Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | To Bid or not to bid on the juicy carrier I really really want this Juicy couture carrier because it does not scream Juicy like the normal bags and no one will notice I am carrying a dog. The regular price of a juicy bag is around 350. This one is 280 on ebay. I emailed the person selling it and she says that it comes from a middle man because she can not directly buy from Juicy. I really want it, but I want it to be authentic for that price tag. I have been looking around for an alternative...and I dont really like the other ones. A store around here is selling a petote one from probably a year ago and the leather is not as nice. Am I nuts or what??? I keep telling myself to let it go...but then something is like BID BID BIDDDDDDDDDDDD...you will never find it again!!! |

| I'd spend a few bucks more to insure that it's REAL. Nothing worse than paying big moola for a fake. PASS!

| I agree. There are a lot of fakes on ebay and for that price you want to make sure you get the real thing!!

| I don't know how much your dog weighs or if you have even lifted one of the Juicy bags up but they are not light. I really wanted one a long time ago but realized why would I buy a bag that weighs more than my dog to carry her in. I think there are better carriers out there.

| I would pass as well... I love my juicy couture but wouldnt take a chance on ebay... there are more fakes then there are real ones. BUUUUT, why dont you send us the link, are there close up pictures of the bag? I know there are alot of ladys on here including me that know juicy pretty well and might be able to spot a fake just by looking at the pictures (it depends on the pictures but it couldnt hurt, right?)

| Does the seller offer a certificate of authenticity or a serial number you can call the company with to check? The easiest way to spot a fake juicy bag is if the handles are wrapped in plastic its fake. Juicy NEVER wraps the handles. Are the pictures on the auction of the actual bag or just stock photos from a catalog? Post a link to the auction. I'll check it out for you if you'd like. I've bought a few Coach bags ($398-$548 price range) from ebay, and people fake coach bags all the time. I just researched what to look for and got great results.

| Wow that is a lot to pay for a bag. I am sure that there are better options then to spend $300 on a bag to carry your furbaby. It just seems a bit outragious for a bag. But that is my opinion.

| The pictures look authentic....I love my juicy and so does Vixxen! Its the perfect size for her. Its a personal choice really....I like the way this one looks too, very descreet. They are a bit heavy, but I love mine.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Link your suggestions I am up for suggestions... I want a carrier that is 1/2 a purse 1/2 a carrier and does not stand out as a dog carrier. I am finicky about purses. I dont go buying a million of them. I invest in a classic and take care of it. So I am not a penny pincher when it comes to a good bag. 300 was my highest bid but it went for 385 so I guess other peoples limits are higher...haha... But i am open for suggestions...I have looked everywhere the only other one I really liked was a Cece Kent (the Milan) for 550...and that did not have the purse side...which is what I need |
