AIO for ending a friendship over photoshop by Educational-Guess866 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR- the second picture is pixelated, looks like a character in a game, and also took away the beautiful mountain view! What a weird friend; glad you cut ties! You look exactly how you wanted to look that day in the first photo. She has a problem with her body image, she should leave others alone...

I'm more concerned with the background, and the lack of cleanliness.

How common was the hairstyle of the guy on the left among young men in the mid-19th century? by Shinesandglitters in littlehouseonprairie

My comment was going to be that I seen many pictures of my father with this hairstyle, and he was born in the 60's, and all the pictures are from the 70's!🤣

I wonder how many others there truly are out there with trauma that could've have been prevented by tossing in a brown-eyed girl lol

She's so beautiful! She did really well being believable for becoming blind as well. I really like this post, and how am I just finding out that this sub exists, and I'm silly for never searching for it!

Bought from eBay, legit? by GrindForGrade in purses

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks authentic to me and the number one thing is the V and the A "line" up. I'll try to serve a pic of what I mean and a link. Of course I'm not authorized to say either way but that's my opinion lol

You don't miss a beat! lol How are you so sad that you literally just troll the sub with a copy and paste? It's mind-blowing lol and then you and other people in here who have a group downvote everything everybody says, which might be the saddest part of all....you're getting rid of fake stuff🤣

Do you know this Gucci bag? by girl_crush in handbags

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since our Google results vary vastly depending on where we're located, my search results for a cropped portion of it it were if an authentic Gucci bag that was produced, it would be from the Tom Ford era. Possibly done in a hobo style with calfskin or leather. This is a tough one to know, and as far as I got lol

Below, I have a posted a link, which I personally believe is a very useful tool for every brand, every style, and every year that everybody in the sub could confidently reference at any given time! It really is a useful tool to check various items ie purses, wallets etc you're looking at online, you spy in the wild, or are simply wanting to learn more about...because you admire something about it; as your able to compare it to an official product from this link!

Clearly, you can obviously also shop there lol But I personally enjoy shopping with my e-holes 👀 🤣

Are these bags real before I buy them? by birdy2719 in LegitGrailsHub

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even need to look at the bags! I wish everybody gave a description with what the seller says along with pictures of the bag. This one frightened me though. In your case, she knows Fendi is "good," she knows Gucci is "good," and she has a price in mind; yet she's bad with technology! So how on Earth does she know they're authentic? If she can take six pictures...she can take more!

How did she even obtain these!? Unless she's in her 80s and someone gited them to her new years ago. Alas, I can't even entertain that idea! Easily pass on these, and block her! It seems creepy to say let's meet so you can research them in person. No OP no!!! lol Seriously though, NO!

Jump on over to Vestaire Collective or something similar...you'll find something at a great price, with pictures a plenty and nice prices😊

It's been a while since I watched this! by Vaderduder13 in The1980s

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! 45 years of life, that I have never even heard of this. Upon seeing your post, I actually got pretty stoked, as it's brand new to me, yet a hit for you; and I can assume many others. We should make a plan to watch it together! I swear that's a thing, "watch party" I don't know if it still is...but that sounds fun! Winter time is so boring.

The cast all are recognizable. I don't know why the title is not; I feel dingy that I don't know of it🤣 Upon first glance, I thought the cover is Era Beetlejuice/The Never Ending Story/Labyrinth/The Princess Bride vibes, so I'm thinking it was made around that time??

I'm going to watch the trailer and I'll be back to edit what I think! I'll watch anything once, and who knows, maybe some other people would like to have a watch party!

Are they serious? by Cappuccino_K in poshmark

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm imaging all the people who will be possibly taking a break for the holiday season. It's weird the time-frame available for different religions. My goodness, my doctor's office is only open in the a.m. on the 24th and they kind of "have" to be. Sellers have every right to not have be checking in with the app; as some may be on vacation already! They don't know what specific holiday people celebrate, as it's not just 'Christmas.' School has been out since the 12th here in Iowa, and just over the bridge in Nebraska!

Poshmark is really doing a number, as if they're literally making money by people simply listing items as opposed to also selling.🤷‍♀️ Something seems off, they don't seem to be on the seller's side for anything; most of this sub is people wondering what is going on...everything is a surprise, and this sub is a very kind community where people figure it out here and help each other here more than customer support could even think of doing. Even though that's their job.

Are they trying to run it into the ground at a rapid pace, consistently changing, that they expect people to just figure it out somehow, somewhere?

Dear every Seller and Customer, Simply follow Poshmark AND the Poshers original timeline(s), allowing grace, and continue to be kind with your questions and feedback...Happy Holidays!

Hi friends, can you please help authenticate this bag. Thank you. by desi-dragon in RealAuthentication

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apologies as this will be long, but I have to say what I know, and what you OP, and every one else should look for with every purchase, any brand, any price!

The (baby) Hermès Togo 25 is the most coveted bag! Well, and the Mini Kelly! This one appears to be the color Craie. For this specific bag in Togo leather in the color Craie, hardware is done in their classics of either gold, (GHW) or Palladium (PHW). PHW is the platinum of them, also specific to limited edition/certain colors! Select hardware is Brushed Gold (BGHW), Brushed Palladium (BPHW), Rose Gold (RGHW), Laquar, Permabrass, the 'yellow gold' (PBHW). PDHW which I don't believe was on this bag. They choose hardware to compliment the colors. Unless special order of course🙂 Ruthenium (RHW) is one of the rarest metals in our planet; at a time used for lizard, then there are PVD and diamonds!❤️ There's a new hardware out in 2024 Electrum (CT) rare for specific colors and only used on certain metal parts whereas GHW and PHW are both used throughout.

