I’ve been scouring all the usual reputable pre-loved sites (AFF/Fashionphile/Rebag etc ) for the past month on a daily basis as it’s the time of year when I gift myself a bag.
I’ve become really disheartened because of the insane prices even on the less popular styles I like!
I refuse to pay full retail for a 5 year old bag with issues that I could buy in store.
off topic but ugh. Its just greed now.
I'm with you. It’s just that the market is so hot right now with people moving from Chanel and YT unboxing. Not to mention that everyone wants everything for their 'collections'. Of course people can do whatever with their money but I do not understand those who get so many BKC and want more and more and more. I think this will just get worse. Sadly.
Is fashionphile a reputable reseller for vintage Hermes? Would you recommend getting an additional authenticator to confirm that the bag you purchase is real? Thanks!
I looked at the guepards scarf and wondered if they were nuts. They are probably testing the market using a big cat scarf to see if they can sell other HS than those by Kermit Oliver (for example) at an outrageous price. A collector who is desperate may go for it.I’ve actually emailed them when they put up a fake scarf but they just reply about their amazing authentication process. How hard is it for their awesome experts to google a design and research if it was ever produced in the “questionable” format.
I’m shaking my head right now at the price on this……..
$3100
Their business model is based on flipping. If they slam a really high price on HS, especially 90cm, they're modeling themselves after 1st Dibs. Certainly 1st Dibs is the gold standard of selling high-priced collectibles, IMO. A really high price is inconsistent with flipping's notion of fast turnover, in and out of the market quickly. So TRR's going to have to discover the sweet spot which provides an above-average price in a relatively short period of time. (Good luck with that).
This one is authentic. The reason for the price is because the edge is mink fur. It's hard to see in their pictures.

I've bought from Xupes recently (Jypsiere) and from Labelsmostwanted - both online in the UK, both brilliant service and exactly as described.
Thank you for this information Hscarfcollector!

Was it ever determined that ALL of the seller's items are not authentic? I believe I've purchased a scarf from her in the past. I'm going to search for which one.....it's been a while.Not sure if this is the right thread to post this: eBay seller natalibabaia_0 is selling fakes.

Update: I've found that I have purchased a CSGM and a 90cm Silk from her in the past. The 90 was a grail, a hard to find item that was over retail so now I am nervous. I also just read the last page here and see that the seller mixes authentic with fake.....and that @Nomad received authentic items so I feel a little better. I do need to have my 90 checked out and have other colorways of the same design to compare. Stayed Tuned!

I got scammed for my first time ever- I'm heartbroken! Stay clear at all costs, I got too excited and was easily swayed .
I have inquired about a few bags in the past, asking about price, condition, more pictures, etc. I ended up not buying any of them. After a couple times, I inquired again and she started being non responsive. I would follow up and then she wouldn’t respond at all. She doesn’t want to waste time on buyers who are not “serious” in buying.
