^^This upsets me because i'm hoping to find a gently loved Caroline on ebay. The only place left that sells them is NM. It's a 1,500.00 bag that i'd like to get a little off of.
Now what...:crybaby:

I think you misunderstood.. she refers to the MP (multipocket) bags, not ALL MJ bags... There are indeed real MJs online, you just need to extra careful.

Yes, I think this one is real. I have the exact same bag and everything is identical. If you want to be extra sure, ask for the Lampo zipper photo and the made in italy stamp that is embossed on the suede inside.

It is indeed the smallest of the Quinns. I find that I don't use this bag very often unless it's for going out at night because it barely holds my wallet and my phone at the same time. It also squishes up because the handles attach at the bottom of the bag. I wish it was bigger!

Thank you so much thithi! I really appreciate your input ;)

The second one looks fake, the leather is too smooth. Also I read that the seller hghandbags has been know to sell fakes mixed in with some real bags.

This is a great link to check out sellers http://forum.purseblog.com/authenticate-this/list-of-bad-problem-ebay-sellers-11480.html

Also anytime you see complaints about authenticity, beware! You are spending lots of money and you may wind up with some cheap plastic bag that is worth less than a walmart bag.

I think so too but thanks for letting me know that ****** is a bad seller. Negative feedback about authenticity is always concern me even though a seller has other thousand of positive feedbacks. Do you think the first link is ok? It looks fine to me but the seller has trouble sending the pics that I want.

Ok, more update. She just sent me a reply with these two new pics. I asked her for a pic of underneath the zipper where it says 'riri' and this is what she wrote me back:

"I do not have the receipt but I have the original marc jacobs tag with the price also the zippers on this bag are new they do not have writing on them"

 I've never heard that the new Marc Jacobs bags don't have 'riri' printed on the zipper, or she didn't understand what I asked? I'm very much confused and a little frustrated whether to buy this bag or not. She seems avoiding my request for the 'riri' zipper picture cause I asked her twice already!

Any more input about this?

I actually asked her the same thing and she sent the same photos. I don't know if she doesn't understand the question or what. The only other suggestion is to ask her for a photo of the tag inside the interior pocket, the one that should start with F06. A lot of fake bags can't get that part right. (Assuming it's a Fall '06 release... not sure if it's considered Spring/Summer, in which case it would be S06 followed by the serial number).

If you don't mind paying the price that ****** is charging, you could always get a stam at saks.com and use the 10% off code. Or you could call a store and have them deliver to you. This thurs Saks is having their GC event in stores, a Stam could probably get you at least $150 in GCs.

I think this one is real. Not too many fakes of this style, but the fake ones that I have seen have the pockets off and this one looks correct. It's a good price for this bag. It was listed before at a higher price and it looks like the seller reduced it to sell quicker.

I had been looking at that auction too. I thought the bag looked genuine- it looks just like my petrol, but the seller never answered me where they bought it and what was the color of the bag.

Then I found this from ioffer from a seller of many fakes in hong kong and became concerned

Maybe these are stock photos of real bags, I don't know. I'm not sure what color this is either.
