Digital only reseller store receipt

[r luvs h]

That's what I was thinking through. They might close, leaving a hypothetical buyer to evaluate the "receipt" and decide how else to authenticate.

If you pay for this hypothetical transaction with a bank card, credit card, or bank/wire transfer, there will be a record showing at least the transaction amount, the transaction date, and the recipient of the funds. Therefore, even if the reseller were to permanently close their doors, there will still be a bank account linked to them should legal action need to be taken.

We could postulate what-ifs ‘til the cows come home, but really, a receipt will be valuable only for you and your personal records. As with any ancillary item(s) accompanying a secondhand Hermès bag (i.e. CITES, clochette, lock, keys, dust bags, box, tissue paper, rain covers), receipts do not guarantee authenticity. Ancillary items must be authenticated separately. A bag must stand on its own merits. Period.

Thanks for your patience. I mention the reseller receipt because of the unique context that I am in Singapore and some people here get a little more confidence understanding which reseller a bag came from, if not direct from the boutique.

So if you purchased from a reseller would you get the bag authenticated regardless and how exactly is this done? Is there a way of confirming how reputable a local reseller is if not in a circle of collectors, even in low crime Singapore where you are really not likely to get scammed by a store?

And yes, people in Singapore use the local version of Venmo. In my case there is a bank record that shows payment to a corporate bank account opened under the seller's name, and the details of the corporation are publicly available in Singapore (even on Google).

Yes, I would get an independent authentication regardless of the reseller. Some resellers are more reputable than others but an independent third party authentication is the baseline. Resellers, even reputable ones, can make mistakes. The best advice is always to obtain independent verification. Many here use @bababebi
