Seller beautifulthings78-us

The listing in question definitely has grooves on the back of the female part of the turnlock. Wait for other opinions on it.
According to my records, I've reported fakes from this seller several times in the last 3 years. I show reported fakes in January, 2014, September, 2015 and May, 2016.

Additionally, beautifulthings78 US also has this current fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...580462?hash=item3ad968162e:g:1OEAAOSwLEtYlk3l

and she sold this POS:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And this listing should be looked at:

Thank you. I started the seller name and then forgot.

Hi authenticators,

Could you please authenticate this backpack for me? I bought it at Goodwill yesterday and when Googling, it seems very rare.

Thanks so much!

I think it's fine. Other opinions are welcome.

Item: coach vintage turn lock clutch
link: Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252755602085
Seller: I've not seen this before. Back of the oval piece looks fake on my phone.

With these, there aren't a lot of details to confirm authenticity, so the details we do see mean a lot. I think it is fake. Besides the turnlock, the lozenge stamp is indistinct and possibly a little big. In most of these, it usually isn't on the bottom corner but up under the flap.

Wait for other opinions on this item and seller.

It's because of sellers like beautifulthings78-us that it's important (especially for history searches) so we can try to find info on how honest (or not) they are.

Here are some previous posts:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/page-1009#post-30267894
and Hall of Shame posts:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...-coach-fakes-here-824098-50.html#post25965547
and another:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...-coach-fakes-here-824098-50.html#post25965834
And regarding the listing to be looked at, the reason for my questioning it is because the serial number (both No. and serial prefix) don't look correct for plant in 1995. I don't believe this bag is authentic.
This is from the listing in question:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...556975?hash=item3ad967ba6f:g:WfkAAOSwUKxYlknb


And this bag was made a month after the bag from beautifulthings78-us was supposedly made:

Thanks! I thought so too but the lack of Google hits had me scared... Also I only tend to collect vintage so this is a bit out of the usual.

Re vintage, you're correct that it's not quite vintage yet but in just a year and a half, it will be vintage.

The red "Janice's Legacy" 252755556975 from beautifulthings78-us is fake. Bad strap construction with too-wide edging and silver hardware, base seam looks off-center, along with the bad serial font

Hey, BB, how does your snow situation look so far? Hope you're hunkered down with a good supply of bevvies and munchies. The Weather Channel guys are having a good time, at least, Cantore's even getting his thunder-snow. Wish it was us instead of you.



ETA - And they're forecasting the possibility of three more storms in the coming week. Maybe I'll get my wish after all.

Oh wow. That's sad. The buyer will probably never find out.

Speaking of questionable sellers.. holt-holt is back reselling that red bag the she doesn't show the serial numbers of.
SMH.
