Of course, there's a 100% chance that it's not, but math is fluid.
We used to have a member that would buy these items all the time. Then return them and call the sellers scammers. Not sure what he expected when paying pennies on the dollar for obvious fakes. Was insanely funny to read about though.

I have noticed many "respected" sellers have went the other way and used the words/phrases that let them bypass authentication.

EDIT: To add it isn't going to be authenticated because it is in Canada. In my personal experience even when the item says it will be authenticated it won't be if it is coming from another country.
