This is just my opinion.. for the first 2 I don't think they are authentic. Only because I have a gucci Eclipse tote in the off white leather trim and I don't think my Gucci tag, front and back look like it. Also, I bought this bag brand new at the Gucci store last year or the year before and it was around $800. I can't see this being sold for such a lower price.

I also think the 3rd is priced very low and I don't remember an individual separate zippered pocket section that is the length of the bag. But I could be wrong.

I think Gucci is very hard to authenticate. I can only comment when I think something is off and the others I'm just not sure..

I think people try to help when they can. It's really a big responsibility to say if anything is fake or not and maybe there is a hesitation if they are unsure.

I try to comment on bags that I do have and can compare them too. I know mine were all purchased at Gucci boutiques.

A good ebay me page to reference is aegiale but I think she's more vintage items..

ALso, I know I say this ALOT.. But I think Gucci is so hard to authenticate because they are not consistent with their details. For me, if the price is too good to be true, it probably is. There are Gucci Outlets and Gucci does go on sale but some of these prices are way too good to be true. Gucci does have a sale twice a year and they typically sell their discontinued / seasonal items for 30% off Canvas and 40% off leather. I would keep this in mind when looking at auctions. If someone is claiming to be selling anything brand new and currently selling in the store, I would walk away from it...

Sak's/ Neiman's and other dept stores have their sales around the same time before Gucci and sometimes before and they will do deeper discounts but it's usually on the stuff that didn't move on the first round of sales.

I hope this helps..

Please help me authenticate a med horsebit hobo I just got. What is the serial number and how many digits should the first row of numbers and the second row of numbers have? Anyone that own the same bag, and I know you are out there looking pretty with it, please help. Thank you ladies!

Can you post pictures of the bag? Often the fakes will have valid serial numbers.

Do you have any pictures of the bottom of the bag? Did it come with any cards? The tag looks a little off to me, but maybe it is just the picture.

Thank you for responding :) If you click on the picture it takes you to the ebay site. These are the only pictures I have so far because I haven't gotten the bag yet. I hope to have it in a couple of days and will post more pictures then.
