ebay pics using stock photos. make sure you will be receiving the actual item from the pics.

finzup · Nov 21st, 2007, 02:09 PM

The website looks shady to me. I don't know if the products are authentic or not. The site seems very "fly by night"...
Noplace on this website does it say that the products are authentic. Usually stores will have a statement in there "about us" or FAQ (they don't even hae an FAQ).
Good news is they appear to take returns (15% restocking fee).

Just my 2 cents. Perhaps others have shopped there can let you know for sure.
I probably wouldn't risk shopping there.

Plus -- at least the registration page does NOT look secure to me.

lithiumpearl · Nov 21st, 2007, 02:55 PM

I wouldn't risk shopping there; they most likely sell fakes, although very good fakes since I can't tell from looking at them if they are authentic (would need photos of tags, etc.).

Red flags: they sell Bebe (I'm pretty sure Bebe does not authorize any third party vendors to sell their merchandise), no physical address is listed, and in their about us page they plainly state "we work with reputable importers". What that means is that they aren't authorized retailers for any of those brands, but buy them from "reputable" (read: questionable) distributors and then resell them.

lorihmatthews · Nov 21st, 2007, 05:48 PM

Personally, I never buy from websites that charge a restocking fee. That always seems shady to me.

JadeLeaves · Nov 22nd, 2007, 02:51 AM

Hi, these are not from ebay. It's from an aussie sales website. I'll try to take pics of the actual jeans and post it here. They were rather cheap, which is why I'm a little suspicious!

Thanks!

ArmCandyLuvr · Nov 22nd, 2007, 05:49 PM

No physical address, 15% restocking fee, and the domain is registeredy by Domains By Proxy=Stay far away!

PinkPudding · Nov 22nd, 2007, 06:00 PM

thx ladies...
it's just seems kinda too good to be true.lol

btw, what is domain be proxy?im sorry, im clueless with that kind of stuff.hehe

ArmCandyLuvr · Nov 22nd, 2007, 07:54 PM

^^^ Domains by Proxy is a service that allows users to register their dot-com name without their personal information being made available to the Internet exploring general public through domain lookup services. Basically, it's a way for people to create web sites, and make it possible to conceal their identity. A lot of scam web sites use this service, so the people they scam can't track them down.

Does anyone know of authentic Juicy sellers on Ebay? Ones who are reliable and sell reasonably priced Juicy?

Is this seller authentic? http://stores.ebay.com/Bells-and-Bab...QQftidZ2QQtZkm
Her store seems pretty trustable..she even wrote a nice Ebay guide on authenticating Juicy. Although..anyone could cut/paste, couldn't they?

bells-and-babies is an authentic seller. they ship fast, and sometimes their auctions end cheap. but i once bought 2 pairs of linen shorts from them, and one pair came with a linen tie belt, and the other pair didn't. :( i was sad. i also once bought a terry hoodie from them, and the threading from the pocket started to come unravelled after i wore it only a couple of times. but that could have very well been my fault.

the rest of the auctions you posted look a little sketchy to me, but i can't tell for sure. you will need to see pictures of the inside tags and J pulls. also, be wary of people who sell the entire set for less than $40... the prices at marshalls and Nordstrom rack are usually at least $30-$35 each piece. you might want to wait it out--occassionally they go for $25 each piece at a ShopBop on super sale.
