Description
The listing, Louis Vuitton Barrel Purse has ended.
Barrel style,one open compartment inside with small cosmetic zipper.leather interior still smells great.It has all the trademark logos including a padlock with the LV logo. I bought it used so I cannot guarantee that it is an "original".(if it is a knock-off,it is a darn good on).
Questions & Comments
Is it really necessary to report this seller to Louis Vuitton directly? Do you not have better things to do with your time than to go report a Brand New seller? Does it make you feel like you have some sort of power? I think what you did is disgusting. I understand that there are tons and tons of people who don't support the production, buying and selling of replica bags. I get it. But this seller didnt come on here and lie and state that the bag was 100% real, nor did she try to fool anyone into bidding on a bag that she claimed authentic when it's not. All she was was honest. She clearly wrote that she bought it used, didn't know whether the bag was a replica or not, and left it up to the bidders to decide. All she was doing was being honest. Is it really necessary to be totally rude like so many people have been towards her? If these comments were coming from adult mouths, which I'm assuming they are being that you have to be an adult to become a listia member, than everyone who negatively attacked and harassed this seller should be ashamed of yourself. The mature and adult-like way to approach the situation would be to kindly message the seller privately, or even post a comment on here informing her that you are sorry to give her bad news, you do understand that she was unaware if the bag was authentic or not, and that you appreciate her honesty (which is VERY rare to come by these days), but that her bag is a replica. That's all. No nasty comments, no harassing, no going out of your way like you've never made a mistake in your life and reporting her to Louis Vuitton... You're acting as though this woman committed a first degree murder.
i dont think a replica is a bad thing sometimes people cant afford a real bag that is more than 1000 dllsand a replica is something for the people that dont have the money and want a bag like the rich ppl we are all humans and GOD made us all the same but some of us just have more money than other she is not doing a bad thing here i support her she is selling something that is hers and as u can see some people dont care because she is getting some bids
GEESH i was just looking at purses and my lord! All she did was done the RIGHT thing by telling you she didnt know or not would you have rather her sold it saying it was REAL hmmmmm geesh get off the poor girls back think about the other person in this situation she isnt trying to cause any harm and was just new to this and trying it out everyone was new once and you people have scared her off Tyou can report me harrass me do what you want but im tired of this constant CYBERBULLYING. Thank you!
Gawd. You people are ridiculous. Have you nothing better to do than report this lady to louis Vuitton? If you don't like it then don't bid on it. It's not like she was trying to con anyone. Ha- get a life!
Esleeper86, were you asleep when you came up with that comment? "Though it is against the law to have a fake bag in your possession or sell one!" Really? Everyone owns fake everything. From hair, breasts to jewelry...you name it. Walmart is full of copy brands for goodness sake. Everything has been faked & copied for as long as the real thing has been made. Your comment about the seller being honest is hilarious! It's called a Trademarked name & when someone uses it as their own, even to list a fake product, they are saying it IS that product. Her intentions were to make you think it's an LV bag & it says so in her first headlined words. If it were real, like she claimed, she would have known that it was a Speedy bag & not a "barrel". Rules & laws are put in place for a reason. If you can't abide by them, then don't involve yourself in adult business, go back to sitting on the couch living off of the State Welfare or SS like we know half of you do. The only children here are liars acting like they've done nothing wrong, & you backed her up 100%! That's priceless! ("They can't put anything that's not true on the Internet! Where did you hear that?, The Internet") That's about how stupid you sound. Seriously, this is why we have patents. This woman is doing something illegal, it's called Trademarks infringement. I just had an issue with someone trying to sell Zuni signed jewelry & pottery & listing it as Zuni made by them. It's morally wrong & just sickening to see someone take what other individuals have worked hard for & steal it to make their own. So yes, good Karma does come around, for good people supporting & following the laws set up by the Government. If you want to be a criminal, go to Folsom & sign up. I'm sure they'd be happy to take you "legal and honest people". Grow up!!! You can't fake stupidity your entire life! The seller is old enough to be my mother, she knows well what she's doing. It's called common sense, some use it & other wish they had it!!!
