You might also want to include a link to the post I just added to the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List that we have saved here at tPF in the Saleare Guides thread, there are a few aadditional examples posted of different styles with the same fake serial number:

Just an update on that Goodwill/Entrupy Green Willis fake. I sent GW a message to let them know, informed them that Entrupy’s track record is poor to say the least & here’s the reply.
“Good Morning,
I just want to say thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. I have ended the auction and flagged the purse so that Entrupy can go back and reevaluate the bag.
Thank you again,
Have a good day!”
Hopefully GW stores will get tired of paying for a service that offers none!

Ok I hardly ever check out what this seller has for sale but this listing caught my eye and I'm calling BS on this "pre-creed" what looks to be a fake Everett to me. It has the
Bean bag Creed with no serial number!

Seller: ChixVTG
Comment: I also think the seller threw those paperworks in from another bag to sell the pre-serial pitch. Don't all the authentic pre-serial creeds say made in NYC?

Good catch!

Yes, it's fake. The Everett wasn't even introduced until late 1993 in that year's Holiday Preview catalog, which makes it 3 years too recent to have ever had a Bean Bag creed since those were ONLY found in a few genuine bags from late 1990 which is when the original Bean Bag accessories were made. The hangtag is a recent addition too, the color difference is obvious and it's the wrong shape for a 1990 OR a 1993 hangtag. The Made In The United States creeds weren't introduced until 1987-88.

And all genuine Everetts have serial numbers.

Unfortunately, if anyone reports it to Etsy they won't lift a finger to remove it. Let's hope that anyone who guys it can afford to lose 300 dollars.

Regarding the paperwork, I'm not even sure it comes with the bag. It looks like ChixVTG includes the same paperwork in most if not all her listings! <---- click to see! I can't imagine that she has paperwork for all those items.
