Sorry! It didn’t even occur to me. Is it possible to delete a post. I would be happy to do so.

I feel bad now.


No problem. you can leave the post up, if the Mods decide to delete it, at least you'll know why.

Only the Mods or Admins can fully delete a post. The original poster can modify a post but only in the first 60 minutes AFAIR.

I’m really very sorry. Reading all these posts has made me paranoid about my flips.

Thank you again for all you do. I’m going to lay low a lurk for awhile.
 
Good evening,

I currently have three bags listed on eBay. These were listed before I was aware of the great work you do here.

Could you possibly authenticate these? All were purchased at Goodwill
Thank you!

Someone else will have to look at the Edie, #2
#2 looks fine also.
 
There's one currently on Ebay with a G0K- prefix, same color.

I don't have an exact name in my files either but since it's one of the early Girlies (see what I did there? :giggle: ) it was probably just something like Girlie * Leather Hobo.

This is why Girlies are hard to pin down, and this is just a partial list:

The key when using a serial number to search the internet or online selling sites for the same style item is to use only the style number part of the serial number. The serial's prefix is a collection of production codes that change frequently, using the prefix codes will limit a search ONLY to the same style made in the same month, year and plant. The majority of Coach bags' production is stretched out over multiple months and sometimes even multiple plants and years.