To the seller: I really appreciate your honesty. Though it is against the law to have a fake bag in your possession or sell one, you never once claimed this bag to be authentic. You gave everyone the information you had, and that was all. Do not let these people bully you. Grown adults are acting like children. If they don't like it and don't think it's authentic, the mature thing to do would be to walk away. No ones asking them to bid. So hang in there and remember all these people who are acting like they're the bosses were all once new too. I'm behind you 100% ;). Keep listing and stick with the genuinely nice people who won't attack you for being HONEST! Dont let all the rude remarks and rude people ruin listia for you. And please remember, what goes around comes around :)!
wow another nice auction getting hassled all over a name. I listed my LV and had the same B.S. I hope you have better luck then me and it is a cute purse!!
Oh my god really, and we wonder why klds are such bullies. So you report it to LV and lets just say your wrong. now what . Anyone who claims to know a LV is fake or not is a liar. Unless you work for them your no expert. I have two of them real and paid the real deal. I showed it to someone and they were like oh that is so fake until I showed them the receipt. Also with LVS the serial number is not always in the same place it could be under a strap sewn inside. people who do this to other people is bullying. It is a shame and actually it is harrasment. If you do not like her auction do not bid. I do not like knock off anymore than the next person but better be careful before accusing. There is a kinder way of handling things
THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL LOUIS VUITTON SPEEDY BAG. Marks are off, Handles on originals are not square & are not attached in this fashion. A major clue to originals is their print. It's ALWAYS straight & ALWAYS with the marks identically straight below & under handles as well as within borders of piping edges. Lock is fake! I own an original Speedy 30 (This exact bag @ $790. This style bag come in many sizes. From Mini HL $530 to Speedy 40 $840)). Marks on bag shown above are not typical of Louis Vuitton. I own several LV bags & would know. LV's are made in USA as well. Being on US soil, it falls under more strict guidelines & laws. Remove the listing. Take it to a Real Louis Vuitton store. Louis will tell you. One major key to look for when buying ORIGINAL Louis', they NEVER go on sale. No matter the store, YOU WILL PAY FULL PRICE FOR ALL LV BAGS & they are a luxury brand, so they don't need to have sales. If you purchased a LV on sale, it's a fake (Manager at the Louis Vuitton downtown Waikiki, HI said so). Even on eBay & second hand used may be a fake. When in doubt, look up signs of an Original, look at LouisVuitton.com. New LV's will cost several 100's of dollars to start. Key chains are 100's, even wallets 1,000's. I have a Sharleen bag & paid w/tax over $3,100. LV has no customer credits or rewards points. It's expensive & to people who pay top dollar price in owning originals feel it's a lifestyle & privilege. Fakes look fake to LV owners & they can tell this from a mile away. Listia, I would drop the listing for legal purposes. Seller obviously does not morally feel wrong about fraudulently listing a fake. Re-list as a Fake! People don't care if it's fake & want to own something expensive looking. My professional business owner opinion, I would not list this as an Original.
Hi Melinda! Welcome to Listia! Sorry about all the grief. I understand. Our non-profit organization had an authentic LV Speedy and matching shoes donated. Since we did not have authenticity papers, we knew we could not get what it was worth unless we did. So I, who had never even heard of a Louis Vuitton, had to do a crash course to learn the real from the fake and ended up sending about 30 pics of the two items to a website that has a Louis Vuitton design specialist to verify that the items were real. They were but in all the research to learn, I was introduced to many fake sites that LV has had to purchase, and sue because of fraud. I understand exactly why the folks get upset. But hey, don't leave Listia!! As in anything we do, there are rules. You can have loads of fun with us!! The more the merrier!
I think you were fine stating that you weren't sure about the authenticity. Folks do that with jewelry all the time. I was wrong about MAC once. Someone could have approached me with respect and politeness to let me know I was wrong but who does that here? Most would rather let you know you are a terrible person doing "illegal" things.
At least give her time . you got her all confused and upset. if she was a seasoned listen i would understand, but she is new. new york sells then all the time. why are they not in trouble, but an innocent person gets lashed at. warn and then call. don't be a called eager to be the first one to call. let the moderator do their job here. they are more than capable.
