Opinions on this pre-loved medium classic flap?

Cam across this iridescent gray lambskin m/l flap. I like that it’s dark enough to pass for black at times, but I’m not sure of the lambskin condition. Also, it doesn’t come with anything, but to be fair the consignment store is reputable and has a money back guarantee on authenticity. Priced at $7,875 CAD ($5,900 USD). Is this even a good deal? Are microchipped bags easy to authenticate? Any opinion is appreciated. Thank you 🙏

I love grey, and I prefer lamb! It’s a fair price imo if it’s in great condition.
I think most people use Zeko for authenticating.

It says 9.5/10 (minor flaws), which is supposed to be in great condition. Do you mind taking a closer look at the photos attached? I’m not too familiar with lambskin flaps, but isn’t it supposed to be puffy and smooth? Seems a bit flat to me. Wondering if this is indeed in great condition.

Every skin is different, some quilts are puffy some and less puffy; some have lots of sheen, others can be more dull. It’s totally personal preference!
I won’t buy online, I’d need to see in person personally.

Thank you, you’ve been very helpful! I decided to pass on the bag since I also want to see it in person.

I only buy lambskin because I so like that puffy look and feel notwithstanding the fact that it is very 'needy' and takes a lot of caring for. Given that, I would only buy if I can touch and feel it.
