I thought I'd just copy and paste my PM and post here.

There has been that kind of speculation about MP for a long time. I do agree we cannot blindly trust all MPRS. I have personally caught some of them selling fakes, mispresent condition of the bags....etc. I think extreme caution has to be exercised when buying anything on Ebay. However I know a lot of bad publicity about MP was speculated by fake sellers and manufacturers. There used to be a forum years ago devoting fake LV's and they were trying everything they could to take MP down. Of course that site didn't last.
