HI:

Great looking bag MMM! Looks like it was well taken care of.....in my own travels yesterday, I didn''t find another bag I liked, but did see a sweet Fall/Winter Prada coat that is drilling a hole in my brain

Wow, at $165 its a steal! Great purchase, MMM!
 
How do you guys find this great stuff on e-bay?

It seems all my efforts turn up fakes claiming to be the real thing. How the heck do you know? MMM, you must have put a lot of time into finding that sweet buy! Congrats. it''s a super bag.

My new Saks catalog has several pages of large designer bags, really nice ones, but the prices are more than I''ll spend on a bag.
 
Congrats on the new bag moremoremore!!

Thanks guys!

Ann- almost all bags I see on ebay have got to be fake. I look around to buy from non power sellers and I asked lots of questions. In this case, it''s an older bag and the lady was also selling some other older designer bags. She said to feel free to get it checked out...she took pix with her son, etc...we had great communication. It was like that with my marc jacobs bag- I liked that lady so much that I visit her site frequently. She is very up front and as we speak is awaiting a new shipment from italy. My bag checked out and I contacted people who also purchased from her. You have to be VERY careful.
 
MMM, when you get a bag checked out, do you take it into a store? How do you go about doing that? There was this ADORABLE MJ I saw on ebay, and while I still had no money for it right now, I know it is going to haunt me! The seller said in the listing that they wouldnt answer questions about authenticity though, so I got a little discouraged. Its easy to tell a fake coach, usually, there are a lot of horrible fake LVs and pradas, guccis you can tell sometimes by the dots between the Gs or the Gs themselves (for fun my friend & i bought a fake one in Italy and mine said CUGGI on the inside

) People used to say to check for serial numbers, but even today when serial numbers are being added to fakes, how do you know? What kind of questions do you ask?

Hi guys! This thread is great...we need MORE bag candy!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I tried on the large horsebit hobo and it was BIG but nice. I just hate those pointy edges. I should have taken the stuiffing out of it. I think I''ll wait for new models to come out...

In the interim, I won this bag on ebay! I''m 10000000% sure it''s real...the lady is really nice and selling some older style bags like the one I just wone. This might be too big but for the price I got it as, I can use it only for travel or work and still get more than my $''s worth!!!!!!!

Thank you, God...she finally has a bag!

blue- i'll pm ya tonight
 
I have discovered Fendi and really love 2 of their bags. But retail on one is around $800. and I think that "it" bag (Spy ?) is over $1,000.

Now, with a bag retailing at those prices, how could they be sold for 589.00!!!!! So, I am assuming all the ones I am seeing on e-bay are fakes. Probably good ones though.

So if anyone ever finds a honest discounter on e-bay. let us know. Well, now that I just typed that, I''m thinking, heck why would they give out their source!!! Oh well, maybe I''ll pay retail after all.
 
That's a yummy Prada bag Nutty! I didn't see that one when I was on my handbag hunt in Vegas. MMM don't forget to post photos when your new bag arrives!!! I have never been brave enough to buy ANYTHING off ebay although I know there some good deals to be had.

Great bags Angel, thanks for sharing! I love your Louis Vuitton bags!!! Which tote is that? I have the Cabas Piano, but yours looks bigger.
 
Thanks guys! I have a purse obsession. I believe mine is the Cabos Mezzo. It''s quite large but not the largest one!
Here''s some more from my coach collection!

I think it''s from the 80s LOL....I''m excited though. May use it as a carry on if it''s really big. The seller was so nice. She has several bags cleaning out her closet...not one of those power sellers so I''m excited. I paid 165 for it and I''m SO sure it''s real! Nice!

Thanks for all your help everyone :)

Excellent bag MMM! If you get a good seller Ebay can be a treat(vs. a trick). I bought an authentic YSL Flower bag on ebay a few months ago. I''d planned to get one when they first came out but just never got around to it. So, if you''re careful, it can be useful if you miss a collection/season.

It''s funny how bag-crazy many of us are. LOL! I feel much better now!

That one is all leather $499. I trust her 100%. She fully admits that she has someone get them for her in Italy dirt cheap and sells them for profit. She encourages you to get it checked out. her communication is awesome.

$499.00 is just the 1/2 deposit !!

I wish it was the full price.
 
OOPS! LOL...Sorry. I should have known but I don't know anything about the bag's pricing. Sorry LOL, how I didn't get your hopes up

. Love it!!
Sorry all that my pics are so big and annoying!
 
LV''s last FOREVER, I have vintage LV''s passed down from my grandmother and my mother and they still look amazing! I also like Hermes bags, their material is of great quality and they also don''t lose their value. Christian Dior is nice too but you really have to be a fashionista to pull them off since they have such unique looks to them! I live between 5th Ave and Madison Ave on 60 st and I can''t help but buy LV''s allmost every other day since it''s literally lik 3-4 blocks away from me! lol
 
Oh this thread is wonderul. Diamonds and handbags in one place - what more could a girl ask for!

I am on cloud nine as I have just taken delivery of a bag I have wanted since I was 14 years old. I have just received a Chanel 255 and I am so happy. i love love love it

Next up is an Hermes Birkin or Kelly - I just hope I get it sooner than my Chanel
