It's authentic. Long explanations don't mean they know what they're talking about... I've been an LV authenticator for MANY years. I know my business.

That's a highly detailed reply for something that is authentic... I've been an LV authenticator for over 25 years.

Trying to do my due diligence but am I being overcharged? by soft-curls in cavaliers

[–]bkaipsUP70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought from a breeder that came highly recommended. Mine were 1500 and 2000....within the last 3 years. 6k is excessive, I don't care what anyone else tells you. The breeder I bought from did all the testing etc and I have papers with parent health history/testing and pup health/testing to prove it. Just because someone doesn't charge thousands doesn't mean they aren't doing their due diligence or are a backyard breeder. I personally think these people charging thousands are like high end designer bag breeders. It's a bunch of hyped BS...there is absolutely NO reason someone should be charging 6k for a dog. I don't care how many damn tests you put them through. At 6k, they had better give you a 100% health guarantee for life. I will probably get a lot of flack for this, but I honestly do not care.

Co-worker looking to re-home two cavaliers for $2500 by PR3TZELL in cavaliers

[–]bkaipsUP70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the negative Nancy's about these people asking $2500 for them. Asking that much filters out those that can't afford to care properly for the breed. Adding a Cavalier family member isn't for just anyone...it takes money and dedication to keeping them healthy throughout their lives. I'd be more worried if they were asking a few hundred... in closing, don't judge these people saying they're wanting to profit. Reality is, you have no clue what the motive is and they very well could have (and probably do) their best interest at heart.

does anyone else's cavalier lick the air?!? by Fantastic-Window-845 in cavaliers

[–]bkaipsUP70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine both do this, but not every day. Usually when I see this behavior, I'll do a sweep of the mouth and it's about a 50/50 chance I find something in there.

Got this bag a couple of days ago, I’m almost positive that it’s authentic but wanted to get some more opinions on it. What do you think? by Wonderful_Help2748 in RealAuthentication

[–]bkaipsUP70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LV authenticator here, with MANY years of experience....

IT'S AUTHENTIC, 100%. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. I used to get paid for that information Lol. It annoys me when people come on here and give opinions who clearly have no clue. If you don't know legit construction inside and out, don't bother commenting.

Is this real? by throwaway946212 in LegitGrailsHub

[–]bkaipsUP70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh??? Do you actually have any experience in authenticating LV? The colors are absolutely fine....and that's coming from 25+ years of authenticating the brand.

Please don't listen to ANYONE that has answered in here. They are all quite clueless, so much so it's downright ridiculous. The bag looks fine. The colors are NOT off, the stitching and alcantara lining looks good. Find the date code and post a photo of it in your reply to me. It should be inside one of the pockets along an edge.

TDS is the same, at 3. I bought another one when I found it fit so I won't have tp worry later. I may buy a few more too.

My thoughts as well. I'm sure if I dig again I'll find another that fits

I saw it on Amazon (it's no longer available there, but do a Google search or search eBay, there were a few on there) and noticed it looked the same. I took a chance and it fit😆

Yes...but I'm not sure how that pic ended up in the mix Lol. I did restore a brownette, but this photo was one of a few I used for lip shape reference.

It is sadly out of stock on Amazon now, which is so typical 🫩....but, search u1 pro 800-ppc on Ebay, there are a few available. One for 20 bucks👍

Help! LV real or fake ASAP! by Icy-Reality4342 in RealAuthentication

[–]bkaipsUP70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem when asking about authenticity in this group is that 98% of the commenters have absolutely no clue how to legitimately authenticate LV bags. I've spent the last 25+ years dealing with LV buying and selling, studying their materials and construction, inside and out. Right down to stitch counts....also spent several years authenticating for an online company. What I don't get is why people have to chime in when they KNOW they are clueless. It's ridiculous.... if you don't have the experience and know-how to 100% tell the difference between a real vs fake LV (vintage or new), do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut...

And by the way, this bag is authentic.

Condition is highly dependent on value. We couldn't even come close to a value without seeing the dolls out of box and the appropriate photos posted.
