[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, and you can't tell if the higher end stuff is authentic or not, even if its supposedly authenticated. I've seen clearly fake designer clothes, bags, etc. on all of those sites. The ones with few photos and a seller who doesn't respond to questions. Also the last time I bought something on etsy hoping for a homemade item from a small business, it shipped from China, and so probably wasn't.[/quote]

Gotta find the article but read somewhere that an "authenticator" aren't the experts the way people think they are. They were taught to look for certain things elements and that's it and they are usually based on modern clothing and bags. I knew a few people who inherited vintage designer bags. One tried to sell a couple of them on ebay and they were flagged as fake because they did not have the same identifiers as a modern bag. Some of these bags were older than the people judging them. They even had the 40 year old receipt and box but the expert authenticators declared it as fake.
Buyers can also be difficult. They are fine buying pre-loved but if the identifiers are outside the window of what they know (or think they know) they will swear it is fake.[/quote]
