heres another picture that i got from her. She only sent me 2 pics. She's not a friend but I know her from a friend and she said we could meet up so I can check the bag before I decide to buy and pay for it. the asking price is $7000. I didnt ask what kinda leather nor where she got the bag from.

If you are not comfortable authenticating a bag from pictures you will not be able to do it in person.
$7,000 is a massive amount (in my book, at least) to risk and there is always a huge level of risk in these situations.
While there are always (rare) exceptions, the friend-of-a-friend far too often ends poorly for the buyer.
I would not part with $7,000.00 based on just these two pictures.....
teddy......if you are thinking of purchasing a Birkin from someone you, personally, do not know very well, I'd recommend spending some time on this forum, educating yourself about the brand. Other than buying directly from the boutique or from a very reputable reseller this is the only way you can feel comfortable parting with your money.

Handbag*diva, I believe we have discussed your bags in the past. I believe that in addition to eBay you are selling under the ID myhauteexclusives on bonanzle.
I see you are selling the same bag on eBay and on bonanzle at the moment...

The same bag on eBay under your ID:

None of the authenticators have ever felt comfortable with any bags, and I do not believe anyone here can say with any degree of comfort that any bag we have observed on any of your sites are authentic.
Receipts are really meaningless. It is the bags and the images that are critical, and at this point there is no comfort level that I have observed with your bags.
Sellers are welcome to come here and add better data and discuss provenance when something comes up. I have found over the years that legitimate and experienced sellers respond with professionalism and that, in some cases, authenticators are able to reassess the situation and even change their minds.
On the other hand, there seems to be a direct correlation between defensive fury and questionable authenticity.
Our local Sherlock Holmes, Perigord you are a searcher par excellence! Thank you for this post.
aka hautexclusives on Bonanzle. AKA granddiamondshop and jumpoff1984 - all banned by Ebay and Bonanzle.
