Nicely analyzed! It's a genuine Legacy West Demi Flap made in December 2002.

Comments: I saw a very cute Duffle Sac charm on a vintage Coach and decided to search for some. I got a brand new in the box Station Bag, later I found the Duffle Sac, and finally I found a seller that had the last two, so I bought them. Now that I have them all together, I see the difference on the last two, as the rings are smaller and the chains longer. I am not sure if these are real, or at the time were also faked, I normally do not pay attention to charms that much.

It looks fine. The seller seems to have the set.

A couple of weeks ago, the seller had 7 different listings, all for the station bag fob, all with the same pictures and claimed to have 7 of them. Ebay considered them to be duplicate listings and they were removed. (I find it hard to believe that he would have had 7 of them anyway.)

My concern with the seller is that some or all of the pictures may not be his/her own.

Backgrounds in listings are different and the catalog picture (with the brass daypack) was stolen from this seller's listing.

If you're the winner, I'd request a picture of the keychain with a piece of paper on which the seller has written his ID.

I only have the daypack currently. I've had the station bag and duffle. All of mine had a chain and ring like the station bag shown in your picture. I would be concerned that the chains are different and the rings are smaller. The ring attaching the daypack to the chain is awfully thin. It doesn't look like the daypack shown in the listing(stolen picture). They also look like they don't have the same sheen as the others.

In my experience, ebay has been the safest bidding platform to use. I bought a fake bag once and ebay took care of everything, I never had to deal with the seller. It's our responsibility as buyers to look at photos carefully and ask any questions before bidding as far as the condition of the bag is concerned. But if there is undisclosed damage or the bag turns out to be fake, ebay is very supportive of its buyers. Also, most if not all vintage bags are sold "as is" but many of the minor issues common on vintage bags can be easily fixed with a bath and conditioning. I always check auction photos for damaged leather, broken non-replaceable hardware, and stains. Those are hard problems to fix and I won't buy those bags. But normal wear from years of use (light scratches, mild discoloration of edges) often improves with a bath and conditioning.
