Could someone take a look at this site for me. I am trying to figure out if they are selling authentic or knock off items. Apparently the coach things are half price.

Since they only have one of each item my guess would be that they're probably items bought at the outlet. Most of those are about 18 months to 2 years old and went through the outlets a year ago. Or maybe they buy leftovers from department stores. The photos look ok from what I can see.

The bag in the pictures looks good, however this seller has several listings where she only uses a Coach stock photo. A seller with this many sales should know that there should be actual pictures of the items. No seller should be using stock pictures.

So I guess I should be leary and just avoid her......right?

Personally, I don't recommend buying from sellers who use stock photos. Not only is it copyright infringement, but it also speaks to the seller's integrity (or lack thereof). There's no telling what you'll end up getting in the listings that show only stock photos, and it makes me question the seller's honesty in her other listings.

I agree.

Clearly, the seller has a camera and takes good pictures. There's no other reason than laziness that she wouldn't photograph every item she sells.

If you do decide to purchase, fund the payment with a credit card just to be safe.

I asked for more pictures and she sent two lousy ones, here they are. She said she is not a photographer, but I don't see how these will help.

She needs to learn to use the macro function. She'd be amazed at the difference in the quality of the pictures.

I think the creed looks okay.

Thanks, I was having a debate over whether the site was selling legit items or not :)

Sometimes it's hard to tell because you don't know whether they steal pictures or if they're just a legit site (like Bonz, Etsy, or one of the many international blogspots) that buy authentic items at bargain prices and resell at small profits.
