A friend at work is interested in this pair, and they look real to me, but *I* sure wouldn't want to steer her in the wrong direction:

Listing

The price seems too good to be true, but to me they look authentic. Let me know what you think!

can someone check this please? i bought it off of ebay, and just received it today. it looks good, but doesn't feel QUITE as silky as my other coach scarves. maybe because it's brand new. it's not that different, just a tiny bit scratchier than my other scarves. anyway, the sewn on tag matches perfectly to my other scarves. i'm just curious, and want to make sure i didn't get duped. here's the auction link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290339488277&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

this seller has sold at least three of this one style scarf, and uses the same pics for each. that could mean nothing...i just want to be safe if i ever try to sell it when im done with it. also, is it normal for scarves to come in the plastic wrapping like that? at the boutique they never come in wrapping, but when i order things from the website the keyfobs do.

It looks fine.

I've purchased scarves and they come from the manufacturer in a plastic bag. They take them from the bag when they put them on display, but sometimes you can request a new one packaged like that. (Usually there's also a white sticker attached to the plastic bag with the bar code, style name, number and color on the rectangular sticker.)

As for sellers using the same pictures for multiples of the same NWT items, that's not unusual.

She just emailed saying she sends Via Canada post, yet supposedly she's in the same city as me.

I'm thinking I am going to have to report this one to Kijiji, I smell bait and switch!!

Wait a sec!! Don't you think you're over-reacting a bit prematurely? Is there any reason for you to say that other than that someone thinks they saw the same pictures somewhere else?

ETA: I don't know whether those pictures are from authentic items. I'm not sure there are enough detailed pictures. I just think you're jumping to conclusions with no basis in fact that there's a "bait and switch" going on.

My friend also just told me the listing has been on and off Kijiji for a month now, she also emailed her when it was first listed and it was suddenly off Kijiji, and that she can't get a reply from the seller when she asks more questions, it's all adding up to be a little bit fishy.

Plus the whole name "Coach Frenzi" that the seller goes by. She also emailed back saying she's based in Manitoba ?? but advertises that the product is for sale in Edmonton.

I can't risk telling a co-worker "its ok" and then have it backfire, that's all. Ugh, I think its easier NOT to try to help! Too much stress.

Wait for other opinions before jumping to conclusions.

I have a friend at work that came to me all excited because she ordered a bag online from "Coach". I told her that she went to some fake website but she swears she got it from "COACH"!

I found what she bought.....

Those websites steal the Coach logos from Coach's own website and use "Coach" in their own name because they know that gullible buyers will be fooled.

Your friend will be getting a fake which, based on the prices on that site, will probably fall apart within weeks, has no real leather and is just plain junk.

Refer your friend here.

I just don't understand why she would even think she was on the Coach site. I've told her before that if she wants a bag, to tell me and I'll help her get it authenticated (here) or take her to the outlet (about 20 min away), but I guess she thought she was getting such a deal... :nono: She keeps saying "but I like the bag!" I guess some folks just don't get it.
