As for what it's worth, you might want to search Ebay for Coach Beekman or Coach 5299 and see what else comes up, use the "Check titles and descriptions" link.

What it's worth is always up to the buyers - a used bag is worth only what someone's willing to pay for it.



I don't know what kind of lining it's supposed to have so it's hard to say. What do yu thing is wrong with the lining?

I thought it might be suede and it looks like a canvas.

That sounds right. I don't think Coach ever used suede for something like a computer bag, it would have showed wear and tear too easily. Some durable fabric like twill or canvas would have been a lot more practical if someone was sliding a computer in and out several times a day.

I cant find a similiar style or colors online, but maybe it is an older style.
It is a white shoulder bag, decent size, squarish. Small CC's, never seen one with small letters before. It also has a light blue liner and a pocket with buckle on the front.
Has anyone seen or owned a coach with this style?
Are the small CCs legit.

A lot of bags from a few years ago had small Cs, but so did some fakes.

We always need to see photos.

Thank you. I was not expecting an answer last night, I just happened to be up and saw the auction then. I just noticed that some poster after me had gotten an answer so I posted again as I do know that sometimes the requests get missed. I referenced the previous one so that I was transparent that I had posted it before. I don't think that my begging for an answer needs my knuckles rapped so badly. I have only ever asked for authentication 3 times and I apologize for my repeated request.

Thanks again.

Sorry if I sounded sharp, but we answer questions as we get to them, and if one of us doesn't know the answer we leave the question for someone who does. It's not like taking a little numbered ticket at the deli and getting served as your number comes up. If someone doesn't get an answer after almost a day, then it's time to consider Bumping your post - otherwise, just hang in there.

Just as an FYI, I've been a member of or watched all the best purse forums as well as some of the wannabes, and this Coach thread has the fastest answers, the largest number of responders and the responses are comparable in accuracy to the answers at Ebay's dedicated Shoes & Purses forum. (Their posters take the night off too.) If it's late at night and you MUST have an immediate answer you can ask over there, but chances are that you'll have to wait until morning there too. You need a valid Ebay ID to post:

When a question is posted late at night U.S. time, a certain amount of patience is expected - the posters here have school, jobs, and family, and those responsibilities come first. And we need our beauty sleep too. ;)

it is hard to tell, but it is goldish in color...p.s. sorry the pics are blurry but my camera sucks:D

Sorry, but it's counterfeit. With very few exceptions, bags with Signature Cs on the outside shouldn't have either a C pattern or the Logo Lozenge pattern on the lining.

I hope you can get a refund.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look...I paid very little for it so I might just keep it...it's still cute.

I emailed the girl and she wrote back telling me she got it as a gift and thought it was real. She seems nice. I've spent money on worse things before, I am sure!;)
