Could you please authenticate a few bags for me? First up:

Item: City Bag
Listing number: unclear
Seller: colbie12012 / eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254782612446
Comments: I purchased this bag on a whim - it seems Navy to me rather than black now that I have my hands on it. The only other City bag I have is from the late 90s, so I could be mistaken, but I was surprised by (1) the feel of the leather once I had it in my hands, and (2) that the strap is shorter than my other City bag.

I think this might be a blazer bag.
 
My spidey senses are going off for this bag - a tan Court. I can't find much about C7B being fake but it looks suspicious to me. Thoughts?

Seller: misshigelly
Your spidey sense is good! The bag is fake.

ETA: Avoid misshigelly!

She has this fake, with "Gives me huge LV vibes without being too in your face" in the description! I don't think so!

I haven't gone through others.
