I think she underrates her stuff because I think she had them both described as B.

I've never seen anything listed by eLady that was other than B, actually. Surprises me because even in the photos some of them look better than that rating.

Just wanted to post an update. My bag that reached US customs on 1/8/15 is still showing inbound to customs. I have contacted Elady and they have opened an inquiry with EMS. I've called customs, usps and my local post office. Customs checked their detained list and list for duty due and it wasn't there. Ive accepted that it's probably lost for good. I've opened a INR on paypal but I'm super bummed because I wanted the bag not my money back. Elady has been super responsive throughout the process and I would order from them in the future but I'm a little gun shy right now....

That is hugely disappointing. So sorry this has happened. I'd be terribly bummed if this happened to me. I once gave up on what appeared to be a completely lost cause, though, and all of a sudden one day about three weeks later there the package was at my post office. So, you never know. At least you are getting decent help from the seller. Times like this, that's the best you can hope for.

I also have a vintage noe in noir epi leather. Also in great condition except for the brass hardware. How was yours? Wondering what I can do to brighten up the hardware and get rid of some of the tarnish.

I am thinking about the same thing. I've grown to absolutely love my vintage Epi Noe from Elady, although I was a bit disappointed at first but the bag looked just like new in the pics. But yes, the hardware is a bit tarnished. I saw someone talking about some product but can't remember what it was...Any tips? Anyone? How have you cared for your epi noes btw? I know this should go to another thread but if you don't mind me asking :)

I've seen a A rating few times. And bought a BC. I have a faint memory of an exl or something like that rating for a new, never used piece. So there are more than just B's ;)

Here's an update as of 1/28/15. Received a letter from USPS asking for my permission to allow EMS to do a search for the bag. I signed and faxed the letter. My case in paypal is open. The bag still shows inbound to customs since 1/8/15. I'm sure it's a lost cause at this point and I'm just going through the process so that paypal will refund my money. I'm so bummed, I was really excited to get that bag at such a fantastic price...

Boooooo! I have had 4 items sent with no issue but I suppose this is bound to happen. I wonder if someone swiped it.

That's terrible about your purchase. Hopefully Paypal returns the money quickly. It sounds like elady was cooperative and did what they could to help. But shame on the customs people!

I had a positive experience with elady. I ordered a bag charm. It arrived in the condition describe and was packed with care. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

I don't do anything special other than storing it in a dustbag when not in use.

I read about Brasso on another thread. Blue Magic was also mentioned.

I just purchased a Empreinte Artsy MM from Elady (well Elady01, her Ebay site) I am going off her glowing reviews but will definitely get it authenticated once received since I have 14 days. I'll keep you posted on any issues and/or feedback!

I have three things I want from eLady. His prices are really good! Most things are marked a B - but when I look at the pictures, they look way better than a B. I haven't taken the plunge yet, but all the things I want have been discontinued anyways, so its not like I have the choice to get them new. But they have a lot of stuff with beautiful even tan patina.

Do you guys find that the pictures are accurate depictions of the product? Because sometimes the description will say there is a stain, but I look at the pictures and I don't see anything!

I have purchased a bag charm, a mono Delightful PM, and a mono coin purse from eLady, and all 3 have been better than I expected! I think the pictures also highlight things that in person are insignificant or barely noticeable, which is great. :-)

I've bought three things as well and they all were beyter than described. But I live in euro currency country and the difference between euro and dollar is so small that I am not buying anything right now. There is few things I like but I'll have to wait. Few weeks bacl it was sooo much cheaper for me.
