Hi ladies, I could use some help with this, the seller has sent me about 30 pictures two different times at my request but they appear to be from her cell phone and are very low resolution. I don't think she's trying to hide anything; she told me the patent leather edging had some cracks and the corners had some wear, unfortunately I can't really see how bad it might be. Any advice you can give would be appreciated!

Item Name: Coach Tartan Tote 14367

starrymaz, the link to the listing is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170584633492&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Seller ID: ammiedones623

She has better photos for her other (doll) listings and even though she sent me many additional photos of the purse they were all poor quality. This is the reason I wanted to get opinions from you all. TIA

The pictures she sent you appear to be her own. I could only enlarge two of them. I don't see any red flags, but it would help to see clearer, larger pictures of the bag and of the creed. Personally, if I were thinking of buying, I would want to see how bad the wear on the corners is and the cracked patent edging. Seeing these may influence your decision on whether you'd want to buy considering the wear.

Comments: Creed number B0P-9134. Would anyone know the name of this bag? Also, she says there is a wrinkle in the leather - I assume from being stored improperly, does anyone know if it is possible to get the wrinkle out?

Both look ok. The first one is a Hippie Flap Bag from 2000 and the second is a Patricia's Legacy from 2001. As for the wrinkle, regular use and conditioning the leather every few months will make it less noticeable. Depending on where it is you can also try just folding it in the opposite direction, but don't pull it or put heavy pressure on it. Eventually most of the wrinkle will work itself out.

Giving the bag a full bath the way you'll find described in other Coach threads here can also help but that's probably not necessary unless the bag needs it since it takes at least several days to do it right. Searching here for "Coach bath" or "Coach rehab" will give you plenty of examples of how others have cleaned and rehabbed their classic leather bags:

You have nothing to lose by telling her that you'd like your shipping paid in both directions. Or perhaps you can offer to destroy and dispose of the fake since it's illegal for her to resell it anyway. Suggest that it will save both of you the hassle of paying for a return of an item that's illegal anyway.

I messaged her yesterday. No word at all from her now. I have opened a case. I know she's been online because she removed everything from her sell list except for some hair removal pads.

Comments:The pictures look kind of blurry to me and I am concerned about the virtually no wear on the corners. Does it look dyed? I have sent them a question about shipping to Canada and if it has been dyed and requested the full creed and a pic if possible.

Comments:

The box is fake and I think the charm is as well. The dogleash clip is too large and the wrong shape. S charm appears to be the wrong size and shape, and stitching is off. From what I can see the hangtag has the wrong enameling. Would like a second opinion. TIA.

It's fake. The box is fake, the clip is the wrong shape and size, the stitching is a mess and the grommet hole is in the wrong location.
