I know next to nothing about the Rodeo, but even I know that a bag that came out in 2024 doesn't have a W tag.
Also very shady: the seller claims that the original owner used a marker to (conveniently) draw over every identifying logo inside, thus making it harder to authenticate. Hence the $480 price.

This seller knows this bag is a fake and is lying about it.

Always feel kinda bad when it seems like the seller doesn’t know that it’s a replica. From their other listings, it doesn’t seem that they specialize in purses or balenciaga. I just don’t understand not having it authenticated before selling it.

I did reach out and the seller was very responsive. Didn't seem to know much about Bal, was selling for a friend and had it "authenticated" by AI 😅 After a few explanations back and forth, they pulled the listing.
Better than the last one I reached out to (privately) who just blocked me and sold her two fakes knowingly, on Posh 😂

Good for you! "Authenticated" by AI...So the Real Real? ;)
They sent me an "offer" for $950 and when I declined I (very politely) left a note explaining that it was not authentic, the ways I believed so, and added that given they didn't seem to deal in designer merch they probably didn't realize just how many fakes are out there. The fact they willingly pulled it tells me they're not scammers but merely unfamiliar.
