Forget to add that I think they should be real since they're pre-owned items? Dun think anyone will sell 2ndhand fakes right? :)

Are you kidding? There are THOUSANDS of second-hand Coach fakes on Ebay, almost as many as new ones.

But that particular seller has never been known to sell fakes and is on my personal Trusted Sellers list. She's one of the best. Good luck!
 
My appologies to everyone for implying it was fake, that was not my intention, I was only doing a comparison and did reference the different style numbers. I thought that I made it clear that I am NOT an expert and am asking for advice myself, I was only making a comment. I didn't mean to offend anyone or affect the outcome of someones purchase or sale. I did mention to wait for an expert. These are all the things that us novices are learning about the bags. Sorry to upset anyone.

I'm looking at a wallet from a seller that only shows one photo. She stated she bought it on Ebay a few yrs ago. Didn't use it, so reselling it. She sent a pic of the bullseye to my email. But, she is selling a pair of "Coach shoes & a few other purses". All her other Coach stuff looks FAKE! All the C's on each piece completely match together on the top & bottom. (This is a sure sign of FAKE!!??? isn't it) The wallet seems auth! Please tell me what you girls think........it ends today! Thanks!!


It is really hard to give advice without seeing the items. Maybe if you post a link to this person's auction then that would be helpful.

I agree, we need to see photos of the wallet AND be able to look at the seller's other auctions.

Outlet stamps HAVE been faked, I've seen them. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "All the C's on each piece completely match together on the top & bottom" so we really need pictures.

Just remember, Anything a manufacturer can make, another manufacturer can fake. And counterfeiters ARE manufacturers.

No need for an apology, just remember to only compare bags that are the same style and have the same style number. And as I've said many times, not every genuine bag, wallet, keychain, whatever, is going to exactly match the picture in Coach's files. There's no quick easy way of saying something's real or fake using just one parameter or one basis of comparison, every authentication requires some knowledge of Coach's stitching, name stamps, colors, hardware, linings, price tags, creed patches including fonts, date and country codes, serial numbers, even spelling and punctuation and the wording on the creed itself.

And while I absolutely believe that 100 percent Feedback is no guarantee that the seller sells genuine items, there's a huge difference in the credibility of someone who's sold 30 items and someone who's sold 30 thousand and STILL managed to maintain a 100 percent rating - that's a very impressive accomplishment and unless a seller's really decided to go over to the Dark Side, you have to assume that they're doing a darned good job and giving good value for the money.
 
Would you help me to authenticate this coach bag please. The auction look good to me but when I received it. The strap is look weire... seem like not leather and the brown leather color does not match with my other coach bag.It is lighter . Here is the aucton:
