[auralisa]

thanks to all, Silver, mmmsc, melissab, gro...you're awesome!

I'm not familiar w/ this style.

Hopefully someone else will help you

Thanks! Anyone else wanna have a shot? I have about 3 hours left

 

[auralisa]

Sorry, I can't help either, I'm just learning myself! Good luck

 

[kathleen1]

There's so much to take in. Thanks, though, auralisa. Good luck finding your bag!

 

[melissab]

Kathleen1 the bag you posted was posted here earlier, not sure what page, but I don't think anyone responded to it either.

 

[auralisa]

Absolutely a counterfeit

AU members, please report this one.

I think she may really believe she has an authentic bag.

 

[kathleen1]

Does that mean it's a fake and not worth the time? I don't mean that to sound icky, I truly don't know the etiquette, as I'm new.

i just don't think anyone has seen this style?

 

[mmmsc]

Too bad if that is the case because it is a fake and it is illegal to sell them as authentic.. What about all those poor bidders?

never seen this style. I couldn't say? If you don't hear from the experts, then it's probably best not to get it.

^ Melissa's right. We're just not really familiar with the style you posted. I think the front of the tag looks ok, but I don't think that's enough to authenticate. Can you ask for a picture of the back of the tag and a clearer shot of the "Balenciaga" logo on the metal plates?

 

[kathleen1]

Okay, thanks ladies. I hope I didn't come off as pushy...it's just the time constraint that has me anxious. I'll email for those pics, thanks again!!

 

[melissab]

So we have had a scare with the new fakes, and am I not going to do this one alone! If anyone can tell me how this GSH City looks that would be awesome! I am waiting for a pic of the bale yet..

I totally agree, I'm not disputing. Should I go ahead and report it? I'm so new to all of this. Or should it be left to one of the AU girls?

Gina knows a lot better than I do, but I think they need people from AU to report. I have reported overseas fakes and they don't usually get taken down. Here in the US, they do if they get reported. I don't think it hurts to report but let's let Gina weigh in?
