I have more pics:
Did you already buy it?

Personally I wouldn't have recommended buying from dnamktg2. She shills or it's incredibly coincidental that many of her feedbacks are from a seller by the name of dnamktg888. (BTW, to add to the "coincidences," both are from Las Vegas, NV.)
 
Yes, I bought it. The price was originally $519 with $16 shipping, I think. She sent me more pics, and cut me a deal, as you can see.
I noticed that too about the feedback, which is why I brought it to your attention.

However, I am going to see what happens. She has been communicating very well with me, not like some of the "robots" I have dealt with in the past.

Crossing my fingers...

ETA: The listing had the $519 as a BIN, but $399 start bid. So no bidding took place, just to clarify.

I noticed the other ID too. These are definitely the same person. Both are in the same location and both sell the same items, some with only stock photos, and use same description text and font. They both take hangtags off of items to sell separately. There is also shill bidding going on.

Dnamktg2 / dnamktg888 is not off to a good start on ebay. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable buying from this seller.

The bag may be authentic, though that "creed" is a mess. PLUS, I don't know if the bag has been "enhanced" in any way.

But you should read the information about that seller before you decide to buy.

;)

I bought from them. The bag I purchased was haphazardly repaired and 'cosmetically enhanced'.

They also bought from me, 'fixed' the bag up, and flipped it.



Buying ID ;)

Interesting. Thanks for the ID. I looked through the first page of the feedback and it doesn't look like she makes any effort to authenticate before buying. She's bought several fakes.

You're welcome! I noticed the fakes, too.

I'm just not sure what she does to the bags to make them appear so clean and new, so buyer beware. I sold them a very vtg Coach that was not 100% perfect. I tried my hand at reviving and it looked pretty good, but not perfect. The day after they received my bag, it was listed, and it looked flawless. :/

You can do amazing things with wax, polish, dye, and of course, Photoshop!!

Thanks! There were some things that gave them away. ;) One of them being when the bag was relisted, our creed #'s matched, and it was a kinda rare bag in a kinda rare color.

Wax, huh? I thought I did a pretty good job on my bag rehab (thanks to the tips here :smile1:), but it still had some stains on the inside that seemed impossible (unlined vtg), and it had a flaw on the outside I couldn't fix. It bothered me, so I flipped it. It took a lot of time for me to get the bag in a nice, clean condition. I couldn't understand how they fixed the one flaw so fast AND cleaned those inside stains! In less than 24 hours. :hrmm: Now I know!

When I referred to the treatments that Sophistifashion and other sellers do to rehab their bags, I was being sarcastic.

Be aware that there are buyers who prefer their bags to be in "natural" condition and do not want shoe polish and dyes on their leathers.

If you use those products, please be honest and disclose it in your listings.
