Does anyone know where I can find an authentic Cartier Love bracelet 2nd hand. I am looking for WG 4 diamonds and don't mind a scratch here or there. Has anyone bought an authentic one of ebay?

I just got a fake Tiffany's elsa peretti heart on ebay and am FURIOUS, going through paypal claims over it right now, huge drama. 
Honestly it's not worth the savings... I'm sure those are copied a lot too.
Then again, I am 100% honest on ebay and have sold a few pieces of jewelry... LOL... I've been cheated 2x though so I'm wary of buying now.

I would be hesitant to buy on eBay unless you really know what it's supposed to look like since I have seen a ton of fakes there. I once bought a Tiffany piece on eBay and it had authentic pics and the seller sent me a fake - pain to get your money back. I do sell and personally I've always sold authentic pieces, but it's hard to find!
I agree that it's not worth the savings to me unless it's a discontinued item. But if you really want one used, you could try higher end local stores that do resale or online places like Signed Pieces or Ann's Fabulous Finds. I've seen them sell the Love bracelet before.

^^ thanks ladies. Sorry that you both had to deal with untrustworthy sellers. This confirms my suspicion about buying on ebay. I know it is possible to fine authentic pieces but I am not an experienced ebay user and would hate to deal with the hassle of getting my money back if I end up with a fake.
thanks for the website suggestions tweetie!

i bought my cartier love bracelet on ebay and it's totally authentic! but, i did my research before we were ready to buy, so by the time i started looking on ebay, i knew what to look for.
not only that, i made certain that the seller offered a certificate of authenticity as well as a money back guarantee, especially considering it was $2,500.
he recently had it polished from cartier so i also had that to certify its authenticity as well as a brand new shiny bangle! it was only a year old at the time, and it looked brand new.
additionally, i made sure that the seller had perfect feedback, which he did. this valentine's day will be 2 years that i have had it and i have since brought it to cartier for authentication.
so, you can get authentic cartier items on ebay, but just know what you're looking for and what to look for (i.e. cartier stamp, serial code, etc. on the inside).
good luck!
oh, and the savings was over $1,000—so for us, it was worth it and i got a beautiful authentic bangle out of it!
