Can someone look at this auction for me? I already paid for it and currently have the purse so I can take pix as needed.

I ask for two reasons. The leather doesn't feel right. It feels almost like "pleather", light and thin. Is that because of the shine added to it? Second, the hangtag is attached to the exterior pocket zipper pull. Isn't it normally attached on top? I shrugged it off, but now it bothers me.

The bag itself looks fine to me. Isn't the hangtag that's currently attached to the zipper detachable? The owner may have just decided they wanted it on the zip-pull and moved it from the top to the zipper. As for the feel of the leather, it could be due to many reasons.. I have a bag of the same leather and agree that it's less "supple" as my other leather bags.

If you are still unsure, feel free to post some pictures of the bag you received!

It's hard to tell if that's a box in the background. It kind of looks like a gift card or something else. [EDIT: I see the seller has sold a gift card in ended auctions. I think that was a gift card in the pic.] You can see the same thing in the background of this auction:

BTW, Hyacinth, I came across this two-piece box in the seller's sold items. What do you think of this keychain?

It's really hard to tell. It seems ok but I wouldn't swear to any of the seller's keychains. The fakes in those styles are pretty good. (I think the box in the pic is from a wallet).

The Legacy Stripe Valet Keyfob seems like the silver borders between the color bands are sitting up a tiny bit too high over the surface of the enamel, at least when I compare it to this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...BC%2BP%2BS%2BIA&itu=IA%2BUCI%2BUA&otn=4&ps=10

I've seen a really close fake of the earlier Legacy Valet fob with the wider stripes and I know how close it was. That one also had the silver borders between the stripes looking just a tiny bit too high.

And looking at the Gift card pics in its own listing and comparing them to the pics in the Legacy Stripe Keyfob listing, the proportions of the Coach logo and the distance from the logo to the brown margins don't seem the same. The logo on the Gift Card looks slightly smaller and closer to the corner of the card. Maybe the seller used a different prop?

I'm not saying any of them are fake, just that I personally would have enough doubts to make me hit the back button. But then, I'm a VERY paranoid buyer. :D
