Hi there, please help to authenticate this birkin, TIA

Item: Authentic Hermes Birkin 35 red rouge casaque gold hardware Stamp Q 2013 receipt
Listing number: 111066453000
Seller: 2013flowerbomb2013
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111066453000?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649#ht_595wt_1183
Comments if any: Seller is selling her personal collection, not a reseller.

I see nothing to inspire confidence. Scant feedback for inexpensive items as a seller, some books and CD's as a buyer. Three different eBay id's within five months. Blurry pictures which cant be seen properly.

At least 3 of those pictures were stolen from me/my ebay listings. Without even going through my records I can tell they date from 2008/2009.

Thank you Perlerare. This would be an explanation for why an unlikely seller had pictures of an authentic bag.

The lesson is always ask for specific additional pictures if you feel uncertain about a seller. Look for consistent backgrounds and style of picture. Beware of pictures which looked cropped (perhaps to remove watermarks) and at odd looking angles.

There are many, many unscrupulous people trying to separate you from your money.

In addition I think that Gumtree is a very unsafe site for buying Hermes, I recommend avoiding it altogether.

Your additional pictures are too small to be useful. I am sorry but I prefer not to give opinions based on pictures of this size.
 
Thank you for your honest opinion. I will attempt to post them in a larger size and hopefully they will be large enough for you to feel comfortable giving your opinion. Thank you.

I regret to say, but I am wondering why this seller is selling a nearly brand new bag for $5K or Best Offer. They sell for much more. I cant say I am comfortable, and I cant tell if all these pictures are from the same source. They are still hard to see, especially the detail interior pictures in the actual auction. Call me cautious, but I personally would not be in active pursuit.
