I wouldn't buy from this seller for a number of reasons.

1.In the past, flyincoach has listed counterfeit Coach and Dooneys. (I don't know whether they sold to buyers but the fact is that she claims to be an expert yet has listed and purchased multiple fakes.)

2. She plagiarized another ebay member's post from the ebay boards which identified fake serial numbers and other details on identifying the differences between authentic and fake Coach bags. She had the nerve to post the other person's guide as her own!!

3. She has caused the dissolution of the ebay purse boards by reporting every post and thread in which fake bags were questioned and discussed.

4. She came to this forum, tried to recommend herself as an honest Coach seller and when told she couldn't recommend herself, she opened another ID and spammed hundreds of tPF'ers.

5. She has been posting on other forums denigrating both tPF and the ebay experts.

I would stay as far away from this seller as I can.

We DON'T recommend buying from that seller - she's been discussed here and at other forums before. Search the forums for her name:
http://forum.purseblog.com/search.php?searchid=13457860
http://forum.purseblog.com/search.php?searchid=13457804


and check her Feedback at Toolhaus.org:

She also sold a bag to a tPF'er that had been re-colored with white shoe polish.

I can't speak to the authenticity of this purse, however this seller is on my list as having listed counterfeit purses before. They purchased the counterfeit on their buying ID, which I can provide you if you PM me.

There has also been discussion that this seller uses dyes or shoe polish. I don't know if this is accurate, but if you see what she buys and the condition the items are in, then that they are listed, you would avoid this seller at all costs.

I think there was also some serious issues with this seller here, as well as on Ebay involving threats and compromising personal information obtained in transactions.

More reason to just look for another seller. :) I hope this helps. I love these ladies!

BB has been so helpful in guiding me in the right direction and Hyacinth saved me the aggravation of buying a fake. These gals are great! :D

This is your third time posting the question within the last hour.

Please be patient! We come here to look at listings on our own time. We have other things going on in our lives; families, work, housework, errands, etc.

We're doing you a favor to offer our opinions, but please don't get impatient when you don't get an answer right away. This isn't a job, we don't get any compensation.

If someone reads the post and isn't sure enough to give a definitive answer regarding authenticity, we don't respond. We wait and let someone else with more expertise in the specific product voice an opinion.

Personally, I'm not familiar enough with that style. I've never seen it but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not made.

All this seller's listings have a prop in the pictures that concerns me, though. Personally, I don't feel comfortable about the seller, whether the bag in question is authentic or not. JMHO.

I'm semi-familiar with the style, but I never recall that bag in particular, nor does the seller provide you with a clear picture of the creed (and I've never seen one of the silica packets in ANY of my Coach items).

I was sniped. I see others know about that seller too. She's also on another Ebay boards BBL - 2 IDs. For false Pay Pal claims, threats and malicious bidding.

Your information is correct. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

She also still reads these forums even though she's been banned, so anyone who uses the same ID here as on Ebay needs to block her buying IDs. You DON'T want her having access to any of your personal information or bidding on your auctions.
