SuLi, the pictures are so blurry, wait for more pictures. This small bowler looks okay, fakes have iron-flat handles; I'm so glad that replica makers couldn't get the patent leather right.

Okay ladies...

As some of you can probably tell, I'm on a quilted anything hunt right now - namely, a quilted bowler. I saw this auction this morning, but can't really tell whether it's authentic or not. I've e-mailed the seller asking for pictures of the zipper head. What do you guys think on cursory glance?

I can't see the pics either, but most of the things I've seen that seller sell is authentic, albeit used/damaged/store display. I've purchased something from the sister store, namebrandoutlet4320. I'll check back again later, maybe the pics will work then.

It looks OK to me, from what I can see. I wish there were more photos of the bag, specifically the bottom and maybe a side view. She has too many close ups, which is not a bad thing, it just feels incomplete to me. Her other sale items makes her appear to be an individual seller clearing out her closet as all items are similar in size. I think that's a good sign.

Thank you thithi--I requested more pics hopefully I will get them before the autctions ends :rolleyes: One more question, do you or any of the other ladies know if it is common practice for dept. stores to punch small holes on the interior of the bag? I've never seen this even at Last Call, Off 5th so I wasn't sure--Thanks!

eBay: MARC JACOBS ZIP CLUTCH WALLET BLACK Calfskin (item 120053312235 end time Nov-17-06 13:49:36 PST)

Do you guys know how much this retails for?
Thanks

I think it retails for $425. I have a bad feeling about this seller, he's sold 3 wallets already and none of them look right to me. Specifically the quality of the leather and the shape of the front pouches look off to me. I'd stay away from this one.

A few days ago, I received a stam that I had ordered for my younger sister off eBay since it was cheaper, the seller said that it was second-hand, and it seemed to match all the right requirements (including the riri zippers, etc.) I wanted her to stop feeling so bad about me getting my own stam so I bought it off the seller.

After looking at my new original black stam that I bought for $1,000+ from the States, however, and the $400+ one from eBay, I really thought it was original because everything seemed identical (although the smell of the leather was slightly different and her interior was a mauve/maroon type of color, while mine is cream).

Then I took a look at the bottom of the bag in comparison to mine and realized that my bag has a perfect alignment of diamonds, but hers doesn't have them perfectly aligned. The diamonds are offset from each other.

Is this justifiable to determine that the bag is a fake? If so, I will immediately tell the seller to refund my money. I'll feel bad about my sister winding up with nothing, but I think that's a better deal than getting screwed by someone off eBay.

This is the problem with buying off eBay, the doubts just DO NOT end at all regardless of the price. Thank God I can hug my own stammie knowing he came from the right home. :yes:

Please help. Thanks!

LYO :o)
