Thank you for your reply! She did have the measurements posted as well...14" across, 11" high, and 6" wide. The picture of her showing the inside though does make it seem smaller. I will see if I can get some more info from her. Thanks again!

If it is a used bag, it could just be she doesn't know what the resale value is. If it is a NEW bag, it is definitely a fake! No one would list it for that cheap if they just paid 298.00 for it! Is it new or used? and please ask for a pic of the inside label and date code tab would help very much.I do have to say, that the first photo looks very good! Nice color too. I have never seen the Python in that color. Also, is that a 'Buy It Now' price?? Or is it a starting bid??

Also, after re reading the rules here, you are supposed to list the
Item Name
Item number
Item Seller
Link to listing
We need this information because it helps in so many ways. I understand why many don't want to post a listing that isn't over yet, because of fear someone else might grab it before you! lol! I have had that same fear myself. Regardless, it is the rules and we really should follow them. See the rules on the first page of this thread. I think we can still help if you can get more pics from the seller, but we really should follow the rules!
Oops! I just looked and we may be OK here, because the same rules are not posted at the beginning of this thread, like they are on all the other brands, so we are good! But that information, really does help. Can you at least tell us what website it is on? Is it on ebay? Or did you find it on some bogus MK outlet online store? Keep this in mind, that Michael Kors has NO ONLINE OUTLETS!! Any that you see are selling counterfeits! There are legitimate sellers that have their own websites, but they will not claim they are a Michael Kors Outlet, and will have their own name. Thank you.

last pic of first auction is very strange, that's not how those bags are packed-. and seems more PVC than saffiano.
Second aucion, more pics needed.
FIRST BAG - Ask for more pics of the interior lining, label and date code tab. Those pics would be very helpful. HOWEVER, this seller has quite a few complaints for selling fakes! So checking the seller out is VERY important! Check out this feedback from Toolhaus...I would stay away from this seller.last pic of first auction is very strange, that's not how those bags are packed-. and seems more PVC than saffiano.

SECOND BAG - Again, not enough photos . Too hard to tell. Ask seller to take pic of interior using flash. Need to see lining, label and date code tab as well as any hardware to indicate signs of authenticity. This seller appears to be very reputable, but doesn't put enough photos in their listings. Some only have one photo. No way to judge without requested pics.
Try to find sellers that show photos of all angles, especially the interior lining, label and date code tag. Sellers that don't show these pics. are too much hassle for me! If they can't be bothered to show us what we need to see, than why should we be bothered with them?? I find it really irritating to have to email for pics that should already be there! And THEN, they get offended! lol! When all you are trying to do, is validate, what they should already have validated! Uhg, I personally would move on! You can do better , I am sure. Unless you want to go through all of that. IF, they send you the pics, post them here and we can determine.
So in summary, FORGET about the first listing. Seller is selling fakes and that one probably is too!
There is hope for the second listing, but you must see more pics. Hope you can get them. While you are waiting, try to find a seller that shows more information. They are out there! Good Luck!

Yes, sorry! This may sound silly, but it was on a facebook buy and sell site. She does usually list other higher end purses from time to time saying that she has too many. It is lightly used (according to her). There were a few other ladies interested in it like I figured there would be, so I took a chance and transferred the money to her as I live a couple hours away. She did send me a picture after I gave you the measurements late last night for a size comparison, and they were pretty spot on, so it isn't a mini. I am picking it up tomorrow so could let you know how I made out. But I agree with you, the first picture has a very good, promising look to it, so I will keep my fingers crossed!
I hope you paid with a credit card or PayPal, because you can always do a charge back if it turns out to be fake, or use Pay Pal protection. Hopefully you won't have to. If you just used your debit card, there isn't much you can do. That is why I like sites like eBay that have buyer protection. But that is a heck of a price, if that bag is authentic! Wow! . Please do post a pic of the interior label and 'made in country' tab with the date code on it, once you get it, and we can tell you if you really got a good deal or not. Good Luck! .
Yikes!! Please report!

Thank goodness it was removed! Thanks to anyone who helped one less person get ripped off!
Hi! I am brand new to this site and I've been scrolling through looking at posts and replies and you ladies rock! I'm so happy I found this site because I've seen several fakes (according to the experts) here that I would've sworn were authentic. It is VERY scary that the counterfeiters are getting that good!!! I've found an MK that I would love to buy but now I'm very leery after seeing all these really good fakes. Like I said, I'm brand new to the site so I'm not sure how this works on here but I'd really like to find out for certain if this bag I'm interested in is the real deal before I jump in head first. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello and welcome! You have to post a link or an an item number if it is on ebay so we can take a look at it. If it is on another site, tell us the name of the site and post a link to the bag . Thank you.
I'm not sure of the actual name of the bag, but it's listed as Michael Kors and it's on a Facebook buy and sell page local in my area. I do have photos of the bag and it looks authentic to me but I'm no expert. I thought I was fairly good at spotting fakes until I saw some that have been posted here.
We can't tell you anything without photos. Please download them and then up load them here. Or you can click on the photo of the bag and copy paste the link here. I can tell you we have seen TOO many fakes on facebook! And that one facebook guide is so full of bad information it is scary! I believe the party that started it , who is from MALAYSIA, is selling counterfeits on their website and much of what they stated to look for, was wrong. SO do yourself a favor and post it here. We can help you to not get burned!
Something important I need to tell you, is that when you buy off of facebook there is absolutely no recourse to get your money back. A few hundred dollars is a lot to throw away. At least on sites like ebay, amazon, or many others. you have their buyer protection and money back guarantee. If the facebook seller has their bags linked from eBay or a dependable site, than it is much safer and is ok, but if the bags are just listed directly onto facebook, there is no kind of protection. So please keep that in mind.
