Computer glitch? Here's what it says on the site: *Mercari is currently experimenting with human and machine translations on our site. Just a friendly reminder: while we strive for accuracy, please be aware that machine translated content may not be perfect.

I think Japanese seller use a translation program to help with their listings.

"Matthew Healy" and "grabtan" are among the terms they seem to get. I can't think of others right now, but there are several seemingly random words.

Search ebay for the key words and find (mostly) Japanese listings. (Other sellers may find those terms and use them too but it's a predominantly Japanese thing.)

Can someone please authenticate this patent leather Sabrina?
Its kind of a hot mess…has a bunch of staining, but cheap enough that it might be a fun rehab project if it’s real? But also maybe it’s a lost cause…lol! Just curious! Thank you :smile:

It looks authentic. IMO it is a lost cause. Somehow when you get marks like that on patent, they seem to be under the patent coating. It's hard to cover them up because paint doesn't stick to patent. Nail polish doesn't work. The only way to remove them is to remove the patent coating, which I saw someone do on youtube once, but I don't remember what they used, maybe acetone? Once you get the marks off, you can apply varnish to make it look like patent again.

Appreciate the honesty! I’ll save myself from the overly ambitious task.
