Balenciaga Handbag: Please help authenticate purse! - Page 6

Oh well, nevermind. The bid just leaped up to $535 and the reserve still isn't met. Sheesh... how much does this lady think her used bbag is worth?

She has a BIT for $800... nobody is going to pay that.

^^^ i just checked the listing - that bag is too adorable. i didn't know thay they even come with a mini shoulder strap...how cute! oh, and that color is amazing. i'm obsessing over shades of blue currently for bags...wish they made that color for a City or Step.

boysRsmelly · April 3rd, 2008, 06:53 PM

^^^ LOL! Yep, they came complete with a shoulder strap and mirror. I believe the bag is authentic... but the price is really getting up there now.

I just don't think a used mini bbag is worth more than what the retail price was. ::sigh:: And yes, the color is really pretty. I was really wanting the eggplant though. Oh so gorgeous!

Well, i called the balenciaga store in ny....and they said it is not an authorized retailer, they have no online retailers...only in store at barneys, neiman marcus, or saks...so i canceled my order....i'm either gonna buy the vert thyme bag from the ny balenciaga store or i'm thinking of a louis!? Can't make up my mind!! But i didn't wanna take a chance on spending that much for a bag and not knowing if it was real!

bRs, it's a blessing you didn't win it. it's not authentic. the font on the underside of the interior leather tag was incorrect as well as the hardware.

when the price is unbelievable or too good to be true, especially for something like a Balenciaga bag, i would look before leaping. the photos on that site look like stock photos, and besides, you cannot view the close-up pics of the hardware nor interior to verify its authenticity. i say nay on this one......

Are you serious? LOL! You can hardly see the font the picture is so blurry, how could you tell? Oh well, somebody paid $688 for it I think.

What about this one?
100% AUTH BALENCIAGA FRENCH BLUE SHOULDER/CLUTCH! TPF!! - eBay (item 330224867864 end time Apr-08-08 18:49:46 PDT)
It ends in 4 hours though. I've been watching it because I like the color and the seller says they are a TPF member. Now I'm not really sure what to think.

good luck on this one-it's good to go

as far as the font of the serial number on the blue mini classique-yes, it is blurry in the picture; but you can even see there is a noticeable difference between the serial number font on that versus the serial number font on the FB shoulder makeup clutch (which is correct).

boysRsmelly · April 8th, 2008, 05:09 PM

Thanks Madison, I'll probably bid on this one!

madisonandfifth · April 8th, 2008, 05:22 PM

bRs, i hope you get it! i have a 2005 magenta shouldermakeup clutch and i love it! you won't be sorry! let us know how it goes *crosses fingers*

boysRsmelly · April 8th, 2008, 05:58 PM

Okay, I bid on it... but I didn't win. Somebody REALLY wanted it and I didn't want to pay too much for it since it had flaws. Oh well, I'll just keep my eyes open for others.

madisonandfifth · April 8th, 2008, 06:17 PM

but that's okay, i'll keep our eye out for you on shoulders and mini classiques/twiggys

boysRsmelly · April 8th, 2008, 06:48 PM

^^^ LOL! How'd you know?

Thanks for helping me out! I would really like a bbag, but most of them are just way bigger than what I normally carry. I just like small bags, I can't help it! LOL!
