From post #1 of this thread:

"All Authenticate This threads on tPF are meant to provide assistance to shoppers"

You've had a good share of freebies and were very careful not to mention that you were onselling. Not fair to genuine shoppers/buyers. And very bad form USING OTHERS' KNOWLEDGE TO PROFIT WITHOUT PAYING.

I'm NOT A BUYER or a SELLER. I was helping someone determine whether they had something of value,or something they were going to put in a box to donate. I was told this forum was a great way to connect with friendly purse fans and experts who will share their unbiased opinions and maybe help point you in the right direction. I'm sure there are a good share of folks on here looking to turn a quick profit but, there's also some of us who have good intentions. I'm a member of several online forums for a variety of topics, and have never experienced such judgmental behaviors especially from the moderators. If you're so worried about people profiting from your feedback start charging a fee.

You're making unfair assumptions, and I will gladly leave your forum!

Given that the photos on c o s e t t e's site are stolen from Prada's site, I was VERY, HUGELY, SUSPICIOUS about what you might receive. However after a microscopic comparison of your photos, it looks like you have received an authentic Prada.

That being said, they spruik the "entrupy" authentication system which we have proved here to be completely wrong in some cases, PARTICULARLY on Prada black saffiano totes. Just our experience here.

Thank you heaps missfiigy. So I take that it’s an authentic bag and do not need to return it? Is that a YES. If there is any doubt whatsoever then I will be inclined to return it. Don’t know what the entrupy authentication system is?

Unfortunately you are right - that there have been plenty of folks using our knowledge and making money. And because we don't read minds we tend to go with our many years of experience on this site. And our experience is generally that anyone with a large collection of items for authentication is probably selling. Because it has happened so often in the past. Sorry if you feel we are being unfair to you, but, as often happens, the many bad apples have spoiled things for the well intentioned, everyone else.

As for charging a fee, some of us do so through other agencies, however it is our good intention here to try to protect innocent, inexperienced, often naive and gullible, buyers.

Hope you can understand our point of view.