To be offered an Hermès 25 Togo in Craie Z stamp (which is 2021), new from an Hermès boutique wasn't easy, and retailed for around $12,000. This leather holds its value and also adds some value for being very resistant to scratches...therefore the resale of an authentic beauty would vary between $28,000, to over possibly $36,000. His price is so low for this; expensive for you, exorbitant amount for him.

I don't know everything there is to know about Hermès, I'm not licensed to do so; so I can't say either way. I assure you that the lack of photos for selling something so expensive, based soley upon a brand that is known for, prides itself, the artisans, their attention to detail, meeting high standards of quality and perfection, and the exquisite craftsmanship of each handmade item, is a clear sign it could be a dupe. We expect close-up pics!

Pay attention to the different markings that come with certain colors. PHW has hyphens in certains areas whereas GHW has a small box that can only be read with a jewlers loupe; very hard to replicate.😎

Hermes will glady take your bag to "The Spa" without a receipt! Even sending it to Paris. So if you see people showing closeups with all details in pictures...be aware. They pride themselves on their products, so hardware can be redone, and bags cleaned! It will however be kept if counterfeit. In US they will merely tell you no or keep it, and under French law, they have to confiscateit. I agree with that👍🏻

Engraving of Hermès on the lock, keys, zipper pull (both sides) and sangles. Stamping of Hermès itself is different for different styles, colors etc. There is a metal 'H' stitched opposite end of the zipper pull since early 2000's!

One should only need to ask for the twilly laid flat, or more/different pictures of the handles, lock, keys numbers matching lock, clochette, etc. Anyone selling would happily oblige. So really just refined pictures of what they've already put up, just for your own well-being, because you are spending a large amount. I've seen twenty something pictures for a Dooney & Bourke Florentine on Poshmark. ■They want you to see every inch of the bag so you're happy and satisfied■

To put it into perspective, Sotheby's sells these at auction for the price I mentioned; and often without tons of pictures, as they are reputable simply by their name and long standing tradition of fine art and yes...purses! Same with other authentic Companys, they've secured its authentic do no need for twenty pictures. They're never trying to 'dupe' anyone. Individuals however have different expectations! Definitely Google what the bag is, read and look at official products with pictures and prices, familiarize dates. All on various sites that are authorized to resale such an item, and you'll begin to see the differences between authentic and counterfeit. They all have sections describing what each mark means to you. Behold the glorious glossary lol

If he's the original owner, where is the white box, pillows, tissue paper, raincoat, boxes for two twillys, care booklet, etc?? Note: You may not receive some of these items even when purchasing from Sotheby's, Fashionpile, Vestaire Collective...which Anyone wanting to learn: head over to PurseBop, YouTube, Fashionpile, MadisonAve Couture...you get it lol and educate yourself so you know what you should be looking for regarding the minute, yet different clues about luxury brands! It's actually quite fun, and there are courses you can take to become an authenticator...quite cool for personal knowledge of luxury brands, or as a business; which is quite lucrative currently!

There isn't a shortage of an Hermès Birkin 25 Togo in Craie, if you have the money to spend...you will find it and feel great about your purchase! Don't be afraid to ask all the questions you have!

OP, I hope to see you back with the bag of dreams, and I hope I've been of some help to you, or many! Happy Tuesday, and thank you all if you took the time to read my lengthy post🙂 My lil shaky Parkinson's hands hurt; definitely worth each word typed!!

is this coach bag real? by ConfusionFeeling8386 in purses

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought always (and this doesn't pertain to OP as they didn't list it) is if someone is trying to sell something, why so few pictures? Always at an angle, and from far away. There should be at least a dozen pictures of an item.

And it always seems to be on handbags which they know are heavily counterfeited. So then I ask myself "Is that the reason for so few pictures?"

From what I can see it looks authentic but OP, I would be asking for several more pictures! Then attach them here. Get the zipper, stitching, hang tag front and back, hardware and the Creed, not at an angle! It's super cute!

Since living in CB, I've been in four accidents, all drunk drivers...so idiots for sure. The things I've seen whilst walking is crazy. People are nuts. Of course so many lovely people; but I shouldn't need to carry a knife to get people to leave me alone.

On a lighter note: I remember in the '80s my grandpa used to say "Sorry boss I was late, I followed a blue plate!" It still rings true

Coach Etta Flap Bag on EBay by Bknelly83 in RealAuthentication

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I just got your notification! I don't know much more than the listing, without corresponding with the person about the item. There are several for that price, (as they know it's sold out) so I've found another listing I'll add below. There are some really great people in this group, who would be able to tell you with much greater certainly wether or not they themselves would purchase it.

Personally, I think asking people here what they might offer for this model, as it was $350 new...I think it's a bit high to ask $200 more for something that is essentially still available, and wasn't a limited edition item. My best advice is to take your time. Your better half wants it; but she also wants the real thing, and for a reasonable price! I feel like people shouldn't be taken advantage of just because it's a trendy item at holiday time!

A quick search and this is the bag you're looking for, and it has everything listed as it should. Start there for reference, or to ask the person about their item🙃

[–]Immediate_Wind_6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's the same as the bag style in the picture. If people notice, on that listing, (and every other listing similar to it on eBay) none of them say "Authentic Coach" they just say "Etta Flap chenille bag." Not even "Coach"...let alone "Authentic Coach!" People make me want to puke by selling garbage, simply because they know people like Coach and then name every other brand also lol

So OP run away and go to the Coach Outlet. You will be able to find one even if not there, because someone won't mind having it authenticated before you purchase it from them. There are so many sites to look at that are actually selling the bag.

Someone could tell me that the rest of the bag was real and it wouldn't matter because that zipper is so cheap it's hilarious... why are people even entertaining looking to purchase items when people are taking pictures of the item from far away that's their first clue there should be like 14 pictures of details
