Genuine Duffle Sac style 9085 from the late 1980s

Thanks hyacinth

The bag is fine.

(On another note, why don't sellers dress their mannequins?)

Yep, that skeeves me out too. At least put a t-shirt in it. If they were REALLY smart they'd have a T made showing their Ebay ID.

I believe that this bag is fake. Would you please have a look?
I haven’t found a way of linking on my new IPad. Is it sufficient to list the seller:
ne.veg.finds
and the eBay listing #:
224423863188

i think just learned how to link. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!

Definitely fake.

Thank you, Hyacinth. I am not sure what will happen next. I already started to rehab the bag. It was covered with shoe polish and I removed some of it with acetone. I have started a return request but suspect that I can’t return it because the bag is not in its original condition, fake or not.

Unfortunately that's probably what will happen. You shouldn't even have to return the bag since it's counterfeit and can't legally be resold, but maybe @BeenBurned might have some suggestions.

There's nothing to lose by trying. And the fact that the listing (along with 2 others) was removed as fake can't hurt.

Before opening a SNAD dispute, contact ne.vtg.finds and try to work it out without a dispute. (If the seller is smart, she'll just tell you to dispose of the bag and issue a full refund. It's a waste of money for her to pay return shipping for an item that's illegal to resell.)

Then, if the seller refuses, open a dispute.

Refer her here if necessary.

I think the request was skipped for a couple of possible reasons.

1. There may not be someone who knows that bag well enough to authenticate it.
2. (This is more likely.) The pictures in the listing aren't adequate for authentication purposes. There's at last one missing picture that is necessary and if more pictures are needed, they'll be requested.

From the post at the top of the page:

• If applicable, search interior of bag and/or pockets for small white tag with production information and include a picture of that.

I'd also like to see clear pictures of both sides of the made in tag.

Thank you very much, BeenBurned. Very kindly noted.

The bag in question is fine but there's a history on the seller, shop4you!. (This is why we need seller IDs in posts! It makes the seller searchable.)

don't post the request over and over! If you don't get an answer, be patient. Not all authenticators have the expertise to handle every request. Sometimes requests do inadvertently skipped. If you haven't received an answer in about 12 hours, feel free to bump your request, by quoting it. Please don't post the same information again. It makes extra work for us.

Both bags by the seller FeelsFree are authentic. Generally if I post something in the deals thread, I've already determined it to be authentic. If I haven't or there isn't enough information in the listing to authenticate, I will say so in my post.
