They are all authentic. The first one is #5230 Shoulder brief. The second one I have as a document case but the name is unverified. The last one I've never seen before.

Your guess is as good as mine! I suspect if she relists for a third time she still won't include those photos. She hasn't been eBaying for long, only since last July. Maybe that's part of it.

She's relisted for a fourth time and finally included the photos!

Can someone please authenticate when you have a moment? At this point I'm just more idly curious than anything else. Thank you in advance!

Item: "coach purse - Tan" (looks to be a medium Carly)
Seller: kriau_65

Item: Dark Brown Geometric Clutch w/Brass Hardware (Costa Rica, 1998)
Seller: Goodwill, $10
Dimensions: 10.5 wide, 5.5 high, 2.0 deep

Comments: The bag looks and feels right to me but I know that this style has been faked in the past and I don't know if "P" was a valid plant code for Costa Rica in 1998? Please take a look and give me your opinion, thank you!

Item: Terrace Bag in Cocoa, West End Lightweights, 4117 (USA, 1997, $206)
Seller: sisters_resale ($35, including dustbag)

Comments: The auction pictures were very poor and all I knew was that I had never seen a Coach bag like this before! But Whateve kindly identified the bag as a Terrace Bag 4117 and shared the attached catalog page. There was no clear picture of the creed in the auction so please review these better photos and give me an opinion about authenticity. The dimensions match the catalog description, thank you! I have posted a screenshot of the auction page.

The bag was smashed into an envelope but it is in better condition then I expected from the auction photos. The hangtag is clearly a replacement and I will have to try and find something more appropriate for this bag. It is stamped inside near the creed as though it was "rejected" or "defective" but I don't see a reason for the stamp - do you see any problems? Thanks again!

It's authentic. In the future, when there is a snap, we like to see the side that has all the writing on it. Your link doesn't work as it is to your purchases, which other people can't see. It actually showed me my purchases.
