Just wondering~

Am I safe in general buying a gallery patent tote? It has seemed like all the ones on ebay in blue or mahogany have been real, but I'm no expert.

It would be nice not to have to worry about fakes..

i would say, in general, that's a pretty safe bag. you can usually visually see the difference in true patent leather (as opposed to a plastic-y kind that most fakers would use).

I don't know much about that style, but it comes up on the drilldown, so I'd say you're pretty safe in buying it. It does say guaranteed authentic, so if it isn't, you'll be able to return it. I'd go for it.

The first two look good. The last one looks fake to me but am not a 100% sure. I dont know if the serial number is valid. If I were you, I wouldnt take the risk. Good luck bidding !

Since you're new, you should also start to make it a habit to check out the feedback of any seller you're thinking of buying from. Numbers don't tell the whole story - two sellers can have the same exact feedback percentage and have totally different ways of doing business. I always go to
Toolhaus.org
to check on my sellers' negatives and neutrals to see how they've dealt with other buyers. Copy and paste the seller's Ebay ID into the first box under "negative/neutral feedback" and select "received by" and you'll have the information right in front of you.

BTW, the third bag looks genuine - it's called a Waverly Bag. Remember that it's nine years old though and will show some wear.

The other two look ok at first glance, but again, you may want to read both sellers' feedback records at Toolhaus.org before deciding.

Hello everyone, This is my first post here. I just bought a Coach bag for my G/F for her birthday off of ebay and I want to make sure that it's authentic. I have taken several pictures and if anymore are needed, please let me know and I'll be happy to take them. For some reason, my camera seemed to put a little bit of a blue filter but you can still tell the colors.

The E-Bay auction is here
eBay: NWT COACH SIGNATURE LARGE BEADED TOTE 8K53 Khaki & Gold (item 130074711408 end time Feb-08-07 19:10:55 PST)

here are the pictures in low resolution
Index of /Coach/low qual

here are the same pictures in high resolution
Index of /Coach

I just want to make sure that I didn't get ripped off. Thanks for any help !
