TLN, thanks. I was just looking around ebay for authentic bags (in case members here are interested) & trying to learn too. =) They are not on my to-buy list, I'm not supposed to be buying anymore bags for a while. LOL.

What's the consensus on this Ursula Elise?
eBay: GORGEOUS MARC JACOBS QUILTED ELISE BAG IN MIDNIGHT BLUE (item 270025348403 end time Sep-08-06 17:28:04 PDT)

I know I shouldn't be spending any more money right now, let alone on bags, but boy howdy have I been wanting a blue bag, and I've always loved the Elise shape. Hooray for irresponsibility!
That said, it looks wrinkly and crinkly enough, the zipper head is rounded and the hardware looks good to me, but I'm far from being an expert. The seller's relatively low score number (44) is a little off-putting, though.

For comparison, take a look at this authentic Midnight Bowler. The bottom part of the zipper says riri M8 .
eBay: MARC JACOBS MIDNIGHT BLUE PATENT BOWLER Bag Stam BNWT (item 6892472582 end time Jun-14-06 08:51:37 PDT)

The marking is different in this listed Elise. I would have to check my Elise (got it from NM online) to see if it uses a different zipper size.

^ The bag is not authentic. My black Ursula Elise (purchased from Neiman Marcus) uses riri M8 zippers. Take a look at the bottom part of the zipper (riri M8) of this authentic Midnight Bowler.

Sweet. Thanks for the update. Someone already started bidding, what a shame.

No problem. =) That Elise doesn't look as smooth as other Ursula replicas. I doubt that Midnight Elise uses a different zipper size than Black Elise & Midnight Bowler. Any Midnight Elise owners here? =)

I do this, too...see if I can call them. What do you think about #3? I am also thinking that Stella is more of a Wine than a bright red like the photos show.

I've been admiring that red Stella too. I don't know what color it's supposed to be. I had emailed the seller, but no response from her either. I did notice that back of that stella has the hide lined up the middle like my other Stellas, so the leather looks right.

^ I believe the Stella is authentic, I don't know the official color name though but MJ made various reds. I looked over the seller's feedbacks, she's a big purse lover. =) Wait for more pictures & color description, sellers can be slow with responses during this long weekend. =)

I think it looks authentic too, but I wish I could figure out what color it is. I am smitten by the red.
