Newbie opinion:
I think it's fake. The creed looks a little off (how some of the words are spread so far apart), and if you put in the style number (which looks like 6939 to me) on the drilldown, you get this:

At least your winning bid was only $10.50.

You are right, I noticed the creed and how it's not straight after I bid on it.
I emailed the seller to see if I can get out of it. Although it's only 21 bucks after shipping I don't want to pay for it because if it's fake, (which by the drilled down and creed it most likely is) I would never ever carry it.

Any help ladies? I knew I should have posted here before impulse bidding
eBay: CREAMY WHITE COACH LEGACY WITH FLAP & HANGTAG VG COND (item 330089067780 end time Feb-21-07 20:31:51 PST)
Click to expand...

This one was made before 1994 when the style numbers weren't included in the serial number, so the drilldown won't help. (Serial numbers of leather bags made in 1994 or later will usually have at least one letter included in the first three digits of the number, BTW, that's one way to tell if it was made before or after 1994)

It's probably not a Legacy Flap bag - it looks almost like a City Bag but the front pocket is different. But it's at least 14 years old and genuine.

The wide spacing between the words "scars, scratches, veins" appeared on a lot of the bags of that era - it's not always an indicator of a fake, especially on the older bags. The way the serial number is impressed is proof to me that it's genuine. The serial numbers were all hand-stamped and they used a small press with rotating wheels that they could advance to the next number in the series. Often numbers would be a bit uneven and a lot of times you can even see the edge of the next or previous number in the series, just like on this bag.

It's NOT a fake.

Authentic? And are these good deals for red leather carryalls? I would like a red one but haven't seen Coach do any red lately that I liked... What do you think?

#1: Probably authentic but need to see the creed.
#2: Authentic

I have this same purse and it's my favorite bag. :love: The price is slightly high... I got mine for $193.90, but the bag is kind of hard to find, so it's not way overpriced for Ebay. I got mine from an outlet, btw. Most of the ones I've seen on Ebay have gone for around $220. I'd try to make an offer and see what they say.

Bethy,
You have great taste then. :p How long ago did you find it at an outlet? I'm going to Vegas in a month, if they might have it there...
Otherwise, by "make an offer," do you mean just emailing the seller to see if they'll take something less?
Thanks!
Amy

Thank you for taking the time to write out all that and explain it to me =)
I just needed some reassurance before paying and you gave me that. I'll go ahead and send her payment.
Thanks again.

I absolutely love this color! Seen the black one at our outlet, but not this color. Look authentic ladies?
