Can we post images to authenticate items here? I'm honeslty not sure if that's allowed?

Seems to be a lot of posts for authenticating items here. Is that allowed?

If you post here to "authenticate" items, how do you know the "authenticator" knows anything more than you do?

What you see here is often a seller who doesn't know what he has and asks for help.

Depending on the category of item, there are posters who know various brands and items well enough to authenticate them. Although the authentication doesn't (usually) help in the case of a dispute, you can get accurate information.

You can also get advice on whether the purchase of a professional authentication COA is advised. 

After spending enough time reading the Fashion and Handbag boards, you'll learn who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't.
