OK. I am still confused, though. Is she showing her other bag in the photos, too? Because I can tell you at a minimum there are 2 bags in those links you provided.

My bad...Sorry for the confusion I caused. I made a correction on my previous posting. You are absolutely right that there are two bags. Only the pictures posted by "iamandy" are the bag in question.

Pictures posted by "mimi810" in the comment of the first linked page are from a different authentic bag and mimi810 posted pictures of her own bag to help "iamandy" so that "iamandy" could compare the bag in question with mimi810's Birkin.

Comment : Please make sure to scroll down to the bottom of each linked page because additional pictures are available in comments.
I am not a buyer. I'm just helping a buyer who already paid $9,000 for this bag. All pictures on the above linked pages are taken by the buyer. FYI, feelway.com is a Korean version of purseforum.com, so the buyer posted pictures on feelway.com to check the authentication of the bag and she received mixed responses.

Okay, here are pictures. All are from the same bag.
First three pictures in the first line are taken by the seller.
The other two in the second line are taken by the buyer.

The buyer is willing to take more pictures if necessary.
Any comment or feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

legibet, thank you for clarifying and posting the actual photos, this helps. Honestly I cannot say with 100% certainty. There are the obvious discrepancies between the 2 bags, but there has been so much variability in the past 1-2 years in what used to be a very, very standardized appearance to these bags that I can't be sure. There are even details of the other bag that I am not completely happy with. I like the buyer's bag less than the other bag, but truly don't like either. That does not mean that I am saying either is fake because I am not sure, but I personally am not comfortable with...either! That said, I have seen "worse" authentic bags so...
If I were forced to give an opinion on it, I'd say fake. But I usually try to avoid saying that unless I am pretty sure. I am not.
Sorry to not be able to give you a definitive answer. Maybe someone else will be able to. Do you have any additional details about the provenance or the bag itself? This is togo presumably?

Pepper, thank you very much!

All pictures are supposed to be from the same bag. You seem to think that there are two different bags. Does it mean that the seller might have sent a different bag? First three pictures are those the seller posted on the flee market and the rest of them are taken by the buyer after she received it. The seller claims that she purchased this bag at a Hermes boutique in November, 2009. So the bag is supposed to be made very recently.

The buyer mailed back the bag to the seller after receiving mixed feedback from feelway.com --- which is about a week ago----, but the seller refused the package. So the bag is in the postal office and currently on the way to the buyer again. As soon as the buyer gets the bag, she said that she would take additional pictures and send them to me. I will post them here as soon as I get them.

Pepper and gracekelly, thank you guys again!

tinyshihtzu, the seller says he "got lucky" with this bag, for which he wants $4000. The bag in the photos looks damaged. And that's assuming this guy even has a bag to sell, authentic or not. If you are prepared to give $4000 to a stranger on Craig's List then your risk tolerance is much much higher than mine.
