<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 592245, member: 51"]The fact that the seller "accepted a return straight away, no arguing or questioning" indicates nothing at all about the authenticity of the piece. When someone returns something on my Ebay account, it could be the Mona Lisa... I accept, do not argue or question. I may be frustrated and disappointed because I'll need to relist/rebox and I'll be out shipping, but anything but cheerful full cooperation may result in negative feedback or worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far no one has proven anything about this piece. The fact that it sold for a fraction of new, I agree with OBB. No box, etc., maybe a scuff or two, a used item can't really be given as a gift as easily. One would expect a fraction of retail. If several of the exact used Gucci pieces were selling on Ebay in the hundreds and this one sold for 1/10th of that, yes, then be suspicious.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are so many Gucci designs, the fact that you can't find this one...well, could mean less popular or maybe it is a fake. If you are buying it to make money in the hopes it was rare, that might not be the best investment, but in fairness you should have done your research before the seller mailed it to you.
