Hello everyone,

I just received an email from a ebay seller, who tried to sell me a soleil ostrich birkin last year. I did not buy anything from him, because he was unwilling to show me the receipt when I suspected the bag was fake. He sent me this email today and tried to sell me this 30cm violine ostrich birkin at 8500 usd. I personally think it's fake after looking at all the pictures. Not to mention the price sounds too cheap to be reasonable. What do you think?

Two points I wanna declare here:
1. I would like to apologize to the administrators, because I might post this entry in a wrong section. I tried to post in authenticate hermes section, but the system said that I was not able to do so. Thus, sorry to bother you guys to move this post somewhere it is appropriate.

2. I've noticed that some pf members suspected the advertising potential of posting this type of entries. Due to my low posting frequency, it might seem even more suspicious. I believe that most active pf members are very knowledgeable about H. However, I am sure that "stalkers" (like me), especially H beginner will appreciate this type of entry, because they get to learn what is fake H.

Hence, feel free to delete or ignore this entry if it sounds like an ad, but I DO NOT wanna debate on the motive of posting this entry. I have met with some pf members in person, and they know my H collection and integrity. So, I hope that I will not see those insulting statements in this thread.

The following is the original email I received:

Hello, how are you? You were interested back in Nov 2009 of the Hermes Violin Ostrich birkin. Now, I no longer sell my birkins on Ebay I do have my own website. I thought you may be interested in a brand new highly coveted Hermes Violin Purple 30cm Ostrich Birkin with palladium silver hardware. I finally got it in stock. The bag is brand new and has never been used. Plastic, is still on the hardware. Stamped N for 2010 year production. The price is $8500.00usd with shipping included. Please reply to this email if you are interested. Thank you.


EDITED: Please do not post links to sites selling counterfeit bags or e-mail addresses. Thanks!

Yeah... Sorry about that bc I just figured out how to attach pictures... And I need to resize them to under 180kb... It was pretty annoying, because all the pictures this sellers sent me exceed this limit!!:pout:

I have located the seller's eBay ID. They have a whopping 16 for a feedback score with some real oddities in the history. Only a member for two months.

As another said, stay away. No one should respond to these kinds of solicitations. I hope you are in no way connected to the seller.

I am not certain why you are asking about this seller and the authenticity of this bag. Why would you want to deal with anyone if they were unresponsive to your requests in the past and if you suspect them of selling fakes?

The bag leaves me with a fairly creepy feeling.

A further look at the seller's current listings shows another bag that was examined here when it was listed on Bonanzle. It got a resounding thumbs down here.

No good--I do not like ANYTHING from this seller.
