Apparently from threads I have read this seller bought this bag and has doubled the price to make buyers think that's what they go for when she really bought it for half that.

Here's a quote from a thread.

"IMHO, here is a prime example of why some people shoudl be banned. Remember a few weeks ago when we had a new member posting threads like "So upset I had to list my POND LEGACY BAG on EBAY" and other thinly veiled advertisements (that got her banned from tPF). Well, she also talked about how excited she was to be able to purchase a geranium pebbled leather legacy satchel from Coach 800 number since they were selling for so much on eBay. Guess what she did with that bag? Yup...for almost twice the MSRP. Here is the listing:"

I'm thyring to find the thread dedicated to this seller.

But yes it's real. She is just marking up the price because she is taking advantage of the "Limited Edition" term and tricking people.

You all have been sooo helpful! I've got another one I need help with since I'm still learning. I can't see the creed pics that well, but I'm hoping that I can get more pics to post.

The stitching on the third pic really worries me, it's pretty uneven for a Coach, even on the hangtag. And take a good look at the hangtag itself - are the two C's in different fonts? The first one looks like the trademark Coach C but the second one doesn't.

thanks, and the underside of the strap - should that stitching be black? shouldn't it be white?

OK lets stop bashing this person. Sure, she came here, broke the rules and posted links to her ebay auctions, and was banned. End of story, right?

So why do we keep needing to bash her in here? (this occured over in another thread too). She's just trying to make a buck.

Plenty of people here sell on ebay, and I'm sure profit is the main motivator? We wouldn't do it if we lost money, right?

This is capitalism plain and simple. She's not trying to TRICK anyone as you say. It IS limited edition. She has the right to set her price point anywhere she likes. If someone wants it that bad, they'll bid. End of story.

And before anyone asks - NO I don't know that person, never met them, not affiliated with them, never bought anythign from them, etc. Just a bystander.

Hello there....I got this cute pink tote as a gift but I'm not quite sure if it is authentic or not. (I don't want to be rude and ask the person that got it for me.)
I don't have actual pictures of the bag on hand but I attached pictures of one that is similar that I found on ebay.

The tote I have is blush in color, not this bright pink. And where in the picture it shows white-my bag has camel brown. There is a serial number inside the bag on a leather tag.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, so I took a closer look inside the bag and found *gasp* a tag that says *sniffle, sniffle* "Made in China"!!!!! wwwhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!:crybaby:

I cannot believe this garbage!!! Where is the nearest dumpster! Oh and I found out my friend got it from a friend who CLAIMS it came from Italy....yeah likely story. I'm sooooo embarassed. Nothing like walking around thinking it's real and it is far from. How humiliating! :cursing:


Thanks for all your help ladies!

no no no no no

most coach bags ARE made in China. even if it does turn out to be fake (I can't find the bag you're talking about), China has nothing to do with it. over 90% of autentic Coach is made in China

I agree with this
She was wrong to advertise her listings

But, what she's doing it legal, and if she can get someone to buy it for that much, good for her.

It's capitalism at its finest
