There is absolutely NO WAY we can authenticate 20 25 !!! bags AT ONCE!!! If you're a reseller and want authentications in volume I suggest you use a FOR-PAY SERVICE and work out a volume discount.

Limit for new members is now three bags per post and no more than 2 posts at a time and we need every item to include ALL THE INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE READ ME POST AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE. I also personally require a readable copy of the seller's photo of the creed stamp and serial number to be included with every request.

Additional Rules are posted here:

Posts that don't follow the thread's posting rules can and will be ignored by the authenticators.

I am a buyer, i'd like to make sure I dont buy fake coach , Please help autenticate 3 ebay listings below :

1.Vintage Coach City Bag : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304577784490

2. wendie bag : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/303633603317

3. prairie : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/195261344057

thankyou

We aren't trying to be difficult but the required info is necessary both because we want to be able to give accurate authentication opinions and we need to make sure (esp. for online purchases and listings) that we're evaluating the correct listing.

Especially for ended listings that are so longer available, ebay sometimes redirects you to a completely different listing from a different seller and we need to make sure the listing that comes up is the one you want assessed. Knowing seller ID and item number help to verify that we're looking at the right item.
 
Hello everyone

I'm interested to by this bag but not sure of its authenticity even the seller claimed it is authentic. Here's the link:

Really appreciate your assessment/authentication.Thank you.
The link doesn't work.

When you repost, please refer to my post here for the information we need.

You are correct. "M" is supposed to be the correct code for December.

There are mistakes in which "I" was used as the month code as well as errors in which "N" was used as a month code.

Although I can't specifically recall fakes with "I" month codes, there have been fakes (as well as genuine bags) with "N" month codes.
You are awesome! Thank you, BeenBurned!

Genuine, the year code looks like 1999. I don't trust computers or cameras to show colors correctly so I don't try to guess them from photos. However, the month and year codes for February 1999 according to the Early Spring 1999 catalog seem to narrow it down to Bone.

Comments: I think this is a fake but before I notify them, I would like to validate. P is supposed to be for Costa Rica, right? Creed says US and I think this bag was new for the year 2000?

Correct, ANY J8P-serial prefix with a Made in the United States creed is fake. That style wasn't introduced until mid-2000.
