Okay, so I have been contemplating purchasing a LV Speedy. In the past month I've purchased a Chloe Edith and Paddington so I've spent a lot and thought that my next purchase should be something smaller...like a Speedy 25! My question is...is it worth it to go on ebay and potentially get a bag for 50% off or should I just buy it from Elux?

How rampant are fakes on Ebay of Speedy's and if I decided to go the Ebay route would you ladies be able to help me find a real one? :shame:

Thank you everyone!

It really depends on if you want a brand new bag, or something cheaper that's used. Regardless of the overload of fakes on eBay, there are still many authentic bags. It's really about preference.

I think it just depends if you are looking for a brand new bag or not. I highly suggest buying from a MPRS, which you can find on mypoupette.com. You could also purchase a nice used bag from poupetteluxe.com.

Go for Elux if you want a brand new bag at regular prices, you get what you pay for guaranteed w/ reciept. Ebay is good for finding seasonal stuff or rare items, not always brand new and no guarantee.

Mom always says, "you get what you pay for." For authenticity and a peace of mind, pay the full retail price for the LV speedy at eluxury.com. 'Nuff said.

I love ebay and have had lots of success there. I have bought epi, damier, and monogram mat items in excellent shape, really like new, and saved a ton! this forum will really help you feel comfortable about being certain that the item you are bidding on is authentic. Also mypoupette is wonderful, as others have mentioned. I have also purchased one new damier item from an LV boutique, but that's just too expensive a route for me to go too often!

I love eluxury! I have bought a lot from them, and returned half of it. *LOL* You have 60 days to change your mind and it is super-easy to send stuff back to them. And I LOVE their LiveChat customer service. That way I can take care of questions/returns without talking on the phone and nosey people hearing me.

There is something so special about a brand-new LV, and then later on when the patina is all your own. Just my 2 cents.

I like ebay - I love to save some money, and I hate the way the new vachetta looks. I'd personally rather buy a gently used bag that already has patina. And I can often buy 2 for what a new one would cost. It just depends on your preference.

I think for a Speedy -- since there are so many out there -- you can probably find a nice one on eBay fairly quickly. But I would go with an MPRS. (That's how I got my 25 a few months ago. I did not save a lot, but I got one made in France, with just the very lightest patina and am totally happy).

eluxury!! i love ebay but unless it's discontinued, i will always buy brand new. too many stinky LV's on ebay. it's been done to me and i see a post about it every other day. i don't think it's worth the risk.
