by "off" I mean there are things about the bag that look off -- the texture of the velvet, the leather on on the handles, the way the handles are woven, the way it is sitting all look off to me. There is no way I would bid without first seeing the hologram and leather strip. Like I said, I have seen some pretty good-looking fakes before. They are not always obvious.

The Seller finally added a picture of the Hologram & Serial Strip. But it's not much help. It's illegible, you can't see the Hologram or Serial No. clearly. Do you think it's still too risky? Many thanks. :smile1:

Hi. I wasn't trying to be rude by asking for an additional opinion. I apologize if you feel offended at all. I do not know what to look for in terms of knowing right away something is fake. What made you know right away that it was a fake? Thanks so much for your help.

No offence taken :smile1: We don't like to list the reasons why a bag is fake or not, as we don't want to help the fakers make better fakes. Normally we ask to see photos of the hologram and serial strip to confirm, but I could tell this one was a fake without having looking at those... :s

There is no way - even if an authentic Fendi Spy is missing parts, is it going to go for $81...the fact that the seller only has 1 feedback is a red flag as well. And these two reasons were not even the reasons why the bag is fake.

Honestly, this is a really obvious fake. I think the best way for you to learn enough to at least be able to weed out the bad fakes is to watch this thread for a while and see which ones are real vs fake. You might also want to take a look at my spy picture reference for some pics of what an authentic spy looks like.
