Hi Ladies,
Just got back to read responses, Was all settled down for a couple hours of shopping and got called away, oh well. So wasn't here to be embarrassed a few hours ago..
Absolutely did NOT NOTICE those grommets, so I am here to be embarrassed now, VERY embarrassing, they do kind of hit one between the eyes! (Oh no)
As for looking up the numbers, I don't think I've ever done that yet, maybe once when I was younger and eager. Too lazy for that. .
But thanks for replying and bearing with me, Hyacinth, and thanks Whateve. Good it got nicked considering how high it went.

"And get this, after I negotiated the price, the seller julesbbookie3 said she would see if there was cheaper way to ship and if so she would refund the difference. She ended up telling me she would put a $5 bill in the bag when it shipped. And she did!"

No way !!!!
That is an amazing story, and I still think that briefcase is one of the nicest I've seen and i would have paid what you did easily (a song for that). Wonder if it is a Lightweights.
Good deal, lucky you!!
(I have a Monterey hobo too!!!)

Yes way! Lol And as my niece would say, that wasn't a deal, it was a steal! And yes, I made sure to put the seller's name in the text of a post so if anyone does a search of her name before buying, it is here in print.

Genuine, probably from the Cambridge line. I can't see the spot you mentioned but the color may have worn off or transferred from something else so polishing wouldn't help, maybe color transfer from denim clothing. It's a small bag so keep that in mind.

ETA - I can't find an example of the same style, and I'd like to have one to compare this one to. It looks like the auction has ended but in case the seller re-lists please wait for whatever confirmation we can find (if any) before bidding.

EATA - seller just relisted
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coach-bag-/232360283168?

It seems to match the other one listed so I'm going to say Genuine.

Hi Hyacith, Thankyou. Would there be anyway I could sort the stain out? I do not want to purchase if I can't. Thankyou

Yep, the CC slots aren't the same proportions Coach uses, and the stamped Coach logo inside looks much too big and the letters don't look even. That stamp is DEFINITELY fake. The vertical (in the photo) slit in the checkbook holder isn't right either, Coach never used those at least not during any time period that would make it possible for it to have been bought with the bag.

I'll keep looking, but the wallet is giving off a strong Korea vibe.

After looking at the seller's recent Feedback, I'm not even going to authenticate that bag. Did you happen to check it?

THE SELLER HAS 9 NEGATIVES IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, AND FOUR OF THEM ARE FROM THE PAST MONTH, ALL FOR NON-SHIPMENT OF THE ITEMS AND NO REFUND. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND BUYING A NEWSPAPER FROM THIS SELLER, AND IF EBAY WASN'T SO BLASTED GREEDY THAT SELLER WOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED A MONTH AGO. No wonder they changed their ID in mid-May and went to mostly Private Feedback, which can be a big red flag. And did they REALLY think changing their ID was going to cover their tracks? And while I understand that people can have personal problems or illnesses or deaths in the family, sellers need a back-up system in place to handle their listings if they can't.

My advice? Run like Hell, and don't look back.
