I think I have finally found my HG!!! It's is the 2.55 reissue, size 225, black, GHW, made in FR, and would come with receipt (purchased at Rue Cambon!), box, dustbag, authenticity card. It has only been used about 10 times/excellent condition and she's asking a fair price considering the condition and full set.
BUT I'd have to pay for it via paypal friends and family which offers no real protection. The person selling it I found on instagram and lives in the Netherlands. Her account looks real. She's a luxury bag collector and selling a few in her collection now as she has a second child on the way. I've been communicating with her back and forth and she says when she sells bags she always uses paypal friends and family (instead of invoicing it as a good or service) otherwise the fees paypal takes are too much for her.
On one hand, I know if I take this route, she could just not send it or say she did and if it gets lost or whatever I have no recourse and am out of 6K
On the other, I think she's legit? Or is an awesome good scammer.
HELP! Thoughts? Anyone bought from someone you found on IG?

- For example, the picture of the receipt she sent me (December X 2016) matches up with her instagram posts at the time showing her in Paris and purchasing it.
- She has about 3K followers, and they all seem to be friends or other bag lovers.
- She sent me her name and address and bank details.
- Sent me screenshots of other convos of people she's sold to on IG and said she's happy can reach out to them if I'd like to talk to them. I checked out their IGs/websites and they seem legit as well.
