I'm selling a bag on ebay (actually, I got 3 at a sample sale and kept one and listed two.) I got an email last night from a potential bidder asking me how many I had and where I got them (the second part I could see as relevant to authenticity if there was some concern I had unwittingly bought fakes, but I kind of felt like how many I had was my business - and certainly might be a business decision on my part to keep it to myself if I had another, so people didn't just say, oh, I'll bid on the next one). Anyway, part of her email seemed a little bit weird to me - "I own many designer purses and will know a fake bag from an authentic one."
Would anyone else take that as being a little bit standoffish? Like, hey, don't try to get by with a fake because I'll catch you, when there's no reason she has to believe the bag isn't authentic? It kind of makes me wonder, too, if the bidder is that pushy already if I should hope they don't bid because it could be an indication of someone who's going to be a real pain later on.
Am I being oversensitive here? Or would you all take it the same way?
