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.

Tinyshihtzu, besides the fact that this very bag is an ugly fake, mistikat was kindly warning you about craiglist. We haven't seen any authentic bag on craiglist so far...and to tell you the truth, because the bags on craiglist are always either too good to be real, or openly fake, we haven't been trsuting any seller from craiglist so far...

An authentic bag listed by an honest seller has still to come there....

OH, OK I wasn't aware or that fact. I purchased a few LV bags from CL that I did find to be authentic, but thanks for the warning about Hermes on CL

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!

legibet, I was referring to the original links you provided to that website, and the 2 bags shown there. Sorry to add to the confusion.

Please go back and read this thread. CL has been consistently mentioned on every few pages as having fake bags. I have given up on that site entirely and don't even look at auth requests from that site.

General Advisory to All: Everyone loves a bargain and the scammers know this. They are going to flaunt these fake bags forever, but it will not change the fact that they are fake bags. Don't waste your time or fantasize that you are the one lucky person to find the authentic bag there.

Comment: I know that the seller has got a good reputation and sold a lot of Hermes items but I just don’t know anything about Ardennes leather.
Is the bag authentic?

Many thanks for your time.
