are receipts easy to fake? I'm seeing tons of them on auction sites

Easy to fake if you know how or you have the templates to fake them. There was an IOffer seller (since removed) who was selling receipt templates for the major department stores and boutiques.

I have a balenciaga first in off white color ( bone) from 2002 collection. It was my very first balenciaga bag. I would like to sell it as I need the money. Does anyone know how much it is worth it. It is in used but in great condition, no tears or stains.
thanks,

 

[kimair]

Hi All. I have not posted here in awhile but I need everyones help please!!!???

I recently charged to my CC a Cartier ring and I really didn't have any business buying but I LOVE IT & had to have it!!! I also HATE being in credit card debt!!!!

I told myself as I was buying the ring that I would part with 3 of my Bbags.

Now I just do not know which ones to sell????

I have an 05 Rouge City, 05 Magenta Day, 07 lilac Twiggy, 07 blueberry Day, 07 Limited Edition magenta City, and a 07 violet PT with GSH.

I can't sell my violet PT because my boyfrined bought it for me. My rouge City is very much loved so I don't think it would be worth selling it. The handles are dark. I want to keep a Day because I like the style but which one? I do not need 2 magenta bags...do I? I mean we all know the limited edition magenta is not the same as the 05. The only problem I have w/my 05 magenta day is that I got it on a trade and it is kinda used and I am very picky and would have liked it to me more brand new. It has kinda all over darkened =( but the leather is wonderful. Do you all think I could get a good price for it? I'm not going to sell it if I won't get much for it. I think I am pretty set on parting with the lilac twiggy and then I have to do one of the days and then if I keep the 05 magenta should I part with my "perfect" LE magenta city?

Sorry for the long post. Your opinions will be much appreciated!!!

 

[caroulemapoule]

I prefer magenta '05 over '07, and I don't think you would get much out of the '05 if it is, as you said, well loved. So I would sell the magenta '07,
And then I would sell the Lilac twiggy, because I'm not into the twiggy style And then I would donate the blueberry to me

Great collection

 

[kimair]

marcj...that's called the convertible bag and it was out for f/w 07.08...
i thought it was a cool style...
neiman marcus had that bag on sale after the holidays...
you could call around and see if any stores still have it...

hc...i agree with caroule...the 07 LE magenta isn't as nice imo as the 05 version...
and balenciaga is coming out with another magenta for f/w 08.09...

you'd get the most money for the 05 magenta, the 05 rouge city, and the 07 LE magenta (because it was a LE)...
but don't sell that rouge city!!

 

[hc1871]

Thanks all. I know the twiggy will be leaving me b/c as caroule said, I have just never dig'd the twiggy style. I would hate to part with both magentas because that is my fav color. I just hate to have to part with any of them. I like to hoard bags. LOL

 

[Miz*Bags*Behavin]

No, the Blueberry to me, Pretty Please!!! I know we shouldn't discuss sales of any kind here but just the thought of Blueberry. I think you'd get a lot for that one on fee-bay because the color is highly desirable. Bet that's some ring, now I want to see photos.

 

[caroulemapoule]

There is a blueberry day at ebay at the moment, watch it and see how it ends

 

[DriversHigh]

caroule, is it yours?

 

[caroulemapoule]

No, but I would loooove to have one

 

[DriversHigh]

Oh, I see.

It was a short auction though because I was on ebay just last night and didn't see the item and it only has 2 hours left??

 

[Aby]

I'm saving up some money to get the Day in black... if I can still find it.

 

[DriversHigh]

is the strap the only difference between the courier and the day?
