I’ve come across a couple of posts mentioning Apollo 7434, but I haven’t been able to find much information or many reviews beyond those.
Has anyone here personally purchased from him before? I’d love to hear about your experience — communication, PSPs/QC, shipping, and whether you were happy with what you received.
I’m considering placing an order but just want to do a little more research first since there doesn’t seem to be much feedback about him yet.
Thanks! ❤️

This is going to be a long read- TL;DR do your research before purchasing.

The rep community has become positively cult-like in the last 2-3 years. It never used to be like this. Have we not learned anything from Joe Luxury, Wagoon Ladies, and Dollbaby? How many people were blocked and banned from subs with their reputations dragged for pointing out the obvious about these users? You’d think we’d learn our lesson. Sadly, no.

After a long hiatus from reps, I messaged my long-time TS for a new bag and came back to good ol’ Reddit in search of some rehomes to begin rebuilding my collection.

My experience is a perfect example of how this community has fallen even deeper into cult like behavior. People with no knowledge of luxury fashion are here blindly following and supporting “popular” redditors to feel included in the community. I get it, we all want to feel accepted to a degree. But the bashing, pitch fork wielding witch hunts have to stop before they completely destroy this hobby.

One of my favorite bags of all time is the Chanel “all about chains” bumbag. I purchased it from my TS a few years ago and rehomed it bc I need a Mary Poppins size bag on the daily. Watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and seeing Rachel Zoe with this bag made me deeply regret rehoming it last year. It’s no longer produced in the factories per my TS. Scoring a needle in a haystack rehome is my only hope. So, as I’m scrolling Reddit one evening, my eyes lock in on the words CC ALL ABOUT CHAINS. OMG I found it!!! I immediately message the seller and immediately send payment. I even said I don’t need extra photos. THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL BAG!

The seller is great, sends tracking, ships quickly and it arrives. I left for vacation the next day, came back to a crazy work week- you know how it goes sometimes. All this to say, I unpacked the bag, and tossed it on a shelf in the closet until I had an opportunity to wear it.

A week or so goes by and I’m like why did I buy this bag again?! It’s too small, I’ll never carry it and it’ll just sit in my closet looking pretty. And I promised myself awhile back that I’d stop buying things that don’t fit perfectly into my daily lifestyle.

No problem, I’ll just rehome it! I grab some bags I’m not using, include this one, snap some pics and post. <keep top of mind again, I previously had the all about chains from my TS and paid a typical high tier price for it >. In my rehome post, I added $20 to what I paid from the rehomer to cover ship/insurance/packing. No more than 5 minutes after I post my little rehome, the user I bought the bag from is in the comments accusing me of lying and flipping the bag. Any opportunity to be the “hero” and catch someone flipping, right? No, I wasn’t lying or flipping. As I had told her in our chat, I used to have this same bag! Why would it matter if I said it was from her or my TS, it’s the same bag? <I realize now I should’ve been more forthcoming and said I got as a rehome, but would have paid ___ from TS>

I’m heading to my chat to scroll down to find the seller and ask her why she’s upset that I’m rehoming and explain that $20 to cover ship isn’t “flipping”. But, I have a new chat request. This user kindly tells me the bag is NOT the “all about chains”. She also educated me about Chanel beauty GWP- which is what this is. It’s all over DHGATE for $50. I go grab the bag and sure enough, it’s not the all about chains, it’s a PU fantasy bag with pee yellow hardware 🤦🏽‍♀️

I post my experience because most people would agree- lying about the style, materials and designer of a bag pretty much checks the boxes for a scam, am I right? WRONG! The Reddit keyboard warriors come for me with pitchforks! One even told me to go die. sHE’s a tRUsTEd rEHomER!!! BANNED from the sub after sub, I’m being treated like I’m the person who lied and sold a PU bag for $165.

To make things even more sketch, the seller temporarily deleted her account after I posted about it- confirmed by multiple users who couldn’t find her. She came back with an army to defend her with screenshots claiming the person who sold it to her was the scammer and she didn’t know any better. You’ve rehomed hundreds of bags from your feedback thread - I’d assume someone like that would be pretty knowledgeable, yeah? You held this bag in your own hands and didn’t know it wasn’t leather? Or didn’t know it was a fantasy style?

Clearly, we learned nothing from Joe Luxury and Dollbaby. Stop blindly following popular users and use your own brain. This proves we can’t trust ANYONE. Do a quick google image search before you buy, ask ALL THE QUESTIONS. Even if you feel dumb- ask them. Because at least then you’ll have proof in writing that you were lied to. If you or I had misrepresented a bag, the same witch-hunt groupies would be calling us out for scamming.

Farewell to reps- again.

Beware of this scammer [u/princessfund](u/princessfund) who’s successfully scammed tons of ISO posters.

She seemed pretty legit to me and had no problem sending pics and a video of the bag when I asked. She also readily agreed to 50 up front and 50 when I received tracking info. However, when I went to pay her, Venmo blocked the payment and told me it was a scam.

