Although I'm not commenting or recommending the listing in question, I have a comment about another of bellahexchange's listings.

This is fake so at best, she's an unknowing mixer. At worst, she hopes to earn your trust and sneaks fakes in hoping buyers won't catch them.

I'm really not sure about that one. There are others in my files with similar serial fonts that are questionable and there just aren't enough other details to help confirm whether or not it's good. But I wouldn't recommend buying it.

The rest of the creed and serial number is fine. I have at least one other example in my files where those 2 letters almost look like numbers, click on the thumbnail:

It doesn't hurt to post on the seller's listing (especially if you were the buyer) that the bag is fake and illegal to sell.

Posters have to be careful with that. That's what I call "Doing a Dale/Dave" and is one of the many reasons why they eventually kicked his arse off the site. But he did it to an extreme and then when he tried to sneak around the rule they caught on and suspended him. Anyway, the seller can just delete the post. I don't know if they'd do anything to someone who actually got stuck with a fake and Commented about it.

It's fine. I'm not really a rehabber but I'm not sure those pictures show enough to tell if it's been painted.

Why not ask the seller?
