Hi, Thank you ladies! But I'm still a little shaky..lol.....
First..Telicious..unfortunately the link I provided was a link I bid on, the one that the poster of this thread had posted, that is why it got my attention because it's the one I "wanted to win"...I decided in my "infinate" wisdom..uh ohh..lol..to just go ahead and bid on a BUY IT NOW for 200.00 eek..from a seller who looked legit, had another Balenciaga purse, older as well, and that's it. I figured ok, she has older bags. BUT the auction I bid on had just one pic from the front. it looked like the one from the auction I posted. It actually had the tags in one of the pockets..it was a black tag..but not MbMJ..it was just marc jacobs...says on the back with a ski style M361077 color 30257 Bronze ( which it's pretty much gold ) and the sku and suggeseted retail 428.00...no Neiman Marcus tags, but I was told it was purchased there. It's an older bag/2002
TadpoleNYC..thank you soooooooo much for checking your MJ bag..that makes me feel comforted..but are your ZIPPERS backside blank..and like have a sorta line down the center, instead of the riri or lampo? Mine ARE!!! Melly says that it's YKK , but I don't see any YKK on mine...
Melly, thank you so much for your expertise, I appreciate it greatly,but now I have a new query, shouldn't it say YKK if it's ykk?....You said: That bag is a MbMJ bag (from the cheaper line) which uses YKK...
and I have the tag inside and it says MARC JACOBS..not MbMJ...and it's a BLACK TAG..not a white one.. ...I"M NEW AT ALL THIS MJ STUFF..so I'm not sure what color tag is what..so hopefully you can educate me and settle my nerves..and give me some much needed info on this gold purse situation! Thanks so much! P.S. My purse looks exactly like the one listed in the auction thread this post was regarding prior...I just want to make sure, the zipper thing was irking me because everywhere I looked I saw.."Check the zipper"..lol..Thanks you're the best!
