They all look good to me, but of course I would ask for more photos to confirm if I was seriously considering purchasing. The only one I don't like is #3, because it looks like most of the information was taken from another auction, such as the two different fonts in the description, and the small thumbnails, which she probably copied without enlarging first and then posted on her own auction. The only photos that enlarge is the first photo(which is deja vu, I think I've seen that photo elsewhere), and the reciept, which she may have taken herself.

And did you notice that the Venetia auction's last photo is a Multipocket photo, not a Venetia? Perhaps she bought both bags during the Anniversary sale.

I know the auction photo of the zipper is blurry, but it sort of looks like it says riri m8 to me, do you think it says m6?

My Black Ursula Elise says riri M8 clearly (capitalized M8 is quite big, just as tall as riri -- can't be missed. If riri can be read off the picture, the same should apply to M8 no matter how blurry the picture is). My zipper is just like Midnight Bowler's (red_yogini's picture below), I really doubt Elise would use different zipper size based on color (Black vs Midnight).

Hi thithi!!! I still have #3 in my ebay items from the last time she listed it....She listed it a couple weeks ago and actually she's come down $50.00 in her "buy it now" price..A few people..(I'd have to check) authenticated it here.....Man...I kept checking her listings to see if she would relist...Bummer! Oh well...My new one is coming from the Dallas Neiman's Thursday! :heart: Emmy

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

I think quite a few people are smitten by that red...she took off the BIN. I have yet to receive any photos. Did you get them?

Nothing and I emailed her the day she posted her auction.

Me too. I guess they are too busy to mail photos, and I usually prefer sellers that respond within a reasonable time frame. Just a "hey, I got your email, and will send pics later" or whatever would be fine.

oops sorry....I forgot the link

eBay: Marc Jacobs Stam Handbag (item 120027606137 end time Sep-06-06 11:21:38 PDT)

Stam bags are very difficult to authenticate on Ebay, simply because of the flood of fakes. And the fakes have progressively gotten better and better. True Stams rarely sell for less than $800 and even more rarely if ever get listed under $300. And with this seller's lack of feedback it's difficult to tell if she's a reliable seller. I personally don't have a Stam, and wouldn't purchase one from Ebay unless it was a legitimate seller with receipts and tags. And not just MJ store receipts, as those are widely faked also.

The only positive thing I can say is that from appearance with the few photos that are shown, it looks ok, including the serial tag which is usually done incorrectly by fakers. But I'm not saying it's real either, for all I know they can be doing it correctly these days. I'd still need to see the zipperhead and the bottom of the bag.

And how long has this auction been listed? If it's a 1 day listing, forget about it.

Thithi, I just asked the seller to add/send an upclose picture of the bottom of the zipper. From the current pic, it looks off to me.

^Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the Hobo Stam... Perhaps another member who owns one can help. I guess standard photos should include the nameplate and the back of the zipperhead, and maybe a photo of the bottom. You can also ask other forums to authenticate her other bags for sale, such as the Kooba.
