I bought this for $130 used on eBay. Owner said it was 2 years old. I weeded out some fake ones on eBay, and what I noticed is that those sellers would misspell words & use incorrect grammar. This seller was very friendly, formatted & spelled correctly, and I have even been texting them (even encouraged me to take wallet to LV store to verify it's legit). Also, they have 100% Feedback on eBay, 30 from selling and 30 from buying, so they seem like they're not one to sell replicas. I've tried watching numerous videos/reading posts about authenticity.
Everything seems to match up for me except two things seem slightly off:
1) The design on the outside doesn't seem to edge up to the stitching. To counter this worry, I did watch youtube videos of legit ones that had the same thing and saw some pictures of the wallet online like that.
2) The logo on the inside of the wallet doesn't seem to be deeply engraved.
The seller offered a full refund before they shipped, so the fact that they're this willing to negotiate with me adds credibility to the authenticity. Also, I found the time code in the wallet, which was RA0072, translating to being made in France in July of 2002... That seems a bit odd (especially since the seller said he bought it 2 years ago). I appreciate any help, thank you!
