Thanks, Mang0!

I think we can definitely recommend that members NOT buy from seller lynntx123

Do NOT buy any of these chopped, mangled keychains or "jewelry" from seller designeraccessories365

That's a "chop shop" keyring like almost every other one that seller has ever listed, and it CAN'T be listed and sold as a "Coach key chain" - it's a ripoff and a cheap remake from a disassembled 5-charm keychain. The entire keychain was at the oulets for less than what the seller is asking for one small charm and a clip.

Coach NEVER uses a single thin small charm as a separate purse charm. Here's the complete keychain:

Item: Small Hamptons Weekend tote?
Listing number: none

Comments: Found this at goodwill and would like to have it authenticated before I sell it. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much! I thought there was something off about it. Can it be reported? Would it still be copyright infringement?

Yes, because it can't be listed as a Coach keychain since Coach isn't the final manufacturer. Garbage like that has to be listed as "Coach charm on Coach clip".

Genuine Hamptons Twill Small Market Tote.

I couldn't really find a place to post something like this...

Selling of these items is illegal, right? Isn't anything promoting an illegal activity considered illegal as well?

It doesn't necessarily promote illegal activity but it's definitely fake and a violation of Coach's copyright & trademarks. They don't make lengths of fabric of ANY kind for sale, especially not cheap tacky vinyl.

I love how all the pictures are pretty clear.. and then the creed is very blurry. I wonder why they even bothered to put that picture on there.

I'm seeing this more and more now that pictures are free. It seems like some people take a batch of pictures and then upload them without looking at them first or narrowing it down to the best ones.

Sorry!! I didn't realize I used the wrong format! I was just so frustrated that day.

ETA - seller lynntx123 seems to have a habit of "borrowing" photos and auction texts. That's the one to avoid.

Thank you very much. I wondered why they shared the first photo too. Anyway, lynntx123 did not send creed and ended the listing. I found out that a small quantity of those bags are still available at 2 outlets so I will purchase from directly from them for much less $.

Send your buyer here. It looks good. Not sure they sell that alone or not but your buyer got an authentic item.


Ask for a feedback revision.
