:lol: Can you help with the ones I've been posting on the HOS, please?

For about 48 hours, my reports weren't even going through. Though I'd "send," the messages weren't in my sent folder. So of course, nothing was being removed! :annoyed:

At least you eventually get some action taken! Whenever I am shopping at my local Goodwill and I spot a fake bag I turn it in at the desk and they always take it and thank me for the information - and I've felt that I was doing a good deed.

Recently I found an obvious fake (it was plastic and peeling!) locked in their "special items" display cabinet and marked with a high price. I told them it was fake and the manager removed it and thanked me and I was happy. But the next time I stopped there the same bag was back onsale! It was out on the floor with the other bags and the price had been cut in half, but it was still being offered for sale.

I didn't protest, I figured "why bother?!" and left.

I will second Hyacinth's comment about not buying from Poshmark!

However I want to make a couple of comments, independent of what you decide to do with the bag.

1. If authentic, 32880 does seem to have been made in black. This listing on Japanese yahoo shows both black and red.

2. If authentic, the creed shown on the Japanese website also shows a "Mattel" reference on the creed:

3. The stitching on your bag's creed is considerably sloppier than the Japanese comp and the woven fabric on which it's placed is not cut properly along the grain:

4. "COACH" at the top of the creed is higher and closer to the edge than on the Japanese bag.
5. Side-by-side: Your POSHMARK fake on left. A comparison of the side-by-sides shows differences in the stamping, the weave of the fabric and the stitching.

Thank you for the additional points. Funny enough, the seller simply responded to say she was sorry I wasn't happy and agreed to refund, so I'm just waiting for Poshmark to send me a return label. I'm sure she'll sell it again, sadly.

This means she knows it's fake. Lol. I had bought a fake Dinky once on eBay and before I paid I noticed it wasn't Authentic. I asked to cancel order. The seller didn't put up any fight and cancelled my order immediately and relisted. [emoji849]

The duffel sac (seller birr2324) is fake. Among other things wrong, the bag is not style 9020 and N isn't a valid month code.

The second bag is authentic but not "vintage 80s" as described by the seller. It was made in 2002.
