Thanks guys! Yes, I got a relatively good deal - ~$500ish, from a reputable Ebay seller (Couturestyles). The most important part was getting it authenticated, and the true test, comparing it to my boutique-acquired LVs for hardware and construction quality.
There were a few "transfer" marks on the back, probably from the previous owner holding it against a pair of new unwashed jeans or some newspaper...nothing major, but it brought down the price significantly. I don't mind at all; if anything I'm much less paranoid about putting a mark on it.
