I saw that listing last week and although I've never seen it before, I don't see anything wrong with it. It might be MFF.

Thanks. The label proves it is MFF. If it is recent, then I would think a bunch of ebayers would be selling it. The design reminds me of the printed leather they are currently using in FP so I thought it might be new.

Seller: azsumerdys

Comments: I get confused on the vintage items, so I appreciate your thoughts on authenticity. Thanks in advance!

It looks good. Not vintage, though, being made in 2002.

Curious about this. If it is authentic, I wonder why I've never seen it before.

I can't answer that but it looks ok to me.

Let me know when you're done! I was watching that. It's authentic. Pretty color.

Lol! I think there is one more I am watching. I was travelling and put in my highest bids before I left in case I didn't get to wifi in time!

Thanks for your help whateve!

What is the procedure for asking for an authentication when one does not wish to disclose the ebay listing? Is it ok to post after it's closed, but before I pay (if I win the auction)? Thank you, ladies!

It is okay to post in the Coach forum after it is closed, but it might not be fair to the seller to do this. Since you enter into a contract to pay when you bid, if the item isn't authentic and isn't removed, if you don't pay, the seller could report you for nonpayment.

Other parts of tpf have different rules.

Ah, that's what I was afraid of. Only authenticators click the link then, please (lol).

I don't think the tag proves anything as far as whether it's made for full price or MFF. Often, they'll put "F" tags on full price items when they sell them at the outlet. Sometimes they leave the FP tags and other times they switch them out.

Here are a couple of examples I found in my own records. These aren't keychains but they do the same with them on occasion:

Yay! Thank you; now just to win it with no one overbidding me...

You're right, of course! I'm not used to seeing keychains with tags so I forgot.

Please authenticate I believe this bag to be fake. Carly Patchwork. Split ring, wrong color stitching, word spacing and the L4K prefix. Not an auction item.
