Authentication input requested, at eBay please, on this HL dress:

item number: 200834831933
seller: new_chic_boutique
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200834831933...84.m1438.l2649

The seller has many dresses that are no longer available in stores. I am so apprehensive to buy designer items that I'm not familiar with (from sellers I don't know) on ebay these days... While it looks good from the photos, according to what I have learned so far, it's just that this style being available (and NWT) seems too good to be true.
Thanks!

Some sellers are selling previous seasons stock that they've bought up, so not being a current model wouldn't necessarily means its not authentic:smile1:
 
Have been searching for a particular Moncler Gamme Bleu coat for a while. No luck on the retail front yet, but found and a used one, and was hoping to get some input on the likelihood of it being genuine from the following photos:

The price was $500 (he originally wanted $600), which would seem possible for a used jacket that retails for $1400+. I have seen a Chinese knockoff version, and the discrepancies between it and the photos of this are many. My only concerns are things like the Moncler logo in the arm patch looking crooked and off-center (but perhaps that can happen on the genuines?), the labels inside look alright, but I haven't worn a Moncler in many years, so I don't know what to look for. The buttons are not all straight in the photos, not sure if they are able to spin on the genuine or not.

I am waiting on the seller to let me know the Certilogo code before he ships it out. But was also curious if there is any way to fake the Certilogo? For example, wouldn't all counterfeits have the same Certilogo code of the genuine jacket they were knocked off from? If a counterfeiter has printed the Certilogo code of a genuine item on all their knockoffs, why wouldn't searching the code on the knockoff show it as genuine?
 
Hello

Can anyone please help authenticate this scarf?

I bought it on ebay about 5 years ago. I have other Chanel scarfs which I know are all authentic. This one doesn't have handrolled edges which has made me question it's authenticity. I have read that in recent years Chanel have been doing more scarf's without handrolled edges so I do believe it to be genuine but just wanted to check with the experts.
The quality of the scarf is the same as the others I have and I paid a good price for it. It came in Chanel bag, plastic pouch and wrapping paper as pictured.

It is sheer silk.

Very greatful for anyone that can help.

Hiya, made a recent purchase from eBay for a vintage Ralph Lauren down jacket. Didn't get to ask questions because I was bidding in a hurry. Wasn't too concerned about the brand at the time of bidding, but now that I've won it, I'm curious as to whether it is genuine Ralph Lauren or not!

Am slightly surprised that the label reads 'Made in Singapore' - when surfing the net I did find a similar looking label from the 1980s which had a tag reading 'Made in Hong Kong', so I'm not sure whether it is legit! Never heard of Singapore, with its boiling hot equatorial weather, producing Ralph Lauren goods, much less to say down jackets!

Posted close ups of the zips and the press buttons in case Ralph Lauren use a certain type. Looking to hear from you all! Thanks in advance (:

Ask the seller to send You picture of Certilogo number tag. I am pretty good with authenticating moncler. Plus its hard for counterfeiters to come up with legit number. Because if many people verify the same # it would show fake. Plus Certilogo will ask where it was purchased before giving You a answer. Ask seller where he/she bought it. When I sold Moncler on Ebay I got a message from Moncler to remove picture that showed FULL Certilogo number. For the exact reason You posted. So I just switched it to picture of partial

Yeah, the seller never responded to my request for the Certilogo number, and yesterday he refunded my payment. My initial feeling was that it was real, and I truly wanted it to be, but a lot of other red flags were raised indicating it might have been a fake. It is academic at this point because I won't be receiving that particular jacket.

The search continues to find an authentic one for purchase... I'll make a post in the "Where to Buy Moncler" thread, please keep your eyes open.
 
Hi,

I brought a Fendi 365 quite awhile back but is questioning whether it is an authentic Fendi, since I have never heard of "365" before. Please help
