Yeah, eBay said the reviews weren't working at the moment, so I just ran a quick google search (because I'm impatient :biggrin:) and found it.

On Google (it's the second result): https://www.google.com/#q=six+salarea+vintage+coach+guides+ebay+hyacinth
The actual article: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Coach-Creeds-the-Basic-Facts-/10000000030821024/g.html

Then I clicked on SaleArea's profile to find the five remaining guides (conveniently located at the bottom of their page). :smile: But I see Hyacinth's already provided you with their direct links and you have them saved!

Yep, the problem is that the links I've been giving everyone for both Guides are now dead so a lot of people are going have to either try and find one that works or ask here for a functioning URL. And I'm still not sure if Ebay is done "fixing" stuff that wasn't broken. Their track record this month, between problems with Search and Paypal and heaven knows what else, is really the PITS. :annoyed:

At the moment, these seem to be working:
http://www.ebay.com/gsr/i.html?uid="salearea"
or
http://www.ebay.com/gsr/i.html?uid="salearea"&rmvSB=true

and for the Daria48 Fake Coach Serial Numbers Guides:
http://www.ebay.com/gsr/i.html?uid=%22daria48%22%
or
http://www.ebay.com/gsr/i.html?uid="daria48"

Hi everyone! It's been awhile and everything has changed!!!? Having a hard time navigating this new site :sad:

Could someone please check this wallet/clutch that I found at the local GW? I'm thinking it looks like maybe from the Bleeker line around 1999? Measures 4" x 5 1/2" x 1".IMG_1291.jpgIMG_1293.jpgIMG_1295.jpg

I don't think it's quite that old, and those aren't Bleecker colors. I think it's from around 2003-04 give or take a year or 2 either way, but it's such a generic style that there's nothing that points to any one line, my guess is based more on the colors than anything else. I seem to remember seeing them pretty regularly at the outlets. Maybe someone who has that exact style can ID it.

Oh lord....nothing to do on a friday night and a glass of wine (or two :biggrin:) and i won this......
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=30750745

I know know it is missing a strap :annoyed:.. but can i get some info on it??

I don't believe it is missing a strap. Although it is similar to the basic bag, I don't think this one has rings on the sides to attach a strap. This appears to be a slim clutch standard #9560 from the late 70s, early 80s.

Can someone look at this listing.....what is the bag made of??
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=30800040

It looks like it's made of nylon twill, but I don't have any saved information on the style or style number. Possibly a Metro Bag of some kind The only other # 6670 bag I can find, although similar, is supposed to be leather according to the listing but the listing could be wrong. The creed says "materials trimmed with leather" which means some kind of fabric. Here's the other 6670 bag with the same date and plant code, the seller describes it as leather but I can see the ribbed texture of Coach's nylon twill fabric:

Hi, I am totally new here, I bought a vintage coach messenger bag from a local yardsale site this morning(!) and it was so soft and comfy and amazing I decided to look up "vintage coach" and wow, I might be hooked! The messenger bag is too big for me as a purse, so I'd like to get a smaller bag. I found this ebay listing, seemed prudent to have someone here take a look since you all seem to know whats up!

Item: Authentic Coach 9951 Patricia Legacy Brown Leather Crossbody messenger Bag
Seller: 1busymomof4
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371664412976?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I suppose I should ask you to authenticate my yardsale find as well, but that will have to wait until I snap some pictures. Many thanks!
