Please do NOT state that bags are fake if you don't know!! That bag is absolutely authentic!

Too many people are too quick on the "report" button when someone calls a listing fake, whether it is fake or not.

Coach lovers,

Is this Sabrina authentic?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190324762900&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

The thing is, she has sold it 3 times, all with the same pictures in the listing, all with different prices.

Should I be concerned?

TIA!! :heart:

The bag in the pictures is authentic, but as you noted it's not the exact bag you'll be receiving. I do wish that the seller had updated the auction with new pictures of the actual bag because in this auction the seller states that the bag doesn't come with the tags, yet the pictures show a bag with price tag and packaging. Some buyers don't read the auction carefully and think they're getting the exact bag that's pictured.

We understand. It's always best not to use the word "fake" unless it really is. Sometimes newer or inexperienced posters will report it as a fake to Ebay just from seeing the word "fake", so we try to only use that word when it actually is. It sounds strange but sometimes people want to help report fakes and sometimes report things before waiting for other posters to confirm that it really IS fake.

That's one reason why we ask posters who don't know anything about the style or age of a Coach to wait for someone who's familiar with that style to give an opinion. Too many newer Coach buyers have never studied or even bothered looking at older Coaches and think that just because they've never seen an older bag or serial number and because it doesn't look like the bag they bought last week, or even because they personally don't like the style, that it must be fake. We're not saying that about you.

That Poppy bag is absolutely real though, and I can understand why the seller might have been disappointed in the bids it was getting. Those were very expensive when they were new.

I apologize for snapping at you. That wasn't my intention. Perhaps it was your choice of words but it seemed that even after the bag was confirmed as authentic, you stated that you thought it was fake. See the red below with your quote.

thank you very much,I just think it fake that's why they cancelled and I will ask her.

Hi Starry,

Thank you! :hugs: I also think that it'll not be the bag I'd be receiving because she has sold 3 times with the same pics. Judging from her FB, looks like all of the buyers are happy though. Do you think I should ask for the exact pics of the bag? I have been looking for a good deal on a berry/teal sabrina, and looks like she has plenty :p

Thanks a lot! :heart:

My apologies to you too, BeenBurned :p After reading a few pages back, I realized there's been some kind of uhm, events/drama? about the whole thing. When I read her post (joynjoy), I just thought it was just her English :D

I also don't really like it when a new member starts jumping in and authenticating bags. Not because I think they're inexpert, but it's just because I don't know them well enough, like there's no track-record to show that they really know what they're talking about. Anyway, now I'm just ranting. Anyway, you get what I mean :hugs:
