Is the listing still viewable? If completed, sometimes caches are available. Even if the listing isn't showing, the seller's ID and item number should be in your records. My guess is that this isn't the seller's only fake.

I am pretty sure its still viewable, I bought it less than 2 months ago. Its the first time I even bought from this seller and I paid over $100 for the bag too! If you want I can give you the item # so you can see if you can view it.. :smile1:

It's an authentic soft satchel from the Lightweights collection from around 1990. The dyes Coach used on this collection have a tendency to fade or wear off. You can post it in the rehab club http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-clubhouse/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club-833400-542.html#post28067747 for suggestions on how to restore it.

Yes!

In fact, post #1 of this thread (and all authentication request brand threads) tells the information that's needed for posting requests. The reason for this has multiple reasons.
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-889527.html#post27792584

First, it avoids the posting of multiple requests for the same listing since it's suggested that posters search item numbers and/or seller IDs to see if a listing has been authenticated already. Since the authenticators are volunteering their time and expertise, it saves them from not having to assess the same listing several times.

Another helpful reason for posting seller IDs is because although there are honest sellers who can made a legitimate honest error in not realizing their item is fake, there are others who are "serial fake-sellers" and repeatedly list and sell fakes without verifying that their items are authentic. Those repeat offenders are sellers who we don't recommend and searches of their IDs usually pulls up many instances where they were caught.

In the case of your bag, I think I can speak for all of us here when I say we'd love to see if that's a seller who has sold other fakes.
