Are online shops safe to buy the authentic and preowned LV bags?

There are some stores are selling authentic and preowned bags. I just want to know if it is safe to buy at the online shop for that. If so, can you spot the fake ones just buy looking in the pictures? I am so worry about that since there are times I really don't have time to buy at the store.

Which online stores are you referring to? I'll assume you're referring to the local ones.

I say it's safe to buy from Authentecite and Designer Addicts. I'm friends with the ones who own these businesses. Meanwhile, a friend is friends with the owner of Purse Podium so they're defo authentic as well

Be careful buying from ebay. Some of them really are authentic. However, there are horror stories of people using bait-and-switch. They would post photos of authentic bags then when you buy 'em they pull a switcheroo and send you a replica. A friend who authenticates Hermes also shared this story of someone who bought an birkin from somewhere. It was a reaaaaally good copy down to the hardware. Ioffer is a no-no. It's flooded with fakes there.

All I'm saying is just be wary of unscrupulous sellers. If the offer's too good to be true, then it probably is!
