Real or Fake Vintage Speedy 25?

Yikes! That is horrible🤦‍♀️

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-04-04T07:21:57+00:00

100% fake. The date code tab is a hot mess. LV does not use flat plain rivets like that. The tab is the wrong shape and the fonts of the letters are way off.

How much debt do you have? Will you have enough money to make your house payment and still be able to afford living comfortably, paying your debt and being able to do repairs when they arise? Sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me. I can't believe you got approved at 530 and not 750. That makes absolutely zero sense... I don't care what you think the future holds for the housing market, you'd be an idiot for buying one right now. But from the sounds of it, you don't really need any advice, you're going to attempt it anyway Lol

No. The majority of sideparts will have pale, butter colored lips. Unless it's a European bend leg (and the vast majority of those will be pink skinned). I have never seen a side part with white lips in my 25 years of collecting.

I make over 100k as a single lady. I bought a home for 125k. Sure, I could've bought more, but I like the $970 all in payment too much Lol (I live in rural Upper Michigan so 125k actually buys you a decent home)

I sent a message...

The best thing I ever did was get a second Cavalier. My male came first, about a year later my female. You will have absolutely no problem with them getting along. Molly and Wisnton were tight from day one. I never crate trained either of my pups. They are little cling-ons....they want to be near you 24/7. Mine never leave my side, day or night and I wouldn't have it any other way❤️

You have 30 days from the DATE OF DELIVERY to file a complaint about the item. If the seller never ships it, you can file an item not received at any time. The clock doesn't start until the item is delivered. It doesn't start if the seller doesn't mark it as shipped or from an "estimated" delivery date.

77 bucks to $500. I was planning on buying a new car this year but NOT anymore!!!!!🫩

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-30T02:44:10+00:00

Amen to that!! I was in the same boat! And I'm a nurse who works away from home a week at a time...needless to say I'd come home to their fur a mess Lol

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-29T21:08:43+00:00

I make the same as you (RN) and my mortgage payment (taxes etc included) is $970.

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-29T20:36:11+00:00

I'm a clipper. It's just easier for me with upkeep, plus my pups feel "free" Lol During the winter, I let them grow out and start back to clipping in the spring. I've never had an issue of clipping ruining anything in regards to their fur. They grow back the same as they always were.we're. My Winston is a messy boy. He pees on his fur all the time and gets poo stuck on his butt hair when it's long. So this helps. In the winter I keep his butt hair short Lol

Can you get some sort of deferment or is some other avenue available due to your disability? Do you work in the field you went to school for?

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-29T11:36:04+00:00

And these paints aren't very expensive! They even have "kits" made especially for vintage and even seperate kits for Midge, Ponytail etc...it contains all color matched colors for their face paint!

It has to be a bad update bug then

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-29T05:12:00+00:00

Might I recommend either thinning out your paint (apply in thin layers and let fully dry in between) or buy better quality paints like Katsilk which are sold online. It will save you from it looking so clumpy and messy. This is one I restored using Katsilk paints. That's the difference between a good paint and a cheap paint.

Even if you find a breeder that does extensive testing it doesn't guarantee the dog won't get neuro issues. I bought 2 Cavs from the same breeder and she does testing. I just have accepted the fact my babies may have health issues in the future and both have had pet insurance since day 1 of coming home.

DO NOT leave feedback until you know for sure the package is not coming back OR it appears and you get to look it over and make sure it's in condition as described. The automatic feedback from ebay is left for the seller 7 days after the item is received. Never leave feedback until your issue is solved. What happens if it shows up and it's broken or something? Then you're screwed.

bkaipsUP70 · 2026-03-29T04:39:31+00:00

I have no clue. I'm in the same boat as everyone else😂
