The creed picture shown in the listing can't be from that bag. You need to ask the seller if she has a picture of the creed. The two tone variety is fairly rare. If authentic, it is a Madison Carlyle. The seller put the correct style number in the title.

It's a genuine Envelope Swing Wallet 4873 and is in my Spring 1996 catalog, so close enough.

Thanks, Hyacinth...does the catalog show an original MSRP...just curious

It was $102.

Thanks for the info...pretty nervy of the person selling a "new" one on ebay for $119.99...marked down from $129.99! I like my $9.99 price much better Yeah, the deals just keep comin' my way.

This is just my own personal opinion but TBH, I don't see a problem with someone trying to sell something for more than original retail and I (personally) don't think it's nervy.

I like deals as much as the next gal but when I find steals on items that I can't use and are HTF, I list for more than what I paid. And often, HTF items sell for several times what they originally cost. (See this listing as an example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Comic-Book-Key-Fob-Key-Ring-92088-Patent-Leather-w-Box-FREE-PRIORITY-Ship-/361206761510?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item541999c826&nma=true&si=djYlR%252ByZeaOpUFzxSaN6cAFmgtk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 )

We don't know when the seller bought the bag but if she purchased it new and paid full price, her $119 price might barely allow her to break even after ebay, paypal, etc.

Be honest. If and when you sell it and if the other sells for close to the $100+ she's looking for, would you sell yours for just $25?

Good evening, everyone. I hope someone can help with this listing:
COACH RUGBY STRIPE DUFFLE SAC navy / cream MSRP $328
400861217215
fgb818
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400861217215?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I'm hoping that this is yet another rugby stripe style. Just when I think I have a list of them, another seems to show up.

Thanks in advance for your help and your hard work.

It looks good.

Here's a previous listing from the seller for the same bag. In this listing, the title shows the full serial number but the creed is the same picture as the current one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COACH-purse-creed-patch-C6E-4401-/111574981818?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19fa631cba&nma=true&si=djYlR%252ByZeaOpUFzxSaN6cAFmgtk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

ETA: This is weird. She sold this one with that serial number but the picture of the creed in the listing isn't the same one as in the current listing. i know lighting and flash can make things look different but the colors don't even look alike!

I agree. There is nothing wrong with pricing an item at whatever a seller wants.

It looks good.

Thank you so much. My daughter is a fan of this style and I always keep an eye out for nice ones.

Hi everyone-- what a great read this evening! I'm jealous of the Mulberry bag from a couple of pages ago and intrigued by the 12345 bag. What a good fake! Waiting to see her post the listing and/or seller to see if it's from the Ph Islds. And that comic book key fob-- Yowza!

Here are a couple of finds from this weekend that i would love to have authenticated and correct names would be great too. TIA!

Item: Coach red leather....? F9D-9138
size: 8 1/4" x 5 1/4" x 2
Notes: Adhesive damage on the back Upside down ES stamped near creed patch.

Item: Coach Lady Bug Tote M04K-4439
size: 10" x 8"x 3 1/2"
Notes: several on ebay with all different names.

Odd. The creed in the Madison listing is from the briefcase. I wonder how she could make that mistake. That picture wasn't even used for her briefcase listing.

I know.....that's what's so strange!

Maybe in the vintage chat thread? Thanks!

I'd recommend posting in this thread. (Hold off for a while to see if there's a better suggestion on where to post):
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-re...-questions-faq-and-reference-info-158400.html

I received similar info with a bag. The mini catalogue was from 1976. I posted pics in the vintage chat thread. There's strictly no chat in the reference thread.

When I first went on eBay I couldn't figure out HTF. I thought it was a variation of WTF! PS it means hard to find.

I only recently worked out what HG meant!! Duh!
