Spotted fake items on ebay? Post them here. Better, let your fellow forumites know why they are not authentic.
I will go first. with some Hermes ties. Order from good fake to bad fake.
seller: getitnow0_6
brand: hermes (tie)
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171026861985
comment: Hermes tie never comes with material tag on the big blade (though some non-100%-silk comes with material tag on the small blade). This tie is a really good fake with everything else seems right. Note that the twill doesn't run from 5 to 11, but this is made to be a heavy-silk tie, so that twill direction is not a good indication for authenticity (or the lack of).

comment: These are made to be a silk twill tie, however, the twill runs nearly horizontally, instead of from 5 to 11. Furthermore, they both have the "material tags" on the big blade, which says... "made in Italy".

comment: this is the most popular fake out there, and also the worst of all fake. Just look at the lining on the blade and the tag, jebus!
