Legit Checks

[ChrisL]

Yes it is legit. The details, the composition etc. It must be that the seller has sold some ro cheap right?

chrome hearts

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=chrome+hearts+bracelet

Are any of the chrome hearts bracelet on ebay legit? After observing for weeks, most of the listers have low ratings, and appears to reuse same pictures, and selling the same the item after 10 days or so; always listing a bracelet for sale one at a time.

Everything sounds shady and too good to be true, and I do know that there are fakes going around (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OnZ1lkrLII skip to 2.28 mins).

I do think that most of em are probably not real like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/chrome-heart...ht_1635wt_1396, but just wanted to hear what another's opinions.

I would be super super careful buying anything CH off of ebay aside from someone who is very very reputable. It's just so easily faked and so widely faked that you can never be sure.

Most of the CH stuff on eBay is fake. Some ways of telling:

They have professional, hi-res photos that might feature some CH logo on the always black background.

All sellers are American, and have generic usernames that somehow look English but are rather nonsensical. They all have feedback of around 15-20, and if you check the details it's usually 1 cent auctions or private listings. Also, most have that Auctiva auction app thing in the listing description.

They claim the items are authentic, but if you compare them to the genuine thing you may be able to see some differences in the texture of the more 3-d parts or finish.

Finally, all auctions start at 0.99. Who would sell a 1,5k+ piece of jewellery for 100 bucks?

Although I must admit those douchebags have been very beneficial to me, as I've had the luck of buying genuine CH for 15-20 bucks, as noone seems to be impressed by normal home photos.

legit ?
99 cent reserve...

[beardown]

Come on.
There is a shitload of photos that show the label, show almost all of the construction of the blazer. What about that listing could possibly make you think it was fake?

In short, 100% legitimate and no reason to think otherwise.

[zamb]

Yep

that's whats good about some of Carols stuff, so intricate and precise you just cant fake that........

[mattizzle]

Looks 100% legitimate to me. What about it makes you suspicious?

Never own any ROs so can't tell

fake julius?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-MA-JULIUS-Japan-Mens-Leather-Ankle-Boots-Shoes-Red-Wine-colour-US-Size-8-10-/290670380494?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item43ad4e05ce#ht_5606wt_1163

does julius have sizing that correspond to a men's 8, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5? I thought their 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. were spaced apart further than that. Auction also states MA Julius, boots themselves say _7.

[tron]

gonna guess those _7s are fake because of this:

"pre-production prototype _7 drop crotch
i have never heard of a julius item coming without a tag. even if it's a sample it still has the sample tag with all of the info on the reverse of the tag "1st,2nd,3rd,etc.." are these legit?

[beardown]

Those were discussed a few pages back. Ends up they're being sold by someone who was caught up in a paypal dispute with an SZer about 'misrepresenting' an item. Proceed with caution.

legit. i think i might have skipped over that. it was relisted recently. there is 100% nothing identifying them as julius besides what he says his friend said. 2 people are bidding on them...

^^^Those Julius pants are NOT fake. That guy used to sell Julius samples and some really rare Julius product because he had a proxy from Japan that would get authentic stuff. It used to take FOR F*CKING EVER, but the product I bought was always 100% legit and some of which was uber rare. I'd still put him as a 6 / 10 on the shady scale where you'd prefer to be a 1 / 10........but it's for completely different reasons not related to selling fake items...

As for those boots..... Woah. The red ones look so legit and it's sad to see _7 fakes entering the market. Now I'll have to avoid this shit....

true story: i won the pants and then got suspicious. it was a few days and i was in new york for a bit and he relisted the item and they ended last night and he sends me a message and says "hey are you going to pay? it's been a week!" and i was fully aware he sold the same item to someone else for $10 more and was still wanting to know when i was going to pay so i told him "you just relisted and sold the item in a quick auction..." so there is something extremely shady going on if you ask me. i know i shouldnt have bid on them but ebay is a shitshow.
