If it sounds too good, it is too good. I feel so bad for those that lost money from these companies. It IS possible to get an authentic from ebay...but be careful! I purchased an LV Speedy 35 (brand new, buyer changed mind, wanted smaller Speedy) about 6 months ago. I read all the info on the ebay site about how to avoid buying a fake LV. I felt pretty safe when I bought the bag, asked lots of questions, posting had LV papers, receipt from eLUXURY.com, pic of date code, etc. Seller communicated well. I was still VERY NERVOUS! I did get a great deal...paid $300 less. When I received it I immediately left for my LV store in Nashville. They confirmed it was authentic. So relieved! I decided I wanted the LV Neverfull GM...but went to the LV store and bought it! BTW, if you live in Tennessee or California, you pay sales tax when you buy at eLUXURY.com. TN sales tax is 9.25%! Since I have an LV store close, it's the same to buy it there. I feel VERY LUCKY to have gotten an authentic Speedy through ebay...wouldn't try it again though. At LV store they said 95% LV's on ebay are fakes! Good luck getting your money back. And, be careful...lots of crooks out there!
