^^^ITA.

It's curious that there seems some sort of correlation between seller's attitude and the quality of the bags they list.

It reminds me what our authenticator always tell us:
We need to know the seller when considering to purchase their bags.

Sweetie!!! Put yourself in my place when u try something for the 1 st time and are accused of something not being true and everyone making assumptions!!! I read through others making opionions on authentcity and seeing that they are wrong saying a fake is auth and vice versa. So really seller from Hell come one lets get real here. Put yourself in my shoes spending almost 35k on 3 bags and deciding to sell them and then someone on a site like this says "ooh dont buy anyone alert fake!!!!! because she has the hottest colors fresh from the store!!! Now please all of you think and and again put yourself in my shoes and understand why I am angry

Handbag*Diva, I can appreciate how you feel. I had the same thing happen to me. BUT, I stuck around to learn everything I could about Hermes (yes, even as a near lifelong collector, I still have tons to learn), and have made some wonderful friends.

I notice you've been a member of the Forum for a good while, but rarely post. Stick around and participate. You may be surprised what an informative and welcoming place this is.

The same thing happened to me as well--my first posts here happened when someone made a comment about a bag and an acquaintance told me to join tpf and make a correction. I did. I stayed. The rest is history.

There is, however, a trail of data and some telling details that link you to the bonanzle ID. If anything, those listings predated yours and it makes me very confused about how they could have stolen data from you since their listings appeared first.

Perigord I dont understand trailed to me????? Because of my pics were taking from that seller, I saw that listing anyway and just reported them. It's sad really how someones rep gets ruined. I guess I will be busy doing new detailed pics of my 3 beauties. :D also my bags have been listed twice already on Ebay and now its expired and will relist the 3rd time. So I think something is wrong in the date in the other websites.

Wow, handbag*diva. You DO have a problem. Seems they stole your backgrounds, too!!!! Because there is a photo of a "lizard" bag being modelled by someone who looks awfully like the woman in your listing, with the identical background, on the Bonanzle seller's web site. And check your jewellery box, because she's wearing the same rings.

And a search on Goofbay, which shows all listings going back 90 days, indicaterd that with the exception of the jpg, this was the first listing in a quarter of a year for all bags. The jpg originally ended July 16 and was immediately relisted. I cannot find any indication of the bags being listed three times.

The bonanzle site previously referenced shows an auction that began some time ago. Same background, same hand, same jewelry. Same woman modeling. It predated your listings.

I am sorry to put forth these kinds of questions, but it is in the best interest of the community here to understand the context when bags are brought for authentication.

1st of all I new to this and being defensive only because when u know u have something authentic and u spent so much at an Hermes boutique and someone tells u its fake really upsets anyone. It seems everyone steal or copy peoples pics and I dont even know what bonzalea is! I reassure everyone my bags are authentic and I would meet anyone that has interests at the hOuston boutique. All the best

I have followed these exchanges from the beginning, and now I ask myself how I would have reacted if I had indeed purchased two or three new bags from an H boutique for the purpose of selling them to third parties at a higher price.

I think that I would have reacted with provable facts. I would have said I purchased the bags at such and such boutique on such and such date, and the Joe Blow was my salesperson etc. and that I have my original Hermes store sales receipts from that same store containing that information.

I would have provided all this information immediately the first question about my bags authenticity arose. I would have answered all the questions raised here in a direct way.

I regret to say that I am still unconvinced based on the wording in your replies to the various issues raised here that your bags are what you say.

ladies, this is WAAAAAAY off topic. If you are not asking an authenticity question or answering one you should not be posting in this thread. This is not a thread to give opinions on price or anything else or to question folks.

Back to topic please.
