Was so excited when I saw a bronze First on bluefly but I couldn't get it in time!
litljbird said:OMG, not once, not ONCE have I seen anything Balenciaga on sale at Bluefly. I'm so sick of seeing that "we're sorry" page!! :suspiciou
acegirl said:I have found that they add the "really great new stuff" early Wednesday mornings. I get on there about 6:30am EST on Wednesdays & that is when I have caught the Balenciagas, Chanels, etc.. I snagged a Fendi spy too.
wintotty said:Is Bluefly selling auth. bags??
acegirl said:Well, usually yes, but myself & another girl both received fake Bronze B-bags from them recently. Luckily I got my $$ back. I think someone before us did a bait & switch on Bluefly & they didn't catch it. All the other forum members have gotten authentic B-bags it seems.
litljbird said:Ace-- How could you tell it was a fake?? I don't think I would have caught it because I'd just assume that it was real coming from a legit source like Bluefly... :unsure:
acegirl said:Well, Actually SpecialK emailed & told me. I had listed it on Ebay (really just decided against the color..) I had detailed pictures & not knowing much about Balenciaga at the time ( I know ALOT now!) I guaranteed it to be authentic. Like you, I would have NEVER questioned the authenticity from Bluefly. As it turns out, the rivits on the back of the handles had the screwdriver-like dash across the back. That was a dead giveaway- for those who know their B-bags! So anyway, as soon as she emailed me, I pulled the auction off, packed up the bag & back to Bluefly it went!
