Hopefully I am posting this is the right place!
I've only just joined this forum, but am finding it very helpful (and fun!). I have long been an admirer of Coach bags but just started buying last year, on ebay. I really wish I'd found this forum back then! I've been reading the authenticity threads with a great deal of interest and try to check the knowledge that I've gleaned by looking at others' requests for authentication and seeing what I think, what I can discern, etc. But as I've read, I've had kind of this sinking feeling about some of the bags I bought off the bay.
I finally got brave and pulled out my collection last night...was looking to switch handbags for today anyhow. I swear, it was like opening Pandora's box! Luckily, I only had 2 bags that I was truly worried about, although I have realized from being here that I could easily be duped. It honestly never occured to me that someone with hundreds of 100% positive feedback scores could be selling fakes!
Anyhow, one of the bags that I was suspicious of I think is real, but old. The other, though... I remember when I received it and I was genuinely confused because I couldn't imagine that I would have knowingly bought something so ugly. I did think that maybe I had just been in my "Coachiemoon", where I was so dazzled with the experience that I was making foolish bids, and I tried carrying it once but didn't like the shape of it, either.
Now I'm wondering where I carried it and who saw me 'cause, land sakes, that thing is fugly. It's too late to take any action to get $$ back and I know I didn't spend much on it anyhow, but is there any way to retro my feedback, etc?
