Is this too good to be true? I emailed the seller 4 days ago for pics inside and the creed when the price was $169. I got no response and they have since lowered the price twice to $125. This seems pretty cheap for a Legacy Mandy and they happen to have two.

IMO, it's too good to be true. Seller uses stock photo so there's no knowing what the buyer will get.

Completed listings seem to be too low also, especially with free shipping.

i agree that that answer is way too vague. the answers i got were much better/clearer. and the bag was authenticated on another forum as being a real bag-still don't want to put up with the hassle if the bag being sent out turns out to be different (i did notice another listing with the same photos for a bin of these bags). i've sold bags without tags tho...i might intend to keep them then buy myself a few more in a short period of time and decide to sell one or a few i don't really need (which obviously is not what this seller is doing, but just an example)...i've also heard of some outlets cutting tags off without asking-maybe that is the same case here? as to the hangtags i did look back through the sellers feedback and they did sell some hangtags (maybe they wanted to try to make a double profit? or they just recycled listings without changing wording?). i just think this seller looks more legit than those 2 (this seller has been active since 2007-started as a buyer then went to selling and buying...and not until around the holidays of 2008 started selling designer items based on feedback). i guess i'd just rather give this seller the benefit of the doubt that this seller is not one of the previous scammers.

My answer from the seller was snotty and snarky and it makes me even more suspicious.

My question: Why are your items all without tags?

Her response:It is what it is...that is how we get them (before they are tagged thru factory direct means). And that is why you can get a great buy.

I have little doubt that the "new" seller is Phenix/Fashionoulet.

I cannot comment on Authenticity, but this bag does exist. I just finished searching the Celebrity thread, because I swear there used to be a picture of it there. I couldn't find the picture there, but found it online. Now it is on the Celebrity thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/celebrities-and-coach-28725-135.html#post11106011 for comparison until you get an expert opinion.

Coach does NOT sell either TO or THROUGH "suppliers", at least not in the US.

Never even consider buying from anyone who can't show pictures of the inside and outside of the bag including the creed patch. If someone expects me to send him money based just on one lousy photo that isn't even of the actual bag I'm buying, I'd have to be pretty darned gullible. I don't care HOW many sellers use stock photos - they can get off their bloody lazy arses and take a few photos, or they can find another sucker to sell to.

BTW, Ebay's Rules CLEARLY state:
"You should avoid "borrowing" text or images (including photos) from other listings on eBay, a manufacturer's web site, product catalogs, or other sources without specific permission from the owner. Contrary to popular belief, simply because images and text may be found somewhere on the Internet does not necessarily mean that they are not protected by copyright laws. Copyright laws apply to the Internet, and manufacturers or other copyright owners may object to the use of text or images that they own or have created.
You should write your own descriptive text for your listing, and take your own photos."

Ask the seller for more photos, because not only does it show whether or not the pictures are actually his, but in 99.99 percent of cases we can't even try to authenticate a bag without the right photos.
