I am about to buy this on eBay, can you please confirm it for me? Seller says it's from the employee sale. I know not all photos may be present but a red-flag-check would be extremely helpful.

Item number: 142481969184
Seller: annapan70
Title: Celine Bag

Ask for serial number and zipper marking

I am ready to purchase this Celine, but the listing did not have the tag/serial number. She has emailed it to me this morning and it's below. Can someone authenticate for me? TIA!

Ask for serial number and zipper marking[/QUOTE

Here is the serial # that I posted in the original request :smile:
celine_serial-jpg.3809646
 
Yoogie's Closet has a 30 day return window and I managed to get them to pay for my return. But still, it's such a shame that these companies claim 100% authenticity while still selling fake bags every so often. It may not be as often as every other bag but it's certainly common enough to be a real issue.

I used a reputable third-party authentication site to authenticate it, but after they told me it was fake, I went to see some real box bags and the difference was really staggering. I would think that any "expert" that's authenticating bags at these reseller sites should have seen such glaring differences or at least set the bag aside for further review. Even more ridiculous is that these sites will never admit that they made a mistake. They replied saying that they'll accept the return but possibly put the bag back up for sale if their in-house "expert" ok's it!

And I agree that since there are so many high quality fake box bags in the market, I would just save more to buy a new one from the boutique.
Do you mind sharing who you used for third party authentication? Am looking for a good source.

Comments: I may not meet the requirement for authentications; if so can someone please recommend a paid and trusted authentication resource? I have asked previously but have not gotten replies (older threads, my request may not have been seen). Thanks in advance for your time and attention. I see this is a very busy thread. Love this used bag but I do not do fakes.

I have asked previously but have not gotten replies (older threads, my request may not have been seen). Sorry for the multiple code pics, very hard to capture on camera. Thanks in advance for your time and attention. I see this is a very busy thread. Love this very used bag (it was not "new with defects" like the seller claimed), but I do not do fakes.

Hi. I bought this from a thrift store. It was about $100, expensive for a thrift I think. Could anyone please let me know if this is authentic or just another one of those fakes? Any expert opinion will be very much appreciated. Thank you: )
