Please don't tell me you're actually believe this story. Many of you have bought bags from Elux and know how Elux ship their items...there are quite a bit of statements above supporting this...you'd make a fool of yourself calling Elux and blaming them for the damage of your bag that got ripped while you were slashing through the box b/c this is just not possible.
Gang - this wasn't a real LV - and this person is also a shill bidder with someone called Allstar Team. If you read the e-bay thread - it's all come out. This person was a complete nut.
