Could you authenticate a coach rogue 31- number RG 20135 (grey suede)
Thanks

Hi. Welcome to TPF.

We need pictures to authenticate any item. Particularly with the 1941 collection where the serial numbers on the creeds have no meaning and the fakes are very close, clear and detailed pictures are needed. See post #1 for the posting format.

I just spent a lot of money on 2 fobs, so I hope that I didn't make a mistake (or two!)

I haven't paid for the Mercari item yet because you pay when it ships, but the ebay item was BIN so I have paid for that one.

They look fine to me, but I know that these Penelope Flower Charms are hard to find and can be pricey so hopefully they are genuine and that I didn't pay too much.

I can't include the dimensions because I don't have the items yet. As always, I appreciate your expert opinions, thanks in advance!

Item: Penelope Daffodil Fob, 92466 MTI

So they are genuine and reasonably priced?! Thank you!

"Reasonably priced" is in the eye of the beholder. An item is worth a willing buyer will pay for it. Then prices can vary based on condition or even seller rep. If 2 sellers have the identical items in identical condition, a long time trusted seller can usually get more for her item than a newbie or one who doesn't have the history of the long-time seller.

(As an example, while buyers complain about Fashionphile's prices being higher than the competition, she's established herself as an honest seller of authentic LV, her pictures are clear and show everything, she's an easy seller to deal with offering easy returns and as such, she can get more than I could with the same item. This isn't to say I'd even try to compete with FP; just giving an example!)

That said, I don't think you were gouged.

Thanks! I was trying to find out how much they typically cost and I came across an old post by Hyacinth congratulating a TPFer about finding a Penelope flower fob "reasonably priced" but I couldn't see the price that had been paid - so I just hoped that mine were "reasonably priced" too!

I consider anything under $75 - $100 each "reasonable" for those charms. Mine were in about the same price range as yours allowing for inflation but that was back when there were more available.

Oops. Hyacinth has fast fingers!

That would have been my price range too. Although there are some fobs (fox, tiger, dragon) that you'll never see at $75-100.
