Hey guys- the beginner again :-/ sorry to bother you all, But I did give the lady the link to this page, and she sai that the bag is absolutly real. It was bought from the US and she paid $400 for it.... Is the ONLY way to tell the serial number? Because I have checked soooo many sites, and I cannot for the life of me find a single fault that would show that my purse is a fake :(

(also, I am awear that the OLD drilldown link doesn't work, but neither the butterfly purse that "Been Burned" Mentions or mine shows up on the new one...)

I do appreciate your style # list "Been Burned"... Im sorry if I'm being a pain, but maybe someoone else could give me another opinion- if its fake its fake (although its a very good copy!!) but im so sure its not.....

The leather is beautiful and the trimmings (thread and buckles etc... are flawless.)

(Have posted some pics I took now that I do have the bag )

The # agan is GO5K 3565.

Don't wanna upset you "Been burned" !

BeenBurned is right. The bag is absolutely fake. There are many things wrong with it - the style number is for a different style bag, the hardware, stitching, hangtag, creed are wrong.

I hope that the seller will refund you. She is welcome to come here and ask any questions. She may have been scammed herself, if she really paid $400 for this.

You're welcome! The third one looks fine from the pics. I'm not familiar with the seller and the seller doesn't have a history of selling Coach.

yea, I noticed that, the seller doesn't sell any other bags either, just random things. I trust it, but I'm gonna look into a little bit more, but I still might just bid on the first one. Thanks again!

Item: W@W! Coach Whiskey Legacy Leather Stripe Satchel 10330
Listing number:120578904810
Seller: socalynn
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/W-W-Coach-Whisk...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c131012ea
Comments: I bid on this bag before checking the authenticity because I absolutely love it!! I am concerned about the authenticity because the silk lining inside the bag seems to be shifted/or lined up differently with the creed than the other listing of the same bag (which I assume is real as it has 14 bids and I am the only one that bid on mine). Any advice or input will be much appreciated, thanks so much for your help!!

It's fine. The placement of the stripes on the Legacy Stripe lining may vary from bag to bag because of where the piece of fabric was cut and sewn in each bag.

It looks good, though a picture of the creed should be shown. This is from the Resort line from a couple of years ago.

Has anyone purchased a Coach bag from coachbagsmart.com? After purchasing an item, I thought the transaction seemed a bit fishy. Does anyone have any experience with this site?

Any time ANY site steals Coach's copyrighted photos from their website, you can be absolutely sure that they're selling fakes. ONLY authorized sellers like the large stores Coach Lover Too mentioned are allowed to use Coach's pics. This website is just thrown together with stolen pics and Copy&Paste bits and pieces like this on the Contact page:
"Contact Us Sample Text ...

This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.

To remove this section of the text, delete it from the Define Pages Editor."

NOT a sign of a professional business!

Neither is something like this:

"For the discount cheap Coach handbags: We offer Free Shipping to all over the world,no tax!

Coach is very popular in the U.S. market, which is popular the longest and most successful brands of leather.Coach on behalf of the most acclaimed American fashion innovative style and traditional practices.Coach's durable quality and exquisite workmanship has a good reputation in the female consumer."

Any LEGITIMATE site will give a location, a mailing address. and valid contact information. Gmail and Hotmail addys are a big red flag.

DID you pay with a credit card? If you can cancel the charge, do it NOW and tell your CC company you want to change your account number and cancel the old one. Trusting any unknown, unverified site with your credit card info is really dangerous.

Apparently a thread was merged into the Authenticate This Coach thread, which I wish they wouldn't do since it messes up the chronology of the replies from the thread and makes it hard to find the responses from the original thread. I've quoted the OP's original post so hopefully she'll see the response to her post.

Sigh... thanks. That's what I suspected. This is the second knockoff I've received this week, as well as two authentic but badly misrepresented bags. Grrrr.
I appreciate your time!

Do NOT eat the loss! Tell those sellers you want refunds. They were supposed to make sure that items were authentic before listing. Please let them know you aren't happy. And file disputes!
