I saw the listing and didn't see anything that indicated that it was fake. I just wasn't sure enough to say it was authentic. The pictures in the wallet listing weren't detailed enough for me.

But you want to be careful about jumping to conclusions as you did because if someone sees your post, they may be unnecessarily scared away from the seller.

TBH, I've seen the seller's listings and haven't seen fakes.

The pictures weren't clear to me as well thats y I asked. I wasn't jumping to conclusions just wondering why it wasn't there no more no big deal. The seller also doesn't say they are authentic. Lots of people in this thread question authenticity and wonder if sellers sell fake items. That's why we are here. Anyway thanks for trying to help, sorry to bother.

Or maybe it was sold. On Bonanza, sold items no longer come up when you search for the original listing, you have to use a completely diferent method to find them. So just because a listing is no longer posted doesn't mean it was removed because it was fake. Also keep in mind that it's often impossible to figure out if something's real or fake from just one or two poor-quality photos, especially in the case of wallets.

As BeenBurned said, be careful about jumping to conclusions.

Whether or not a seller says something's authentic doesn't mean a darned thing. Every name-brand item is required to be vouched for as authentic by the seller. Some are, and some sellers of fakes simply lie. The word "authentic" in a listing proves absolutely nothing. Odds are that the more a seller emphasizes the word "authentic" the better chance the item has of being fake.

Item: Genuine Coach Fish Carryall Handbag-Excellent Condition
Listing number: 320671037320
Seller: samsara009

Definitely fake. Coach made a similar bag, but any time a full-size purse doesn't have any serial number under the creed, it's almost 100 percent sure to be fake.

And always READ the creed - this one says the bag is made of "completely natural glove-tanned cowhide". Any time the creed says something other than what the PREDOMINANT material of the bag is, that's another huge red flag.

Please report.

Two posts about the same style bag in a row - interesting. :D

The post right above yours shows what should be the same style in a different color, you may want to compare the two. The one you asked about is probably ok but the other poster's photos can give you an idea of the kind of photographic details we need to authenticate and ALSO the kind of details a careful buyer should insist on seeing before they bid on any bag they're not completely familiar with.

Previously-owned bags should show pictures of the bottom trim to show if the piping is worn, and of the interior to show any stains, pen marks, wads of gum, etc. And the creed patch always needs to be shown. If it's not in the listing and there's enough time before the end of the auction, the bidder should ask for a photo. The Equestrian Flap is an uncommon style to find, but it was sometimes faked so it always pays to be careful. I agree with DemRam that it seems to be ok but in the future remember that the more photos a seller posts, the easier it is to authenticate and assuming the bag is real, the safer it is to bid (although we've seen some wonderfully clear and detailed photos of some really nasty fakes too).

1- jcslil6pack - fake
2- gretalovesissac - very probably fake
3- esmerita - genuine, one of the Multi Cases
4- adryely121207 - fake
5- stevo1130poc6 - fake - a 5-digit style number from 2000???
6- corinescloset - fake - 1417 is an leather East-West Duffle, see my Fakes List
7- barbarabjd45 - YUCK. Those colors are ALWAYS fake

When you see -1417 in a bag that's NOT a leather East-West Duffle or -5659 in a bag that's NOT a Scribble Tote, you don't even need to ask us if it's fake or not. Just report the nasty thing and make it go away. :D
