Can anyone weigh in on this? I believe BV only made 50 of these, so odd this seller has 4. I would love for this to be authentic, since it would be a nice way for me to pay homage to south Florida (my previous home :))!

TIA!

I have no idea--have never seen these, but it sounds as if they are rare. Hopefully someone else will know something and help.

This is authentic - I thought about getting one of these myself and did my due diligence - I really want the wallet that came out, shoulda got that when it was on the 'Bay a short time ago ... Love this color!!!

I do not believe this is authentic. I hope you didn't buy it.

Unfortunately, I did. On impulse in the dead of night sitting in my bathtub with an iPad. I didn't buy 1, 2, or 3. I entered my bid for 4 different styles. Won them all & paid just under 800 usd in total immediately. They have not been shipped for 2 days & the seller's gone radio silent. Imma turn murderous on his *** by Tues night! Lol. What gave it away? I thought the print on the auth tag looks odd despite the style & colour code checking out ok.

We try not to say why we think something is fake, because the fakers read what we say here. But I will say trust your instincts next time and wait till someone here takes a look at the item. I know that's hard. Before I knew anything about BV, I bought a fake myself.

Oh I see. It's terrible what fakers do! Fakers if you're listening in, you suck!

On a separate note, it's all kinds of wonderful what you & the other expert members do here. A lot of us (me!) can't afford to march into the shops & buy our BVs hot off the shelves. This collective knowledge pool here keeps eBay honest & the dream to take home some preowned & authentic BVs alive & within reach. Here's me using too many words to say thank you! Learning everyday. Hope I pick up enough to contribute a little in the future! ;)