Oh Lord! Louis Vuitton doesn't care about her little ole purse! When they say report counterfeit, they mean dirty dealers in the market of selling counterfeits. This has gotton very ignorant. Enough already! She said that she can't guarantee that it's real OR NOT. No she shouldn't have hid some of the post, but can you blame her? She's getting attacked over something stupid. Don't bid! If you don't think it's 100% real! Don't bid and get off her auction. She is new and didn't know. It is up to Listia to deal with this seller and her auction, not ANYONE else. You want a purse that's you know is 100% real than go to the LV store and get you one! I do! You can't afford to go to the LV store, than deal with a 50/50 chance of getting a counterfeit. You don't want a 50/50 chance in getting a counterfeit and can't afford to go to the LV store, than what the heck are you even doing on her auction? See how ridiculous everyone harassing her sounds? Go on and go bug someone you know on FB and leave the Listians alone
You know, I have an medium size AUTHENTIC Louis Vuitton Montagual that I have been REALLY debating on listing and I KNOW IT"S real because I know where I got it with receipt, box and bag. Still kinda debating on it, I have a few so I'm really not using it. It's really too bad for the ones that were hateful to the seller of this purse because she is new and didn't know. I just blocked all of you! I'm also going to be watching other name brand auctions to see who's nasty talking on those as well. I'm sure other sellers are taking note also. I'm positive I'm not the only one that doesn't want your mouth running on my auction. BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK! Easy thing to do! You loss!
Wow! all of this makes me not really sure if i want to deal with the buyers on this site!!! i think you have scared me off, this one person seems to the self appointed police of listia and that it's self should not be allowed by listia. bullying is not cool at all. you should be ashamed!!!!
michelleshea28 you sound just like one of those old biddy busybody cackling hens from the old days and your profil picture fits right in with your cackling old bibby mouth. Like I said, you have ZERO compete auctions and ZERO feedback so you just became a new Listia member and have already run your mouth and got yourself blocked. WOW, really? I can tell you wont last long on here! Go harasse some other member if you're not already so Listia can go on and kick you off. Let Listia do their job and quit scaring away new Listians that are still learning. We can't get new Listians selling great stuff because of old nosey harassing people like you. You run them off because it's not worth it to them. If you hadn't noticed she had other things for sale. She might have done wrong posting this purse because she didn't know but it't not up to you to harasse her. You flag it and go to the very bottom on (contact us) and submit a ticket. You better figure this out before you get kicked off. True caring Listians stick up for lne another not harasse them
GREAT, she took her other auctions down! Hope you're proud of yourselves! Like I said you all keep up the harassing and running off Listias new members and you'll be gone!!!
Really all of this over one really cute purse??? I would pay 13000 for it real or not, its cute;) Dont listen to this witchy women, you go girl and sell any way you want to. Listia is the only one I would even listen to (and only because they have the power to kick me off) LMAO.......
We hope everyone has a good experience with the auctions here.

never thought about it being a violation to the manufacturer.my apologies. . i bought it used so i definetly did not want to give someone a misrepresentation that is an original and then upset someone.
My advice to all you gals who are upset that this purse is still live. Do something like>-<
Someone should purposely win this counterfeit item and then REFUSE it because its FAKE and then Request their credits back.. Dont even let her ship the counterfeit item.
I dont have the credits or I would of definitely "Taken one for the team! " If this was actually real it would be valued at about $2000 and she picked it up in a thrift store for less than 20 dollars most likely.. who would give away a REAL Louis vuitton.? A knock off ? ABSOLUTELY. She knows its fake, she has been sent a link to the Louis Vuitton website that shows her what a real ONE is supposed to look like and some fine examples of a used ones
PLease seller , step up and do the right thing. Or At least have the decency to Admit its fake.
Seller would you like to have this listing removed so we can stop all this drama? Just let me know? I would be happy to remove this listing for you .

Oh, hindegold and michelleshea28, you two have no completed auctions and 0 feedback so I don't know why you two are even on this sellers auction messing with her. Right there shows me that this is just harassing. Everyone needs to let Listia handle their own sellers
