hello! no, i paid. i'll just have to wait til it shows up and start the process of returning it. she seems like a nice seller and she's sold a number of authentic bags, so hopefully an e-mail from mypoupette.com will resolve the matter without too much drama. this is my first jimmy and i bought it on impulse... which we all know is bad. argh.

thank you for the assistance!




how does this one look?

FAKE! There was one authentic one in white in this style on e-bay for $399. Don't know if it is still there.

what do you think about this Mahala?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290152788449&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:US:11

Seller has 100% feedback, but I can't see the zipper in enough detail and the leather panel around the inside zipper doesn't seem right...it doesnt seem as rounded as some the authenic ones members have posted.

Also seller was not very helpful when I asked for a close up of one of the front zippers to see the teeth

Here's the 1st reply "if you see the pic towards the bottom there is a picture of the 2 front zippered pockets. these are the pics that were taken of the bag and many as well. what are you looking for and we are happy to help if it is something specific just ask"

So I asked again that I would need to see a close-up and here's the 2nd reply "As previously stated and answered these are the pictures provided if you would like to ask any of these 'detailed' questions we are happy to answer them for you for you to determine authenticity. please let us know what you want to know about the zippers and we will answer otherwise sorry."

Doesnt seem right to me...anyone know the seller? Thoughts on authenticity??:confused1:

i know, i know, robyn! i thought the same thing about the inside! :s but i keep hopin' that i'm gonna find a good one. i think i just need to stop browsing and get something productive DONE at home! :true:
thanks for your input! i really just need to sit tight, save up and wait for casey to call when the winter sale starts! maybe i can score a nice riki in a color i will love! :yes: but browsing is such an addiction! :angel:

Darlie....don't give up! I got a pristine black Ramona for $650 including shipping/insurance from a trusted Ebay seller! :yahoo: I've seen a few authentic Ramonas in MUCH better shape than the one you posted go for around $750, so the deals are out there. While it's true most of the bags on Ebay are fake, if you keep looking you will find an authentic bag for a great price! :yes:

I was REALLY lucky with my 2 Choos. I got my Burgundy Riki for 50% off during the JC online sale and I got a great deal on my Ramona on Ebay. Like you, I'll probably wait until the Winter sale to make another purchase....50% off is too hard to beat! Of course you do run the risk of a bag that you may love now being sold out by then. But there's really nothing I can't live without at the moment. And my Riki bag is going to be hard to beat....LOVE that bag! If anything, I wish I would have gotten the burgundy Ring bag as well. I love Robyn and Samantha's bags! :heart:

do you have a photograph of the colour as I wondered if it was light beige or a more golden shade as I've seen a photograph on this thread somewhere and the lining looks darker than I thought it was.

Here you go:smile1: I was off looking for this photo just now and remembered I put it in this thread:
http://forum.purseblog.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=183499&d=1179947547

I am not as familiar with some of the earlier models of JC Bags, but all the one's I've seen in the past couple of years (except for the Zebra print Ramona) have this color lining. Some of the other members who are more familiar with earlier models can correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is a "staple" for JC bags:confused1:
