No no, the SAs were actually the ones purchasing the fakes. They would swap the authentic bags with the fakes and sell the fake bags to unsuspecting customers in the boutiques. Then, they would sell the authentic bags to resellers and keep all the profits.

WOW that's how I initially interpreted your text, but then I thought that sounded impossible to do! Seems suspicious if they're bringing in bags to work each time!! That is insane!!

This has put me off buying anything second hand! So many could pass for real, and I've done so much research into what to look for and it still seems some might pass that

This is why it is worth using paid authentication services. it's tough to determine ourselves by the naked eye. I don't think I could tell any real v fake apart.

Thank you for your time. If everyone can report like you, we will feel safer buying pre-loved. I am just thinking if these sites cannot control all of their inventory, they should have a rewards system for members who help report fake listings. For example, 1stDibs should have rewarded you a credit of $100 for example for helping them avoid this incidence. Imagine when the bag is sold and buyer sues them for selling a fake bag. How much trouble would it cause? They should have done more than just a thank you letter.

Haha I didn't even think about that; a credit/voucher would definitely have been nice:lol:. However, I do see how that sytem could be abused a little.

Trust me.. if you have seen a super fake in person you will think twice before considering preloved

the thing about this is that you can't even trust the real boutiques. i have had even doubts with bags purchased directly from nordstrom. nordstrom accepts all kinds of returns and they reach a warehouse where they aren't even carefully inspected before being resold so what gives. anyone could return a superfake to nordstrom.

Today someone posted that her fake Celine belt bag was verified as authentic by an online authentication service (can’t share the link, but she showed screenshot proof). Yikes.

I have an authentic belt bag that i purchased directly from NM. It honestly looks so easy to fake! I wouldn't buy one seconhand. plus, it's a bit disheartening to see some trusted sellers have so many belt bags in stock and in so many different colors.

i don't think that makes sense thou. the purchasing transaction should be under Chanel, how that possible that the Chanel system allow those SAs to fake the transaction receipt?

Except they were not faking a receipt— it was a real receipt for a fake bag. Anyway, this actually happened at Hermès, not Chanel (it was several years ago at this point). The Hermès SAs obviously have access to the bags before the customers do, so they would just swap a fake bag for the real bag, and then they would sell the customer the fake bag. After that, they would sell the real bag on the secondary market for an insane markup and pocket all the profit.
