There aren't any obvious red flags but there should be a pictures of the creed in the listing.

But I recommend that you do not buy from seller mrssolis. She is circumventing ebay fees by tacking her selling price to the shipping cost as well as cheating the charity to which her listing is donating. (In this case, the ASPCA will get 10 cents; 10% of the selling price of her bag.)

She also sold another of the same bag, again, ripping ebay and the charity of their fair shares.

I reported the seller for the excessive shipping fees. Hopefully eBay will end this listing.

1. Looks okay.

2. FAKE. Don't buy from jspproductions512. The seller also has a fake Coach wallet:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Coach...093?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0811ae3d

3. No red flags but picture of the creed is needed. There should be clearer pictures and more pictures.

4. FAKE.

5. FAKE. Seller annie4299 also has another fake Coach bag:
http://cgi.ebay.com/LARGE-BROWN-BEI...740?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c1a08fc24

Someone may want to look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-COACH-PURSE-/120695926820?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c1a09b024

Don't buy from annie4299 as she appears to mix authentic and fakes.

6. FAKE.

I don't have the bag and haven't examined it in person so I don't know what it looks like in person but based on the pictures in the listing, I am not comfortable reporting or whether it's fake.

Without a clear (macro) picture of the tag, creed, hardware, stitching, etc., it should NOT be reported unless someone else can confirm fakeness.

Thanks BB! Definitely won't be reporting anything without being 100% sure.

Item: Auth Black Leather Embossed Croc Sophia Coach NWT 15924
Listing number: 180638043731
Seller: premierjewelrylady
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180638043731&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Comments: I wanted to call attention to this hard to tell fake. I messaged the seller about the color of the lining, I have this bag and it's supposed to be purple and the hardware is not bright silver, and it has two hangtags, not one:

Me: Hi, I was wondering what color the lining is and if you have pictures of the inside of the bag. Thank you!

Her: Hi,

The inside is black satin and I don't have pictures. I couldn't get them to come out clear.
Thank you.

Here is the fake version from ioffer. Notice the black lining instead of the purple and the bright hardware. Unsuspecting buyers won't be able to tell this is a fake. http://www.ioffer.com/i/new-coach-embossed-crocodile-leather-handbags-women-bag-180601491

I have to agree with giagnm. The bag is fake. Not only does the listing and pictures show several red flags, there are several wrong details, some of which giagnm mentioned.

Compare the details of the fake 15924:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...FLs9iP8%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT

to this authentic listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Auth-Coach-Madi...007?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item56431082df

The hardware is supposed to be color code QB, which is a matte, dull gunmetal color, not shiny silver. I can make out the color code SV/BK on the fake's price tag.

The rivets are the wrong shape and size. Texture of the leather is off. Texture of leather on handles is wrong. Lining is supposed to be purple not black.

Some red flags:
- The hangtag has the wrong hangtag chain and is missing the metal tag.
- The seller mentions that "the price tag has been blacked out w/marker because it was purchased as a gift." That makes me wonder what other mistakes on the price tag the seller is trying to hide. Not to mention the gift comment.
- The "props" shown are a red flag.

Thanks starry! I knew something was up when the seller claimed the pictures of the inside did not come out. Seriously:rolleyes:? Just take more pics! When she said the inside was black, I suspected it was an iOffer fake. And the listing ended with some poor, unsuspecting soul buying it.

I'd really like to hear other opinions of that bag because it's a well-faked style and many of the fakes have (what appear to be) accurate/valid serial numbers on the creed.

The pictures in the listing might not be the seller's own and they look eerily similar to those I've seen on many websites that sell fakes so they don't make me feel comfortable.

I'm sorry I'm not much help.

Seller: london312

Comments: Which one will someone be receiving the first picture or second ??? >:(

And how can it never have been used but still be showing wear?

Off to report the fake in the second photo... since she says there's some wear on the STAINLESS part and the real one has brass-colored metal, not stainless, I'm assuming she's selling the fake.
