The bag is a second hand bag.  I’ve purchased three LV’s off eBay as well as other designer bags and none where anywhere near the condition of this bag.  And I posted 21 photos of this bag that clearly showed what wear there is.   These bags sell for $1000+ on eBay so to get a bag of this condition for $600 was a very good buy.
And the bigger issue is that when I bought this bag,  the authenticators didn’t have any issues with the wear that they’ve picked up this time.  I paid $850 for this bag - why didn’t they refund my money if they think there are issues with its condition.  There doesn’t appear to be any consistency amongst the authenticators - it’s the luck of the draw as to whether it will pass or fail the authentication process.

I’m pretty much done  with using eBay, particularly after this debacle.  As the article that was shared earlier states, there don’t seem to be any real protections in place for the seller.  Definitely a good thing if you’re  a buyer but not a fair system if you are a genuine seller!
