Please post in the format requested in the first post of the thread. We want to be able to have scamming sellers exposed when their IDs are searched.

Do not buy from albercoachshop2001. The keychain you've asked about is fake as are her other current and completed listings.

http://completed.shop.ebay.com/albe...omplete=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3911.c0.m283&_rdc=1

This seller has sold a slew of fake Coach keychains. And I doubt that the Gucci cases are authentic.

I don't see any problems but other opinions are welcome.

One thing that bothers me about this seller is that in some of her listings, she uses either stock photos or "borrowed" photos as the gallery pic. Obviously, the seller has a camera and is able to take pictures so there's no need to steal pictures from other sources.

Examples:
This listing uses a gallery picture that is not the seller's own:
http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-HERITAGE-...630?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf40364de

And several other completed listings use stock photos as the gallery picture:

Shoot. I knew as soon as I clicked the buy button I shoulda come here first. I'd never seen that bag and was just clicking away without even thinking. I hope it's real. Have you ever seen that style/color combo before?

I don't think you need to worry. The listing you bought appears to have all her own pictures, and as I said, I don't see any problems with that listing or the items.

I was just commenting on her other listings with the use of pictures that don't belong to her.

Again, wait for other opinions on the blue bag and wallet.

I recently purchased this Coach bag and would like help with authentication. I have not listed it for sale on eBay yet so I am including plenty of pics. I think I read the registration number as G4C-9931. However, the 9931's I saw on line looked like a zipper bag not like this one. My bag looks real to me but what do I know? lol. Please help. Thanks so much.

I just thought this might help. I looked again at the Registration number and I think it is C4C 9931 not G4C. Also, if it will help, I purchased the bag on ebay from "melytin". It was in a lot that contained a mixture of bags, Coach, Dooney Bourke & Brighton. If you need to see the link from where I bought them, let me know. However, the pics in that link are small and I doubt they'd help much. However, I thought the seller's name might help.

Thanks again for any help you can give me.

and the reason I came to this thread:

Item: Rare Vintage Coach Periwinkle Leather Top Handle Bag
Item Number: 150539705645
Seller: eclectic57
Link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Rare-Vintage-Coa...WH_Handbags&hash=item230cdd9d2d#ht_2856wt_932

- The color seems suspect to me.

That color has shown up in some fakes, in fact I found one when I started buying Coach on Ebay. This one's genuine though, Periwinkle was a legitimate color for 1997 for Winnie Bags and quite a few other styles.

The first digit really isn't important since it's just the month code. That style can't be a 9931 since that number belongs to a top zipper bag with a curved top and front pocket. Actually in the pic you posted the style number looks like -9927 which belongs only to a Willis Bag but which has shown up in a lot of fakes. I even checked -9937 and that's also a very different style without a turnlock. Style # -9921 doesn't match either. If you can get the numbers to come up better in a photo it would be interesting to see it.

The rivets at the ends of the straps and on the strap mounting tabs have never been used by Coach and the back of the turnlock isn't right.

I'm not comfortable with the way the creed in your bag is stamped either. The inside zipper pull and turnlock don't look quite right and the turnlock looks like all the brass has rubbed off and left a silver-colored base visible which shouldn't happen even on an older bag. I'd strongly advise against listing that bag, sorry.

EDITED TO ADD - Just saw your new creed photo and it's definitely fake. The size and font of "Coach Leatherware" is all wrong and the creed isn't right for that year. In fact, "Leatherware" looks more like LeatherWARS. You need to contact the seller and ask for a partial refund.

The C's in the Coach logo look more like Gs - another problem.
