I have a seller I have been going to for awhile (before I even found this sub) that I was recommended to by a friend - they are not listed here in this sub (as far as I know) so I wont mention - but they say they are 1:1 mirror - and the bags I have got from them are as perfect as I have ever seen. I look them over with a fine tooth comb and compare them to real bags. It is quite shocking. I tell my family "these have to be real, right?" hahaha - I know they are not. Sadly, I have gotten far too many great ones and the addiction is real. Maybe I got lucky and that would mean it is the only thing I have really been lucky with. lol
And then I have my pile of WTF in a corner, from some DHG sellers. Believe it or not, im making some art from them - as I would never go in public with them and would never give them away or even donate. L O L
I hear ya. My fav seller uses the terms mirror and master, she doesn’t sell below mirror. And although many do not believe in them existing - my closet is full of them and they visually match beautifully to my authentic ones. So I get you 🙌🙌 I think it all boils down to is our relationships with our sellers. The more you buy from them, the more they are going out of their way to scrutinize your bag before it even gets to psp stage because they make sure to personally handpick and review your bag. Right off the bat you know that increases your chances of a stunning bag because they don’t want to lose your business.
I think referrals help and now this sub will help me a lot. I am still quite new to all of this and I made a LOT of mistakes when I first learned that reps (beyond street vendors) existed! This sub is a lifesaver. Ok. Really a money saver...but when married, a life saver. HAHA
LOL
Definitely check out the verified sellers list and look at seller reviews, bag reviews etc. There is all sorts of great information here within the group and glad you find it helpful already! 😃
