Can someone check out this bag for me?
I recognize the style but don't know what it is.
I asked the seller for a photo of the creed and she says
that the serial number is H1071-15333 but I can't find any style number like that.
Seller: katesiegrist
auction: 231490091969
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EUC-Coach-L...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

the seller read the creed wrong. It is really 15339. It's a Kristin pleated satchel. It looks fine to me. More opinions are welcome.

Ok and the last one for now, and also the one I think is most problematic;

Item: Legacy Zip J8Y-9966
Measurements: 11"L x 9 or 9.5"H x 4.5"D
Comments: sketchy serial number, creed not centered, but quality leather, brass grommets, zipper all the way across the inside pocket.

Thanks so much to everyone for everything that you do on this forum!

I don't think it is authentic. We have never found proof that any bags with prefix J8Y are authentic. I think the pen pockets are too narrow. Most Legacy zips from this time period have metal zippers for the inside pocket.

I won this Coach Court Bag on eBay the other day. I think it is authentic, but I just wanted to make sure. Hopefully the listing is still viewable since the auction ended. The serial number is hard to read, but it is A82-9870.

Item: Coach 9870 Vintage Brown Leather Bag Crossbody Purse Shoulder Bag Handbag
Listing number: 381163298548
Seller: terrace_swing
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-9870-Vintage-Brown-Leather-Bag-Crossbody-Purse-Shoulder-Bag-Handbag-/381163298548?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=I1MzZLvZaj958Ae98u%252BJCSQEv08%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

The first one is genuine.

The second listing is by a seller who has one of the worst histories of customer dissatisfaction on Ebay, most for items Not As Described because of extreme rudeness, more problems than disclosed in the listing or nasty or strong odors. We don't recommend dealing with her.

Here's her Toolhaus record of Negs and Neutrals - unfortunately that list is so long that sometimes the full record won't even load completely before Toolhaus times out.

If you enter the seller's name into the Search either here or at the main Coach forum you'll find quite a few posts about this seller

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the info on both bags, and on the 2nd seller. Definitely staying far, far AWAY from that seller.

Thanks Whateve and Hyacinth! I've learned so much from youz :giggles: and this forum. Bummer about the Legacy Zip but I do remember seeing a post some time back about how wide the pen slots are supposed to be. I guess I was bound to get a bad apple eventually.
