Listing number: ayfZuGZHObb
Seller and site where listed: karoha_closet

Comments: I've been looking for a Kent bag in BT and this looks to be in great condition. It looks authentic but I'm not familiar with identifying the details for those made in 80's and early 90's. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving =)
Genuine, probably from 1993

Thank you!!

Question for Poshmark users: What does it mean when sellers list something as "COPY - ....."?

I always assumed it meant that they were admitting an item to be counterfeit but clearly, that's not what it means.

Anyone know?
I think it means a copy of another listing. The seller has another Not for sale listing of the same bag.

The seller said the original listing wasn't getting much attention so she made another one just recently. I don't like that idea but it worked. Not sure how long she had the original up though.
 
Aha! Thank you!

Why do they do that? Are they not able to revise a listing to add more pictures?

If you wanna re-list the item to bump it back to the top of the “just in” section on posh, you can go into the listing and click “copy listing” & it will recreate the same listing for you as if you just created it with “COPY” in the title. Your listing has to be atleast 2 months old before you can do a copy listing & bump it back to the top of the “just in” section. They changed it to combat the sellers abusing the feature by doing too many copy listings. Hope that made sense :)

I wasn’t aware of this feature and though it would be easier than deactivating the old one and make a new one, the Copy throws people off. I thought the seller intentionally knew she was selling a fake and letting potential buyers know.

You can remove it from the title by editing the listing. I usually use the feature for my listings that have sat around for a while because Im too lazy to delete & create a new listing. I just re-edit the title so it stops showing “copy” in it :smile:

eta: since it creates a new listing, when you delete the old one, you lose all the “likes” you had on the item, just an fyi

I think it’s a sample bag based on the creed.

eta: welp! Too late. Another watcher snatched up the seller’s offer.

Sorry you missed out! You can always buy first ask later.. anywho samples can't be authenticated. I asked Coach customer service and they won't confirm our deny or give any information about samples and how they are processed, where made etc.

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!

I messaged the seller to reach out if the sale fell through. The person who accepted was international, so their card was declined!

It’s now going to be mine!!! :panic: :yahoo: :yahoo:
