I am sorry but how can you buy such expencive items from sellers who deal in $5-20 products?

Naivete? Optimistic perspective on human nature? :) just kidding. Seriously, this one is via an online broker/eBay trader from someone I know (acquaintance). Bag is escrowed which is why I'm taking extra pictures. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from the expertise and saavyness of the folks here, and am grateful that this Forum provides a safe haven for me to ask these types of embarassing questions. I guess I should go with my gut but I'd appreciate your input and analysis of the photo details provided.
 
I think it looks good, but I am confused by the shot which shows part of the interior, is it lined in a different color leather? A shot of the interior would be helpful.
Hello Babebebi, The photos were taken with flash, some without, because its hard to find good shot of interior lining and zipper. I am adding additional photos of the lining inside the bag. http://s982.photobucket.com/albums/ae308/geecharern/HERMES 35CM Navy Blue Kelly Bag/ http://s982.photobucket.com/albums/ae308/geecharern/Interior/
These are the photos of the actual lining color. Thank you so much

There are several things that are not right with your bag and I am not going to go into a description of them. It is up to you if you want to keep it. What I do not understand is that you claim to have had another experience with a fake bag, so I don't understand why you purchased this prior to asking for authentication.

I suggest you take it to the boutique for a spa, and see what they say.
 
Sorry to intrude. The seller says on eBay that the stamp is O, your picture shows I and the receipt shows a bag that was purchased for around $5,500?

This bag was purchase in 2005 so stamp "I" is true. I have no idea why the seller says "O" and I don't exactly know how much it's value should be in that year??? Can anyone tell me please...Thanks

An O stamped bag could only be 1959 or 1985, neither of which this bag could possibly be. The next O stamp will be in a square and is next year. The year a bag was purchased can differ from the year of its stamp, by the way.

I suggest, as others have done, that you take this bag to Hermes for their opinion. The photos are inconclusive.
 
Can anyone help me out on this one? It might be a good alternative to the Bolide I so desperately want but cannot afford right now...It was posted before, but didn't get any replies regarding authenticity. So here goes again:

Item: Hermes Escapade
Item number: 170466331922
Seller: girlspunk
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/HERMES-ESCAPADE...WH_Handbags?hash=item27b095cd12#ht_539wt_1165

TIA!

I believe this to be an authentic bag. The price is a steal. Most people don't know about it. The bags are usually 31 and 37. More formal than a Trim and wider at the base and more formed. Very nice bag!
 
These pictures are really not adequate. But nevertheless, I think this is a fake. You can post close ups if you like. But I am not optimistic.
