So far the only one I remember or that I've found in my files is the one below, style 1656, notice the different font. The one you asked about isn't one of Coach's trademarked fonts and the only time we saw it was on fakes. Another problem is that on the real one, the crystals should form a complete circle around the hole for the keyring chain. I don't remember any crystal colors except Clear.

Ugh! Another fake duck dinky! [emoji35]

Item: Coach Dr. Doodle dinky

Seller: y_us582

Comment: how do you check if a seller changed the seller ID? I think I have reported this seller before.

I'm pretty sure it's fake. Things I have noticed: incorrect serial number. No copyright Mattel on Creed. Missing number for limited edition. Should show # of 413.

I sent an offer before checking everything in the previous listing of this listing. The seller accepted with no negotiations! This made me suspicious. The Creed photo is blurry in the listing so I asked for a clear photo and the seller sent me a pic. The serial number is M1630-24120. While the style number is correct, this is a fall 2017 bag and not from 2016. There's another one listed for sale which I believe is authentic and it's numbered. It has Mattel on the Creed too.

AFAIK you can only check for old IDs if the seller has changed them on an existing account. Click on their Feedback number right after the seller ID, then click on View ID History on the Feedback page.

There's only the current name showing in this seller's " hexi_0 " ID history, showing the account was opened on August 18, 2017. If the seller simply opened a brand new account there may not be any way to check for an older ID, unless BeenBurned knows a few tricks I haven't heard of.

Some of the seller's other listings including Completed should be available on Google including Cached pages if needed, check for "ebay hexi_0"

Thanks! I will try from my PC. I don't have that option on the app.

Ugh this seller also sold this fake car/rexy bag! [emoji35] Can I still report the sold listing?

hexi-0 is selling the authentic bag. It's seller y-us582 who is selling the fakes.
 
@Hyacinth i asked the seller to send me a photo of the complete price tag on the blue Ramblers Legacy, now that I’ve paid for it because she said she had no idea that there are rare color ways in Coach bags (and had she known she would have sold the bag for more, which is precisely why I asked after paying and not before!)

Anyway, not sure how much help this will be without a call to CS to clarify....

Thank you. I thought the same. I also thought the enameling looked a little uneven. It's gone now.

Thanks for the photo! And now of course the question is, "What the (censored) is "LD"??? I looked through some older lists of color codes here at tPF and can't find any LD from that time period. The only name that makes sense to me is Light Denim, but I could be wrong. Except for those classic styles that were brough back in a handful of new colors for the outlets from around 2003 to 2005, I don't remember that exact color on any other bag although there were some posts here a few months ago about a similar color. It might be the same color as my China-made Willis from 2004 but that was bought used and didn't have a price tag tucked away anywhere, and believe me, I looked!

It definitely IS a rare color and has had us confused for years. So another mystery still lingers, we have just a hint now. But it's a great color and I hope you love it when you get it.

If anyone reading this has any suggestions or info, please let us know. :smile:

I have a bag that I believe to be a genuine Coach purse, however, I do not know the name of the purse. Please help me identify the attached bag.
Serial No. 048-5027.
Thanks in advance.
