Seconded!!Please share in the “finds” thread! Thanks!!!
My pleasure, happy to help.
To get a better idea of how bad the situation had gotten, I just popped into fleabay, and by the end of page 5, this is the list of fraudsters I casually pulled out (without even really trying).
A quick glance at their listings should suffice, eyesore much...?

My suggestion (as with all auction house sales where a physical preview is not available) would be to ask for a specialist and either see the bag in person or have them video it closely for you.Just found a twin to my treasured Lizard Micro on Sothebys Marketplace:
Does anyone here have experience buying from here?
@QuelleFromage your post on my other thread plus this specific note really helped me this morning so big thanks!My suggestion (as with all auction house sales where a physical preview is not available) would be to ask for a specialist and either see the bag in person or have them video it closely for you.
Ofc Sothebys is respectable, but they do make mistakes on color and leather, and condition is very much a matter of opinion.
I haven’t bought from them, but the shop’s IG posts and also the family’s put me off. The posts are so staged. I would check out other stores if I were you.Hey everyone,
I am wondering if I am not using the search function correctly. I was looking for postings in regards to "Love Luxury" in London. No results though. Does anyone have experience with them?
