I'm a bit clueless and hoping you guys can help. I know NOTHING about purses. I get mine at Target or Sears and rarely pay more than $20. (Some of you may need to be resuscitated now. LOL!) But my best friend is a shopaholic and has a distinct affinity for purses. And shoes, but that's probably for another forum. I want to do something really special for her for Christmas, so I started looking at some eBay items. She has said before that you have to be very careful about buying bags because there are so many knockoffs. I definitely don't want to get scammed. I have heard her mention the brand Fendi before (never heard of it before I met her, actually), but I don't think she actually owns a Fendi purse. I found this item on eBay:

Because of the higher price, I thought it was more likely to be the real deal. Some of the ones claim to be "new" but aren't in the price range she seemed to imply an "authentic Fendi" would be. I can't afford a new one for her (I guess I'm still a Target shopper at heart), but I think it would be fun to get her a true high-end bag. I don't think she would mind that it's been used. It still has the label, right? Can you purse lovers please tell me if this is worth pursuing? (pardon the pun) It's a lot of money, so I don't want to make a foolish purchase. She'd never let me live it down. Thanks for any input.
