I have a bag I'm going to be selling and there is sort of some strange circumstances surrounding it and I need some advice.
Basically the bag was celebrity owned but I'm not sure I can prove that. A friend worked for the celebrity and she received the bag as a gift. The celebrity received it in a swag from a major awards show.
However, there's really no way to prove it (there's no note that went with it). The celebrity didn't carry the bag so there are no photos with her with the bag (although that wouldn't really prove it was owned by the celebrity anyway).
So, I have two questions:
1. Should it even be mentioned on the auction?
2. Should it be mentioned if a potential buyer asks where the bag came from?
Also, one last tidbit as it may make a difference: the celebrity passed away. Does that make it tacky to mention it at all? I am leaning towards not mentioning it, but thought I should get more opinions.
Thanks in for any advice.
