You’ve been there. A customer walks into your shop with a pristine Louis Vuitton Neverfull. It looks right. It feels right. But in the back of your mind, you’re thinking about those "superfakes" coming out of overseas factories that are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.

Let’s be real for a second. You’re running a business, whether it’s a high-volume resale shop like Plato’s Closet or a local pawnshop where every dollar counts. You’ve got a line at the counter, your phone is ringing, and a customer just dropped a "vintage" Gucci bag on the glass. Your gut says it’s real.…

You’re standing at the buy-counter of your resale shop. A customer drops a Louis Vuitton Neverfull in front of you. Your lead buyer takes a look, feels the canvas, checks the date code, and gives you a thumbs up. "Looks good to me," they say. But is it? In the world of high-volume resale, think…
