I did see that which made me go ahead and get authentication. I considered purchasing without authenticating considering her large amount of nice looking Coach bags she has listed, it just made me more trusting of her with the ambassador status (also don't know what that means other than maybe power seller?) So, she has had a fake and is also wishy-washy.
That is the silliest thing I've ever heard! If its pictured on the bag it goes with the bag! "I'm keeping the hangtag" get the **** outa here. You will find another riding bag, with its hangtag, for alot cheaper. Lol. Geez
 
Thank You Hyacinth, much appreciated. Can you advise in determining current value is preferred method doing a search for comps under name. Upon doing so what pops up with most frequency is canvas leather version and am trying to determine is that is indeed a comp for the leather one?

Search for comps using the style NUMBER, not the name. Coach re-uses the same style names on multiple items. The style number is the part of the serial number after the dash, usually 4 or 5 numbers or a number and letter combination.

Yes you're right and in fact I did move on one I'd been watching for a couple of weeks for a third of that lowest offer price WITH it's hangtag no less. *rolls eyes Granted it was not NYC but it did end a month long search for a solid black buckle riding bag. I'll find an NYC to use as a travel cosmetic bag. I get it though, sellers want and need to make a profit or we wouldn't be able to find these beautiful bags for our enjoyment. I just didn't care for the way that went down with the seller changing her mind on her own offer.

Good for you for not giving that woman your money. She didn't deserve your business!

Although the bag in question is authentic and whoever authenticated it (not stated in the listing) got it right on that one, I'm not comfortable with several other listings that claim to have been authenticated. BE CAREFUL if purchasing from gwncw !

Note: I haven't gone through all the listings so there may be more "authenticated" fakes.

Nah she lost the sale altogether. Excellent way to do business, lorac2015. ETA she offered me a price and I reoffered my lower price which was $5 lower, and she declined. Then I reoffered at her lowest offer and she declined it, so she had a change of heart and got lucky that I tried to stand at my lowest offer.

You did good!
