Wow. Who was the seller? Do you remember?
I think we can all learn a lot from that experience.
The other day I received a mail from a replica maker (for some reason they have my email address - don't ask me how, but I read their mails to 'educate' myself) and they had a green croc Birkin that had me totally fooled. There was just one very small detail that would possibly give away the fake but if I hadn't known that it was from a faker, I would have been fooled (there were no detail shots in that mail).
