I believe it was in 2004 that they added the zero to the serial number for 2004. (Hyacinth can explain the dates better than I can.)

The month codes are:
A = January
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
J = September (They don't use "I" for a month code because it's too easily confused "1" although there have been a few instances where I has been seen)
K = October
L = November
M = December

i would not have bid on this. The only picture of the bag is a stock photo and you can bet that the bag you will receive will be fake. I hope you didn't win this. This seller sells fakes. This seller, sheik007_2008 and her other id meemu0502, was previously reported on 7/1/09 for selling fake coach.

If you won this, i hope you didn't pay yet. If you did pay, please ask the seller for a full refund asap.

In the future, please use the format in post #1 as this will help with searching to see if an item or a seller has been ask about. It will also help in a case like this to check out the seller's other items.

Ooh, posts like this get me so angry! Sellers like that get to me. It doesn't matter that she thought it was real. Clearly it wasn't and as a seller, it was her responsibility to have it authenticated before she listed.

And it's really too bad you can't neg her now that the listing has poofed.

In this case though, if I were you, I'd return it and let the seller know that you will be watching to make sure she doesn't relist it. If you keep it, the seller profits by getting to keep your payment and even though she's a scammer, she'd be the "winner" in this instance.

If you return it, you should get a full refund of your initial purchase price plus shipping. Only return shipping (with mandatory delivery confirmation) should be your out-of-pocket expense. I'm not sure I've ever heard of Paypal deducting a portion of a refund based on "condition" when a counterfeit item is involved.

Please post a link to the seller's items (or feedback page) so we can watch to make sure she doesn't have more fakes.

I'm sorry you got a carpy seller who, even after getting caught, isn't doing the honorable thing.

Thanks for your support! The email I got from paypal said my refund was pending on the item being in the same condition it was in when she sent it, so she could be a real jerk & say it wasn't, that's part of my fear. I'll send it back though that way I can move on from it. Her seller id is lainaroma25 I don't think I'll forget that name anytime soon! But I'll post a link too so it's easier, I almost hope there are some other fakes so she can be stopped! http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=lainaroma25&ftab=AllFeedback

Can anyone help me authenticate these? Also how do I tell if it is a factory bag (outlet?) Is it just from knowing the year that the bag was made, and if the number is for the wrong year it's a factory? (or a knockoff?)

Thanks, hope I used the correct format ;)
