Business ProfileforEdna Louise Liquidations

On Friday January 27th, 2023 I attended an estate sale in Cheektowaga, NY held by Edna Louise Liquidations. I purchased 3 items from them that I believed were authentic designer items. The price I paid was $110 total plus tax. $50 for a “***** *******” wallet, $30 for a “****** & *****” purse and $30 for a “********” purse. I believed that these were authentic items because they all displayed the company logo and name on the products and there was no signage from the sellers stating that these were fakes. Additionally, I believed that it was illegal to knowingly sell or resell inauthentic brand name items, so I figured that these items must be real. Unfortunately, once I came home and was able to do further research and inspection of the wallet and bags I discovered that they were counterfeit items. I reached out to the company, Edna Louise, via Facebook messenger and asked if I could please return the items and receive a refund. They replied that I could not because the items were not authentic and were therefore priced accordingly. They advised that if the items were authentic they would have been $300-$500 each. I will attach these messages to the photo section below. Per this conversation, it is made obvious that the estate sale company knowingly sold these counterfeit items which I believe is not only illegal, but also very deceitful. I would like a refund for the three counterfeit items which I accidentally and unknowingly purchased believing they were authentic. Thank you.
