Good morning ,
Could you please authenciate this eBay item.
Seller: germ-donor
(I am supposed to be on bag ban right now. But I really want a Manor. Ban will assume after this. Go by seller's name, I have the rubbing alcohol spray bottle ready, lol...)

It's authentic (1995) but that seller really should change her name!
Hahahaha! Better than Sperm donor! :lol:

Item: Carnival bag
Where purchased: bought on eBay
Measurements: 8 x 5 1/2 x 2

Note: See requirements for posting. We need ebay link and seller ID.


Yes, link and seller are required.

The bag you bought is authentic.

BUT . . .
This is why we want seller IDs. ALthough a particular item may be authentic, many sellers have been posted here as "mixers" and this seller is one of them.

IMO, a seller who mixes is often more dangerous than a seller who wouldn't know an authentic item if it bit her; buyers blindly trust a seller with authentic items and assume all items are the real deal.

ETA: And in fact, that same bag reported in the Hall of shame is shown in the "LOT" last picture of the listing you bought.
