I have not, but wanted to “bump” this question up because I’m wondering the same. While all the past reviews were all glowing, their latest IG story threw me off; they were unboxing and modeling a bunch of the bags with their bare hands and carrying chained bags against fuzzy knit outfits. I’m aware this would happen at a store with customers trying on bags, but the SA’s are not handling them this way, and JRB is not a retail store with a revolving door of customers coming in and out of the place. Several other stories show other bags handled with gloved hands so it may be different people. This isn’t a dealbreaker for me, they are still one of my favorites content-wise, it was just surprising to see.
Edited a bit since posting, seller did list staining, I was asking for more detail to how bad.
I am just hopping on to say that on Vestiaire I had inquired to a seller, TopLuxe from France, about the condition of an Hermes scarf. Listing listed pre-owned good condition. I asked for more detail of the condition. How bad are stains. Where are they. I stated I could not tell how bad the stains are due to the poor picture quality and shadowing from so many wrinkles. I was basically yelled at in writing haha. I was told that never have they ever had so many questions asked of them from a buyer. So don’t buy from them ever. And this is the kicker- the seller told me- even new Hermes scarves from the store have stains on them!!!
. Seller said two times in communication that the scarves at H store have stains. And also told me if I had scarves at home without stains then I was lying to myself. Haha. I thought this would make people laugh 
and also be warned about buying H scarves from them if this was their thoughts on condition of H silk

There is an older 2021-2022 thread with some issues, even before the JRB acct was hacked
Julia Rose Boston - beware a negative experience!
I never write here but just had to share my experience with Julia as well. Last Summer, they sent me a wrong back when I was trying to source a Chanel. I was horrified and asked for a refund. Julia was apologetic. A few months later, I reached out to consign two Chanel bags. They held them for...

I find it irresponsible that Vestiaire requires barely any close-up photos or detailed descriptions for their items. It makes me very skittish to purchase any luxury brand items through their site.Edited a bit since posting, seller did list staining, I was asking for more detail to how bad.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some recent experiences I've had concerning scarf purchases that have left me feeling uneasy. I'd greatly appreciate your insights and thoughts on the matter.
Last week I bought two scarves, one from Sakura_Sakura_1 on eBay. The original listing displayed the scarf with both a care tag and white descriptive sales tag. Before buying, I requested additional photos and consulted with our authenticators to ensure its authenticity Post. However, when I received the scarf, the white tag, which was shown in the listing, was missing. I contacted Sakura_Sakura_1, and they explained that the white tag had been discarded during shipping. This left me perplexed.
The second instance occurred with Maison de Luxe. Last week they had listed three identical cashmere shawls on eBay, each in a different colorway. However, I decided to purchase one of them directly from their website since it was offered at a lower price (and the same three shawls were available online). To my surprise, when the shawl arrived, it was also missing the tag. I contacted Maison de Luxe about this, and they explained that I had bought the item without the white descriptive tag (I should have taken some screen shots, because I swear that I saw it). Furthermore, when I questioned that the shawl was still on eBay (with the tags), they mentioned that they had EDITED the eBay product listing, replacing the photos and pricing with a new, identical one that included the tags (instead of listing a new one).
Both situations seem questionable. It’s odd for tags to be absent when the original listings featured them. Regarding Maison de Luxe, the presence of the same three tagged shawls both on their website and eBay (even after one was purchased) and the editing comment, makes me question their listing consistency.
I wanted to bring this to your attention and see if any of you have encountered similar situations or if you have any insights or advice on how to handle such cases. Your input would be greatly appreciated, as it's essential for us to maintain transparency and integrity in our scarf collecting community.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi! So before I posted my comment above I decided to reacquaint myself with this thread and read a dozen or so pages. I came across a post talking about the “Japanese” eBay sellers. How they all steal each others photos and use them in their own listings. So technically you are not guaranteed to even get the scarf listed. It was also said that the they are basically listing a scarf not even in their possession but is for sale some where that they know of for a cheaper price and using that sellers photos and then when their listing gets bought on eBay they then go buy that “other” one and mail it to ebay buyer. Hope that made sense. The post listed all the questionable sellers claiming to be in Japan. Sakura was on the post. If you look closely a lot of the “Japanese” sellers all use the same photos. And every time I ask for more details or more photos I have never once ever received more photos confirming they don’t actually have the scarves themselves. So too suspicious for me.
And about maison-interesting. The tag should 100% be on it if in the picture. And since an eBay seller isn’t penalized for canceling and relisting an item with any extra fees then I find that strange and icky.
Isn’t her maison listing still showing on her site as sold with pics?

WOW! Thanks for the call-outs, folks! I was hoping for the best, but knew deep down it was too good to be true. Thanks for holding me back from the cliff! I owe you all dinner or at least a rodeo or a Clic H bracelet or something! You're welcome; we've got to look out for each other here!

Thanks for bringing this up, I think I've purchased from a few on the list.
I wish there was a sticky/pinned list for us scarfies to refer to.I think your method is good - ask the seller a question or photos and see if they respond or not.

Oh my word! The Real Real relisted the bag I returned, after a chargeback had to be filed due to major fading, for a few thousand dollars more and still isn't disclosing the issues :/ SMH!! I paid $7700!!!Discuss: Hermes Resale/Ebay Sellers
This is the place to discuss your experiences, both good and bad, with various resellers (online, ebay, or brick and mortar).
Please be respectful even if you have had a negative experience with a seller. We just want this to be an additional reference for buyers researching various sellers in order to make a well informed, educated decision on where to purchase Hermes bags.
Thank you.

Does anybody have any experience/opinion of buying from Flass Vintage in Hing Kong. They have an Hermes consignment bag I want for sale at a good price though it still Hermes and costly and I have not dealt with them before. Any input/feedback you have on working with them would be appreciated. Item comes with receipt, everything else but always a worry about buying a fake especially since I can’t see the bag in person before purchasing. They have an active IG account and many well known people follow them but you can never h be too cautious and I wanted to reach out to the community to ask if anyone had any input
