Hello hope everyone is staying healthy. I found a few pieces at my local GW and would appreciate very much authentication. The first is what I believe is a second, made in Costa Rica, top zip bleeker made in 2000 In buckskin? That is what I’ve gleaned from my reading and please correct anything I’ve got wrong. I do try to do the up front effort.
The bag measures 11.5” x 7” x 3.5”

The 2nd is a Legacy Rambler made in Costa Rica in 2000? It measures 9” x 7.75” x 3.5”

I saw this listing for a Legacy Zip on Etsy and wondered about the J country code? The seller has quite a history here.

Thank you so much for your time and expertise!!!

Seller: GutsyGirls

My personal opinion - I wouldn't buy from seller "GutsyGirls" if she was the last seller on earth. In fact, I'm not even going to authenticate it. Sorry.

BUT - just for the record...anyone who buys that POS has just thrown away $125. You're correct about the J plant code.

Feel free to report it.

Seller: GutsyGirls

Like much of the seller's history (Etsy: GutsyGirls, Ebay: debbieb208, and the following ebay suspended IDs:
gutsygirldebb-1, classiccottage7, marbrow_267), she still hasn't learned that she sells LOTS and LOTS of fakes, including the bang you've asked about.

ETA: Oops, I should have read ahead and ignored! But I agree with Hyacinth. Avoid GutsyGirls like the plague.

genuine.

Thank you so much, Hyacinth.

Genuine Bleecker Zip made in 2000. I don't know why you think it's a "second".

Genuine Rambler's Legacy

Probably genuine, newer fakes are much more accurate that the older ones and often require more photos. Also I don't have many files on bags made in the last 10 or 12 years and don't authenticate or identify them, one of the other authenticators can probably ID it.
