Hi zerodross!

ALL of these pictures are of authentic Dior bags. I noticed something strange though...if you look inside the two Lady Dior bags you'll notice that both have a partition in the middle, but one has leather forming the top of the partition and one doesn't. I know that Dior styles aren't always consistent, but I find that rather strange. It doesn't make them inauthentic, though. However, I'm not too sure about truisting the seller with only 2 feedback scores. I've been ripped off once by a seller with only 1 feedback score (she stole my money and ran away!).

One more thing...the reserve on the cannage quilted drawstring tote is very high...so high that you can actually get this at a boutique for almost the same price (and not have to wait for shipping and Ebay anxiety). Plus the seller has private feedback, which is a bit alarming to me.

Hi Mayday,
thanks for the sound advice given, it's very much appreciated, especially having you point out the partition bit which i didn't even notice. thank god for you! :smile1:

if you don't mind me asking, do you think the price for the beige dior (eBay: Christian Dior Womens Purse Handbag Canvas $830 Lk New (item 170042586384 end time Oct-31-06 18:02:57 PST)) is worth it? considering the straps are broken (and i wonder if dior would replace it for me).

thanks for the help nonetheless!

Hi again zerodross!

You're very welcome!

That price is absolutely not worth it. The actual bag at the boutique isn't that expensive (it's not even over $1000...I think it's under $700 too). I actually saw the same bag in used but excellent condition listed this morning with a buy-it-now price of $349 which was sold by noon (I was watching the bag and that's how I knew it was sold...I wish I didn't delete it from my list because I could've posted the link here). Even at $349 I was debating because I could pay just a bit more for one (in mint condition) at a boutique.

Besides, if they can't repair the bag, then you're stuck with a bag that you can't even carry. I wouldn't want to risk that at over $250.

I think that if you wait a bit longer you'll find more of these bags on Ebay for far better prices :yes:

Mayday and others,

Who or where do you recommend to get auth. CD sunglassesw/o paying retail prices? Mayday, are you an expert on sunglasses as well?

Yep! :D...I think sunglasses are actually a bit easier to tell than other Dior items only because fake sunglasses tend to look quite awful (sunglasses don't sell for much so counterfeiters do not put as much effort or as many resources to make them).

I find that there are certain sellers on Ebay that sell all authentic Dior sunglasses at 1/2 price or even less. NYdistributers is one of them and is my fave. They ship the same day if you pay before 4:00pm and the item arrives the next day even if you live in Canada (they do UPS Express shipping), which happened for me when I purchased from them :yes:. There are quite a few other sellers too but I like NYdistributers the most (because they have better feedback and you can get deals for sunglasses that don't come in original Dior cases). NYdistributers also doesn't run into the trouble of sending you the wrong glasses unlike a few other sellers (and if it does happen they immediately send you the correct one, as the feedback indicates).

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say that a certain seller is good, so if anyone tells me that it's not allowed I'll just edit the seller out of this post.

Thanks so much MayDay................I even wrote to her and asked before you responded and she sent me an email saying
eBay: CHRISTIAN DIOR GAUCHO BAG "AUTHENTIC" ALMOST NEW !!!!! (item 220042422456 end time Nov-03-06 18:54:51 PST)

she's going through a bad time etc.

Sorry to sound mean and unsympathetic for the seller, but I really don't think that a bad time justifies ripping people off.

Besides, I don't even trust her. If she can lie about the authenticity what can't she lie about?
