Yes, I’ve purchased from Elma @guruedit twice for authentic Chanel. The first time I posted about it on an older authenticate thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/closed-authenticate-this-chanel.937412/post-34194491
Second time she sourced a medium, caviar, dark beige CF with 24K ghw from Boutique Patina: https://boutiquepatina.com/collecti...-beige-caviar-medium-classic-flap-bag-24k-ghw
which I later had Gerry at Leather Surgeons authenticate.
Hi, so Elma @guruedit was good? I meant your bags were authentic correct? Is she a trust worthy seller? Asking because I am in the middle of purchasing a Chanel from her, its currently under Zeko authentication. Thank you for your time!

I bought my Chanel from her and got it authenticated by Zeko. Elma was incredibly communicative and my classic double flap is in excellent condition.

I am also in the process of purchasing a Chanel from her - was your experience positive?
**Update** I purchased a vintage Chanel Classic from Elma (GuruEdit) and had a very positive experience. For peace of mind, I did have it authenticated by both RealAuthentication and Zeko’s - both confirming authenticity.
 
Hi,

Do you authenticate your Chanel bags when bought through a reseller?

I have just received mine and have no reason to doubt it's authenticity (having had a few Chanel bags) but wonder if it's required as a rule of thumb? Especially since the existence of super fakes.

I have also received the original receipt and tag (with the reseller's and advisor's info blackened out of course) and can see my bag chip's serial number mentioned on the receipt as 'Reference #' giving me further assurance. But can this too be faked? Curious.
 
Sharing my experience buying from a personal shopper orchemellia. Her fee is fairly low and yhe transaction itself was smooth and quick. Unfortunately, I received the item yesterday and noticed a defect today. After asking her for my options, it seems like I have to bring it to a boutique myself to see if it can be repaired.

I wanted to share my experience since we are buying items blind!
