Wow @serialshopper. That's pretty rude!

Not only are you getting a free service but you're being snotty to the authenticator!

I would think that if you're spending $4500 on a bag, you want the authenticator to have all the pictures needed to make an accurate assessment.

If you don't like that @ironic568 wants to do her due diligence before risking you wasting your money, you certainly are welcome to use a paid authentication service.

Keep in mind that any good professional service will also require the additional pictures you seem to averse to posting.

Thank you BB. Normally I always ignore these kind of posts as I don't like drama, especially not in an authentication thread. I have to say though that it left me wondering and scratching my head why a simple request for detailed pictures (as outlined in post 2 and at the top of every page!) of required authenticity markers on a highly faked bag would evoke a chuckle and such ill-mannered behavior from a person. Especially if that person herself doesn't seem to have a clue, asked for the authentication, didn't follow the required format, didn't provide all the required pictures, and, judging from the available pictures so far, was leaning in the wrong direction regarding the authenticity of the bag.

Hi Ironic,
Stumbled across this thread and I think what you are doing is so, so great. Not sure how you became an expert but you are like the ultimate detective!
Bought my first Chanel and am having a panic attack after reading Chanel actually sued therealreal, which is where I got it. It is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Do you authenticate bags purchased from therealreal? Thank you so much, ironic!

Yes, when you receive the bag, post back in the correct format, include the link and all required pictures. See this post for more info.

Hi,
I just bought a bag on ebay. Can you ladies please take a look at this and give me some inputs?
- Item name: Chanel Classic Double Flap Caviar Medium Black
- Serial number: 29486625
- Listing number: 254502968990
- Seller: Glamshock
- Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BNIB-AUTH-...e76-43f2-8c27-720e5b60c81f#vi__app-cvip-panel
- Comments: I originally was very confident with this purchase because the seller has 100% positive reviews from over 600 buyers. This purchase was also promised with certificates from Real Authentication and Entrupy for bullet proof. However, when I received the purse, the seller did not provide me with those two promised certificates. There are so many super fake purses out there so I just want to make sure this is not a scam.

Even when I don't see any red flags, I would recommend physical inspection for the newest series classic flaps.

[ironic568]

I’ll try to take one the best I can. Does everything else look authentic so far?

Yes

 

[ironic568]

and can you believe someone sent me this!

I am not familiar with this authentication service and I don't know if the certificate has been tampered with, but the bag is beyond any shadow of a doubt fake.

 

[ironic568]

Hi, I hope this pic is better. Pls see attached. Thanks again!

Authentic

 

[ironic568]

Thank you so much for your quick response. I will have to return it. Is it a good or bad fake and what was off about it if you don’t mind answering?

Bad fake. Practically everything is off with that bag.

Thanks so much for your help!

 

[Kailua]

Authentic. For future reference, see this post for the correct way to take a login shot.

@ironic568 thank you so much! Yes will take a proper login shot next time. Thanks for letting me know!!

I see, just wanted to make sure in case you uploaded the wrong pic.
It would be better if I could inspect it physically, but I'm not seeing anything wrong with the bag based on the pictures. As for the smell, I have had that on one of my Chanel bags, though the smell did subside after a while.
If you are concerned, have it sent in for physical inspection.

Thank you so much! I'll air the bag and see if the smell will be able to subside
