I'm looking for a red station bag. There are currently 4 listed if you search based on that.

Seller: hal9000v3
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Purse-Red-Vintage-Leather-Handbag-Willis-Station-Bag-Hard-to-Find-/231477173244?
pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e51d5bfc

Seller: pollizettiarocks
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vintage-RED-Station-Willis-Purse-Crossbody-5130-Made-in-USA-/181649177343?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a4b227aff

Seller: 626386
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vintage-RED-Station-Willis-Purse-Crossbody-Serial-0557-302-USA-AWESOME-/131427033765?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e99a962a5

So my question is, is the second one really worth that much more than the other two that are listed for so much less? Am I missing something?

I got this bag today and something just doesn't seem right. There is no "made in tag"
The Creed and Serial is F1069-15731
I don't have an item number.
I'm trying really hard to learn how to work this forum ladies. I hope that I don't upset anyone.
The bag is Mahogany/Brass
Trying to upload photos but I can't seem to do that either.

If you purchased on ebay or another selling online site, you can post a link to the listing, seller ID, etc. as described in the first post on page one of the thread.

Without seeing pictures of the bag, I can't authenticate it but I just wanted to say that if authentic, that bag doesn't have a separate "made in" tag because the creed states where it was made.

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.

That's exactly like the one I just dunked. Leather is so soft but the color faded. I got the Leather CPR today so it's getting bathed again.
