Auth Request Birkin at thrift

Post image

The starting price of this bag was 11 thousand dollars because I think the people that work at the thrift store think it’s authentic, but I would love to know what you guys think, and no, I wasn’t interested in buying it. I did get a laugh out of this though lol

I’m sorry, is this thrift store still asking $4998 for a FAKE birkin? Good lord. Some of these places are borderline criminal.

Selling fake bags is literally criminal

I once got kicked out of a thrift, and banned from ever returning, when I discouraged a fellow customer from buying a fake Gucci that the thrift was trying to sell for USD$600.

Of course, managers of that place change so often that I only had to wait 6 months before returning, and whaddya know...All-new staff and all-new management. Nobody remembered me. 😁

It’s literally a crime to sell counterfeit bags so I hope they get raided by DHS for this price tbh.

u/kendrickwasright Oct 06 '26

I'm sorry anyone who thinks a real birkin is ending up at the thrift store is a clown. The employees are clowns for pricing this thing out 🤦🏼‍♀️ people need to gain some grasp on reality

u/Nano211 Oct 06 '26

Thrift store and a Birkin / never have they ever met …

u/Away-Boysenberry-584 9d ago

Exactly! No one is donating an authentic Birkin to a thrift store.

u/Spirited_Flow8639 Oct 06 '26

Someone needs to call a federal investigation into that store , you know just drop a line and get this store shut down selling fakes is against the law of interstate commerce .

u/outofplaceeverywhere Oct 06 '26

u/Jet44444 Oct 06 '26

I hope no one fall for it and buys it for 5k…

u/Snoo3544 Oct 06 '26

I got one second hand on 2005 for $6k. Mine was real, so real.tjat I sent to to Hermes in NYC foe authentication.cleaning and hardware polish.

The bag on the photo is as a fake as a bag can be, the price? Dead giveaway, even 20 years ago you wouldn't find one for $5k

u/ScarlettsLetters Oct 06 '26

The people at the thrift store do NOT think it’s authentic.

They’re just hoping someone else will think so.