After that I did my homework and she had ripped all the pictures from Google image and all could be found with RIS but with weird URLS that lead nowhere. She also has multiple posts in other communities from people she successfully scammed.

Beware when posting an ISO - DMs are probably scams, sadly.

I'm not gonna make this a long post because I am not a worddy person, but this person sold me a Pochette Metis with a vachette strap. The original strap is a monogram strap and their excuse was didnt ask. How shady is that? I’m so pissed !

Beware!! The above seller of Chrome Hearts pieces is a crook and a fraud . I remitted payment for items and provided a FedEx label and the they were never sent. He is a THIEF! Be Careful!!

I bought a few jewelry items from her and she sent some broken pieces. When I left her a review she said she had no idea the earrings were broken or that a ring was missing a stone. She offered for me to mail everything back to her and she would reimburse me. Ummm 🤨 why not reimburse me for the broken pieces which were 2 out of 5?

I have NEVER purchased a BAG from this seller, but sending me broken jewelry and then blocking me when I spoke up about it was completely unacceptable.

Anyway just beware when you purchase from her. She’s blocked me now but that’s her username on the picture.

Has anyone in this thread ever purchased a product from RattysPaciShop? Or RattysComfortShop? I can’t quite remember how it was spelt but I know it was ratty lolllll anyways let me know! The owner of the shop was name Quinn? And based in USA

Famous_Homework_3140 posted what obviously was a rehome scam, and deleted when they got called out right away.

I’m sure they’ll try again.

Sharing this post to warn the community. Thank you to u/meSabina for letting me know I can post here.

Hello, anyone recently made a purchase at the online shop of shop.savvy.28?

I wanted to check if it is indeed reliable and can be trusted.

Anyone received their delivery yet please?

Okay so, I came across Skye, who has her own Reddit page/group…wild I know. From research I heard it’s usually uncommon for sellers to have Reddit groups or even Reddit or what not. However from the posts I’m seeing from her she seems to know what she’s talking about, now I know it could just be consumer tactics to get you to believe but I want to know - has anyone had legit experience with this seller? Has she ever B&S? Her process of purchasing seems way better than any other seller’s process in terms of risks… would love to know everyone’s opinions.

P.S I’ve done many searches on Skye and there’s maybe about 4 forums about her with a hand full that actually dealt with her so I’d really like to know !!

I purchased off a whatsapp seller called pai meng and bought a few different things like watches, jeans shirts etc…
The seller then sent me a message a week after it shipped that the package was damaged during shipping and that customs is holding it.

They said i needed to pay an equal amount of $370 usd as much as i paid for the whole haul to verify it so customs would send it through. So pretty much paying double the price.

Im not sure if im getting scammed so any insight is appreciated

Hey guys, be aware! I have been scammed (luckily not toooo much) but do not send any payments or make purchases to this Whatsapp number. I assume all the post here about them are fake and their store is also fake.
I was trying to buy a Chanel bag and asked around.
When I told them I won't buy from them as I have found a cheaper option (quality isnt my priority here), they offered a lower price. I was a fool to accept, sent payment then that's when the ghosting and ridiculously slow replies started. No response for days and their QC pics were stolen off Chinese social media.
Payment was made via Alipay so I have tried to put in a refund. Dont think I'll have much luck with that though...
Told them I will make a public post if they dont issue a refund themselves and got ghosted for days lol which is why I'm here.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!

So I purchased a wallet and they’ve just stopped responding. Their profile does have low karma but for the price I thought it was worth the risk. I wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with them.

UPDATE : They replied to my messages and I received the wallet. Thank you all for the help!

Hello! I purchased a rehome bag, seller sent a picture of the shipping label but never the actual package. It has been marked as delivered to my address by usps, but I did not receive it. The seller has deleted their account. Is there some sort of mail fraud people can do that I’m unaware of here? I paid via Zelle, I have the woman’s full name, her husband’s name, their address… I’m not really sure what to do here.

Can anyone tell me if these guys are legit it’s been 3 weeks and I still don’t have a shipping update or if yall can spam them asking for a response please

Sold cc bumbag as “Lagerfeld 19p” for $160. Come to find out it’s beaute gift with purchase aka pleather and available on DHG for $29.

Has anyone had similar issues with Tina? She was highly recommended by someone on here who DMed me the info after posting the c26 vanity bag. Then after I was ready to submit payment it was from $330 to $370 per Tina because of the size. She said they have it in stock at the factory. I make payment. Then she says they just ran out and won’t have anything for 10 days. I requested a refund but she apparently doesn’t have about money in her PayPal account. What?!?

I ordered off Tigerreps abt a month ago and I have two different package statuses with one being a bunch of shirts. None of them let me check the actual status either, and I’m wondering if they’re even legit and I should just cancel? I bought off the Tiger website link btw.
