A friend sent me a link not knowing I've been turned off Fashionphile for a while given how poorly they treated another TPF'er. But it made me think about how much people don't know when buying online.
For instance, this bag is available on FP for $1,950: https://www.fashionphile.com/louis-vuitton-damier-ebene-caissa-hobo-cerise-cherry-127612 (Sorry, I don't know how to do links ... if we can?). It has surface wear and scratches. You could buy this ... or purchase a brand new, never used bag in perfect condition directly from Louis Vuitton for $10 more. I am truly stumped why ANYONE would list this bag for $10 less than original sale price. But what saddens me is some poor soul will buy it.
FYI - I didn't start this thread to bash Fashionphile b/c I've seen this stuff on every site - especially a company here in Atlanta called BellaBag and also at one of our department stores here (Von Maur) they sell used LV and it's often more expensive than a brand new one!
