Is PM bad about taking returns on un-authenticated bags? Haven't had to try yet but the prices are always tempting to me! And the thrill of the hunt of course :)
They suck at authenticating. I had a really hard time getting refunded for a very obvious fake and even after giving them proof of everything they still denied a refund. It took me multiple emails and links to authentication from here which they completely blew off. In the end they refunded me but still claimed the fake bag was authentic.

The prices are pretty good sometimes. That's the reason I bought this one and now again having to go through the pain in the árse process of getting refunded.
 
Good morning! Would you kindly authenticate this maybe Sabrina? Thrift store pickings are on the rise! Thank you!

Item: Madison Sabrina
Seller: Goodwill (in my possession)
Comments: Bonus pics since BB taught me this style is highly faked

Serial numbers (since 1994) aren't unique so multiple bags of the same style can have the same serial number but fakes can also have the same number. (Counterfeiters can copy anything and it's just as easy to put a "legit" number on a fake as it is to make up a fake number to use.)

In order to authenticate your bag, we'd need to see pictures of the actual bag.

These are the picture with the exact serial number. Feels and smells like quality leather. I was going to start a thread but I still need to learn how to navigate through the site. Thank you. :)

Can you take and post one more photo? It would help to see the back of the oval plate that the turnlock goes through, it's on the back of the purse's flap. It seems ok but it's hard to find another all-leather bag from that plant to compare it to.

And BTW, you don't start a thread for authentication requests, that's what this thread is for.
