For those who have brought LV must have used some sort of authenticating service at one point or another. One company came to mind, namely AuthenticateFirst.com. It was actually quite sad sorry of how I know about them. I heard it from a client who sold her Hermes Birkin on Ebay only to have the buyer scam her. How did the buyer her you ask? The buyer will have an authentication service 'authenticate' her bag and the result will come back as a 'Fake'.
Nov 23, 2018 - In the inside part of the belt there is an authenticity code, but it doesn't mean that if a Gucci belt has this code it's authentic, because even good.
Then the buyer files SND with paypal and they return the item back to the seller. (if you are lucky they send you back the bag/ebay sometimes ask them to distroy the counterfeit) Awhen buyers buy an expensive item and they want to return the item they have to motivations: 1. Buyers Remores 2.
Questionable Authenticity 3. Scam You Scenario 1 Most authentication companies will work on the biase that the item is fake.
If the buyer believes its fake, the authenticator will most like side with the buyers opinion just so that they can have repeat business. Scenario 2 Don't know if its real but brough it anyways because it was cheap. The authenticator will look for all the markings of a fake from internet sources- NOT EXACTLY promising. Real experts draw from experience and have their way to tell. For example; I have an Louis Vuitton Zippy wallet for over 7 years and this wallet still looks great to this day. However, the date code is rubbed off- So.to the casual observer its a fake.
Even my friends who have worked for LV things its fake. The only person that can tell was expert- he is pawnshop owner from Fort Lauderdale. He is in the business for 20 years and I buy stuff bags from him. He is literally THE AUTHENTICATOR Scenario 3 The Bait and Switch Scammer buys a real bag and Files SND with Ebay. Authenticate fake bag as proof.
The scammer gets the bag for FREE Here is an article on AUTHENTICATEFIRST.com http://thedirty.com/2014/04/authenticate-first-fraud-company/. Placement: 10 squares should display the Louis Vuitton wording. Date Stamp Check for heat stamp inside the bag. There should always be one - No exception 3.
Packaging I focus on the bag and not too much about the packaging. The bag should come with a dust bag and Box. I can't stress enough - FOCUS on the bag not the external packaging. People can give you a real packaging but a fake bag. Most people don't keep the box.
I personally never keep boxes. I just keep the dust bag. Final thought: COMMON SENSE: Anything below 900 - you should question the authenticity of the bag. This bag is 2400 dollars. Used/pre-own goes for 1100-1800 depending on condition. If the bag is brand new be very carful!
NO ONE in the right mind will let this bag go brand new for anything less than 200 retail. Coming Soon - side by side comparison between the real and the fake. Fake: Dust bag never have the Fendi Symbol at the lower corner 8 FINAL THOUGHTS I've been buy authentic stuff on craigslist and Ebay for years. If you know what to look for YOU WILL find a good bargain. However alot of people put too much emphasis on receipts. Which is a shame, because most fakes produce BETTER receipts then the belt itself.
So I always ask for the VISA/MC transaction. I see people missed out on bargains because they watch youtube with self proclaim experts compare the difference. Source: I worked at Fendi Premium Outlet in Orlando, Florida for 5 years as a 3 years as store manager and 2 years as a Sales Associate.

The model name of the genuine Gucci belt in the video is the Gucci signature leather belt & it retails for £265 on the official Gucci online store. The belt is available in a number of different colours. As always with luxury items, many people, knowingly or not, sell fake/replica versions as real. Use this video as a guide to help you spot replicas & avoid being scammed. Please note that not all differences I speak on in the video will always be 'tells'.
Authentic models do change slightly over time and not all fake versions are the same - This can occasionally be the reason for certain differences I have noted. If in doubt it is always best to contact Gucci directly.
