At the beginning of July I sold a newer MJ bag in order to fund something from MJ's fall collection. My buyer has now resold the bag and is now claiming that HER buyer says its fake. As you can all guess there is no way in H*LL that that bag I sold was fake. Is there ANY way to protect myself????
Here is the conversation so far:
My buyer:
Hi there I recently sold the Marc Jacobs handbag to one of the buyer and she stated the handbag is a knock off. So I was wondering if you have the receipt of the handbag? Is the handbag really authentic, cause I realized the handbag is not my style and really want to sell it. Is it possible if I can use your pictures that you post it at ebay and descriptions?
My response:
First of all, I am sorry to hear that you didn't find the bag to be suitable for you. I'm still a little sad about having to let it go. If I had the extra $$ I would even consider buying it back but I just bought a new Marc Jacobs from the fall collection. Anyway, I'm sorry to get off topic: that Cecilia is 100% authentic and I'm really shocked that anyone thinks its not. Did she say why she thought that? Is it the strap issue because I know a lot of people don't realize that the Cecilia's from Resort '07(which was the first season they were available) had the fabric straps. Anyway, I don't have the receipt anymore but receipts don't really prove anything anyway(they are often faked).
I would tell your buyer to go onto http://forum.purseblog.com/ and ask for help authenticating in the Marc Jacobs forum. I'm an active member(my user name is the same as my ebay user name) and I trust the ladies who do the authenticating implicitly. They really, really know their stuff. Plus its free because its a bunch of Marc Jacobs lovers who just want to help each other out. If you search for the auction that you won you will see that it was posted in the authentic "Ebay Deals" thread by trusted members.Link:http://forum.purseblog.com/marc-jacobs/marc-jacobs-ebay-deals-finds-199892-520.html#post6955286
Scroll down to the middle of the page and you will see that a trusted member(NOT ME!) has posted pics and a link to that auction you won. take note that members take this VERY seriously.
I really don't know what else to tell you. There is no way I would buy or sell a fake. I would recommend that you take your own pics of the bag its always better that way. Let me know if I can help in any other way.
