Counterfeit Celine Selling for LOTS of Money
Celine luggage bags are truly coveted. The price of these bags have increased significantly every year, and it doesn't look like the price hike will stop anytime soon. If you have your eye on one particular color and style, it's still incredibly difficult to locate even at retail prices. With such crazy demand, also comes a flood of counterfeits! We took a look at some of eBay's most recently sold Celine luggage bags to examine just how bad the problem is.
The vast majority of Celine mini, micro, nano, trapeze, and phantom bags that sell for under $1500 will be counterfeit. And, once the price is higher than $2000, it's usually not an incredible deal anymore. So, our search covered bags that sold from $1500-$2000.
We went through each and every listing and authenticated the listing by carefully examining the photographs. Celine requires meticulous authentication and is not one of those designers that you want to authenticate just by touching, and it must pass more checkpoints than many other brands.
Isn't it amazing just how many counterfeits are being sold well over $1000?! And, most of the fake listings insist that the item is authentic. 🙁
This kind of activity makes selling and buying resale really difficult and dangerous. Can you imagine all the counterfeit claims that result from this one brand alone? Every day, trusting buyers are receiving fakes, sometimes never even finding out their bag is fake! And, buyers aren't the only victims. I imagine that there are a bunch of false counterfeit claims as well due to paranoid buyers. I mean... can you blame them for being paranoid after seeing just how many bags are fake!?!
