Authentication stories??

[LiveAndLuxessorize]

Hello TPF’ers!

Last week I decided to get something authenticated for the first time, and the object in question was a really old Prada bag that I bought totally uncritical from the pre-loved marked for a really cheap price many years ago (long time before I started collecting real designer pieces). I was quite sure it would come off as unauthentic because of the low price I paid, and the lack of papers etc. But to my huge surprise, Authenticate4U today confirmed that it actually is authentic!!
I’m stoked about the great deal I obviously made several years ago, and by the fact that my designer collection «suddenly» got a new member today! I’m leaving a couple of pictures of my «newly revealed treasure» (don’t mind my veeery casual outfit), and would like to know if anyone else in here has gotten surprised by authenticators??
Please share your stories, I’d love to hear them!

What a wonderful story!

Love your bag!

Recently, I purchased three Louis Vuitton bandouliere keepalls size 50s and two 60s from the flea market for $200.00. I have been thrifting for a while, and I believe I pretty good at authenticating items. I bought the bags and was told by a woman on Poshmark Thrifting on Fb my bags were fakes. I mean she was so nasty, rude and vile to me. I had my bags authenticated by Designer Divas on Facebook and when I told the woman she blocked me from her page out of embarrassment. I knew my bags were real because this lady got so upset when I bought them that day.

Another time I sold a Gucci bucket bag and the customer said it was fake upon receipt. I posted the bag on discussion board and the majority of people were saying fake. The next day I had it authenticated by caroldiva. Somebody then contacted another member who specialized in gucci vtg and she agreed with Carol that the bag was genuine. A year later this woman on the board starts arguing with me and says how I sold a fake bag and nobody should buy anything from me. The woman who agreed with Carol told the pid to go eff herself.❤

There was a time i sold a Chanel and this woman did a chargeback before waiting for someone to authenticate it.

I showed her the authentication from caroldiva.

I showed her the exact same bag.

I had to pay Carol $30 to get a letter before the b went away.

Haha wow! I really don’t get why some people are putting up such a rude and awful attitude, they must be quite stupid to believe that will help them achieve anything good But it’s great that all of the cases you mentioned seem to have ended in your favor after all!
