Because Instagram, Facebook and other private groups are difficult to track coupled with the fact that the bags you've purchased are very closely faked, I don't feel comfortable authenticating them.

The listings show just one picture of each item and the pictures are taken in the Coach outlet stores. Just because someone visited a store doesn't mean that that's where the bag came from.

I don't see red flags in the pictures of the items you've posted but that's as much as I feel comfortable saying.

IMO, sellers who want to portray themselves as honest sellers of authentic items need to take multiple pictures of the items they have in their possession and show the buyer (and authenticators) what they are peddling. Stock images and/or pictures taken in retail establishments prior to purchase tell us nothing.

Good morning! I have a few bags from my personal collection that I no longer use and it’s time for me pass them on and I’d like to have them authenticated prior to doing so. Thanks so much for your time with the many authentications you’ve provided me. :) Here’s the first of 2.
Item: Broadway Satchel?
Seller: my own collection
Measurements: Base is approximately 11.5” x 6”. Height is approximately 6.5”

I'm sorry but facebook doesn't help much. While there are (supposedly) packages shown and ready to ship, the pictures of the items are taken in stores. I don't know what type of stores they are, I can't read (nor bothered to translate) Malaysian and I don't want to tell you something is genuine when I just don't feel comfortable doing so.

The seller may be very honest and may sell authentic items but I just don't know him/her and can't say much more than I said earlier.

Item: Coach Brown Leather Shoulder/Hand Bag FREE SHIPPING
Listing number: 264427007911
Seller: rxc4613
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264427007911

Comments: I have yearned for a Legacy Thompson bag for a long time but they don't come up as frequently as some other bags, and when they do they are always expensive. So when I saw this one, in good condition and poorly listed, I decided to make an offer and I was pleased to get it for only $40 shipped!

I hesitated to buy it because it is missing the circular gold coach medallion and the whipstitch hangtag - and I always loved those details about the Thompsons - but I decided that it was the bag that I really wanted and so I went for it!

I believe that it is a Mahogany Legacy Thompson Julia Shoulder Bag 11376. I won't ask you to confirm that or to authenticate it because there isn't a picture of the creed, but if you see any red flags that I've missed, then I'd really appreciate your input. Thank you!

What a great find! I've always wanted one too.

Yep, and if you had a chance to read any of the posts at the Xfinity forum on the subject you'd see what I mean. All sorts of corporate BS and double-speak "Our customers watch an average of only 2 movies on TCM every month...", literally dozens of posts started and removed almost immediately - it was just amazing to watch. I kept track for about 3 weeks until almost all the posts, started as new threads most of the time, had been zapped back into their component electrons. TWENTY THREE PAGES of posts!
From here
https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Chann...-TURNER-CLASSIC-MOVIES-TO-SPORTS/td-p/3256093
to here
https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Chann...CLASSIC-MOVIES-TO-SPORTS/td-p/3256093/page/23
and heaven only knows how many that were removed. And of course the Comcast bots' infamous cheery canned response "Was your question answered? Mark a post as the Best Answer!"

I haven't seen anything likeit since I think it was 2006 when a massive flood of scammers slammed into Ebay as soon as Meg Whitman opened the gates to sellers from mainland China and suddenly the listings were full to bursting with things like LV and Chanel handbags for 99 dollars each, name brand high end sporting goods at all sorts of ridiculous prices and in obviously fraudulent listings, and several hundred more would appear every Thursday. We complained on the discussion board for 3 months and every single post on the subject of the Chinese scammers was deleted by Ebay. You could search the internet for weeks now and never find a hint of what happened. Many of us were staying up until 2 or 3AM from late Thursday to Saturday night reporting all that garbage and it took the geniuses at Ebay three months to figure out how to slow it down. It makes me sick just to think how many Ebayers received cheap fakes or had their credit card information stolen during those 3 months.

We watch at least one movie a night that I've recorded off TCM. I'm so happy we are on Dish. I hope they don't do anything like this.
