Hi Unoma, could you please help me?

The seller sent me more pictures, I've put them all in this photobucket album:

The seller have yet to send me a picture of the date code. He said he can't find it. I am trying to show him where to look so hopefully I will get the date code picture today.

Here are the zipper marking pictures.

As you can see, there are no "I" zipper marking on the main zipper pull. The zipper pull of the back pocket looks like it has some sort of a marking but I am not sure.

I've asked the seller about this and he responded with:

"About the Luggage line, the Micro and Mini luggage will have a '8' in the zipper.
And the nano is always have a 'i' there.
About the Trapeze, some time will not have the stamp on the zipper such as the Phantom line.
Since difference line will have a difference warehouse, that will be some item didn't have the mark on there.
Please don't worry, we have inspected this item double time and this is 100% authentic item."


Is it okay for some zipper pulls on the Celine Trapeze/Phantom to not have the "I" marking?

Based on everything you see so far, does this Celine Trapeze have any hopes of being authentic?

Since I've already paid for this bag, can I tell him to send me the bag and I will take my own pictures when I receive it? I will do that if you at least think that this bag has no red flags.

Please help! Thank you so so much for your expertise!

I need to see the zipper marking.

Hi Unoma, this is the picture the seller sent to me.

This bag does not have the zipper marking.

The seller said that some Celine Trapeze does not have the zipper marking.



The seller also cannot find the serial number.

I've told him it could be located in one of the pockets or the back zipper pocket but he still can't seem to find it.

He sent me this message this morning:

"The item is took already to our appraiser there to inspect the serial no.
Please give us about 1 week to inspect it, thank you for your attention
We are sorry about we will make a late shipment to you.
"





I've already paid for the bag 4 days ago but it has not been shipped. It looks like he needs another week to try to locate the serial number or check why this bag doesn't have one.

I think he is sending the bag off to professional authentication or something. I really like this bag but I want to ask for a refund if it is an obvious fake.

Should I wait the one week that he is requesting or just ask him to issue me a refund and cancel the transaction? I've purchased from him many times before without any problems.

Here is the album of the pictures he sent me again: http://s1290.photobucket.com/user/savannahtse27/library/Celine%20Trapeze%20Medium%20Black%20Croc?sort=3&page=1

Thank you!
