I decided to respond to this because I just dealt with this seller. I can only tell you what I know for sure.......my gut tells me that what I suspect is true but because I don't have proof, I will not get into all of that.
This seller contacted me the first time she listed a Mia satchel because I had lost an auction a few days prior by another seller. She must have been watching and kept track of losing bidders. Anyway, I purchased the bag since her feedback was great and I thought I was getting a great deal on a first quality MJ bag. The bag had loose stitching on the zipper, like when it was sewn, the needle missed a couple holes. Also, the gold rings that hold the handles on were not stationery and rolled around exposing sharp little metal pieces. There was a tag on the inside pocket that said "Refurbished $199.00". I emailed her and she said that it was not refurbished, that must have been put there by mistake. She did agree to take the bag back and when I was getting it boxed noticed 199 written on the inside pocket in ink. That is all I will say because that is all I know for sure but I do suspect that she sold me a defective bag that somehow she was able to purchase for $199.00. The bummer thing was that I loved the bag so much I went to Saks and purchased it at full price.
