We really need to see a clear photo of the creed patch in order to authenticate a bag, and bidding on a listing without a good creed photo is never a good idea. Can you ask the seller for one?

BTW, I'm not sure what kind of "stain remover" the seller thinks will get rid of those stains on the back, but using most stain removers on a leather bag is NOT a good idea - you can take the color off and leave the stain there. Usually whatever marks or stains are on a bag when you buy it, they're going to be there for a long time.

I'm also wondering about the "brown tote" the seller just received Feedback for, and if it was just designer-inspired or if it was a ripoff of another brand - Aigner, maybe? Hard to say.

I asked her to post a pic of the creed.

That certainly looks like an Aigner tote. She currently has Tignanello and Stone Mountain bags listed.

Item: Coach Legacy Python Satchel New Rare Limited Edition

Listing number:24490602
Seller: wahmnow
Link: http://www.bonanza.com/booths/wahmnow/items/Coach_Legacy_Python_Satchel_New_Rare_Limited_Edition
Comments: IS THIS BAG REAL PYTHON ??? ... PER THE SELLER IT IS...
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EMBOSSED LEATHER TO ME

It looks like python or some sort of snakeskin to me, I can see several places where the edges of the scales are sticking up away from the rest of the bag.

More opinions would help.

Dear BeenBurned, StarryMaz and Hyacinth,

I have a basic question about a generalized rule/term. Not on a particular item, just something I've been noticing.

I saw something posted here to the effect that you cannot list an item on more than one website. Should I stay away from sellers that have "imported" items from ebay to Bonanza, and are selling on both sites? I'm unclear on the rules for that, as I THINK I read it in here, but as of late, I've become a forum junkie here, and may have read it in another thread. I just want to get it from the pros. I've seen 2 bags listed on both sites that I've missed out on, because I'm afraid to purchase. Please help your friendly, neighborhood newbie.

TIA

Reported! I was 99.9% sure it was a fake. I have been collecting Coach bags since 1994 and have developed an eye for the counterfeits. Thanks Hyacinth:smile:

eta: I noticed that the items sold before the auction ended (one sold for $102)...what happens now? Will the buyers be informed that they were duped?

I fixed your link for #3 because it was going to the same listing as #2.

All look okay.

It appears to be okay pending a picture of the creed.

It appears to be either Aigner or Aigner-inspired. It doesn't appear to be fake anything.
