Wow, really? The quality control is that poor...yikes. Perhaps I should look elsewhere for a wallet? I had my eye on a Kate Spade, but the problem is that I am very choosy and cannot seem to find a wallet I like with twelve cc slots!

I'm not familiar with Kate Spade, but don't worry too much about the Coaches. A trip to one of the outlets is always your best bet if you can manage it, but most of the wallets are very good quality.

And you probably already know that there are fake Kate Spades too, so nothing is really safe. Even basic brands like LeSportsac and Kipling are faked, though not so much with wallets.

Item: COACH Navy/Chocolate Signature BOOK/LUNCH Purse
Seller: sailingkylake
Item ID: 250725073348
Location: EBay

Ladies, can you let me know if you see any red flags with this one, because I've been looking for 2 days and can't find a darn thing wrong. Also in one of the photos I did notice a tiny glimpse of the YKK zipper.

This is completely NOT what I wanted for fall, but this is my purse soul mate! I would like to start bidding, and since I have not bought one purse in the last 10 days of combing EBAY my bank account is at the full mercy of this one....

Fake or Take?

Was wondering if this eBay seller is trustworthy? http://myworld.ebay.com/littlesomet...w==&refid=store&ssPageName=ADME:B:SEMK:US:USR
Wants to buy a coach wristlet from there but the price is relatively cheap so I'm doubtful of it's authenticity. Appreciate any advice given. Thks!

Hi, I'm a seller on Ebay as well. I checked out your link and I'm just a little concerned that this seller already has a store and has a feedback score of what was it 12? Although his feedback is 100% from the 12 who gave him feedback, it still seems fishy. It is my opinion that this seller changed his/her name as if to start over being he already has established a store. I could be wrong. Good luck!

In love, found no red flags, seller responded to my questions (This is NOT a model bag, it's the actual bag being sold). That has become one of my most frequent questions to sellers BTW... lol

Thanks ladies! I'm SOOOO close to my first Coach, and because of all of your knowledge and generosity I KNOW it's gonna be authentic.

Please guide me...

Fake or Take?

This seller has TONS of product for having 12 feedback, but in all fairness, I will give one possibility for it. Because of economic downturns, maybe they had a retail store and had to close it. Online is such an easy way to run a business...

Final answer... I wouldn't be buying anything from that seller for the reasons you mentioned, the feedback, and.... I don't like copied photos, or the original companies AD photos. I ask all my sellers two questions now, no matter what pictures they have posted

"Is the bag in the photos a model bag, or the bag we are bidding for?"
" Can you offer pictures of the actual bag you are selling?" (if they have AD photos of brand new bags)

I have also found it extremely helpful to add notes to each item I'm watching, your personal notes show up in the items box... very nice tool.

OK, I'll shut it now.... lol

I don't recommend buying from littlesomething4you.

There's no way to know whether the seller sells authentic items because she doesn't show any pictures of the actual items. All listings have just a single picture and that picture is a stolen stock photo from Coach.

Trustworthy sellers don't use other sellers' or designers' copyrighted material. They do their own work.


In the future, please post in the format requested here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-577470.html#post14912099

It's FAKE.

The seller already sold the same fake a few days ago. Hmmm.

Also did not have a creed inside, when i saw the inside I almost passed out looking at that small funny looking "tag" or we/ you'd call it. I sure am learning a lot here!

It does appear to have a creed but I can't tell whether the creed has a serial number or not.

Keep in mind that some of Coach's smaller accessories and pouches may or may not have creeds and those that have creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

The bag is fine.

But please lose the "YKK zipper" notion! Not all Coach bags have YKK zippers and existence of a YKK zipper doesn't mean the bag is authentic.

Yes, as a seller and buyer it most important to show a picture of the actual product up for bid. I highly recommend this site for authenticating items in question. Submit a link of the item of interest and let the experts here decide for you. Before I post a purse in question, I come here to authenticate it first, I would never want to trick a buyer, it would only reflect negative feedback sending other buyers scurrying away. Good luck finding your coach, you may just stumble across one of mine.:D
