Hi Hyachinth and BeenBurned, could you please take a look at this bag and help me authenticate it?
Item: Vintage Genuine Coach Tan Shoulder Bag
Number: 290549763147
Seller: gbh107shack
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290549763147&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123
I really like its color, but not many pics about details, also the seller's credit seems low... should I take the risk to bid it? Many thanks!
I'm not BeenBurned or Hyacinth BUT you only have 3 hours.
I would ask the seller for a clear photo of the creed. The pictures in the auction are not good enough to make ANY decision.
If you decide to bid without any more information...make sure you pay with a credit card and post photos when you receive the bag.
And my area of expertise isn't with the older classic bags.Sorry, DemRam, I am a newbie to tpf....
I asked the seller but he/she didn't response my email
DemRam, Hyacinth, NSP, Bunnymasseuse and a few others are considerably better than I with those bags.

Absolutely NO NEED to apologize. I don't respond very often cause I don't know that much!
I hope the seller responds with some more information before the auction is over.
It *could* be a perfectly good "Court Bag" (which is style number 9870) OR it could be another fake.
I've taken chances before so that's why I mentioned to pay with a credit card.
Good luck!
Thank you, DemRam!
I think I will pass it if the seller didn't response before it's over.

Hi DemRam, the seller just replied, he said the creed number is A0N-9870, but he is unable to upload more pics. I am asking him to send me some pics via email. Do you think this creed number is already fake?

I sold a vintage british tan Coach clutch on eBay. The buyer has requested a refund saying that they do not believe the bag to be authentic and that it is made of vinyl (or parts of it are). I refused a refund, as it is stated in my listing I do not accept returns and the bag is indeed authentic. Can someone please verify this for my buyer? I will send a link to this website where the buyer can read personal and professional opinions about their purchase. Photos are the same ones used in the listing. Thanks to all, it is much appreciated.

Perfectly authentic Style 9832 which is the "Turnlock Clutch".
What a terrible thing...to leave NEGATIVE feedback for a seller who sold an authentic bag? What the heck is wrong with these buyers?
I would be fighting that NEGATIVE with ebay.

Thank you, DemRam!
I am hoping I will get enough replies that the buyer will feel comfortable to willingly remove the feedback. Thanks for the name Turnlock Clutch. I looked all over and could not find the name for that bag. Prob because it is rare and not too many are out there. Thanks again and have a great day!

According to the feedback the buyer left, he 'thinks" it's a knockoff.Thank you, DemRam!
When buyers aren't familiar with the items they buy, they should KNOW what they're talking about when they accuse a seller of breaking the law!
I suspect that the buyer will find himself blocked from buying other Coach items unless he admits his error and revises the feedback.
Sheesh, with so many obvious fakes on ebay, it's sinful to go after an honest one.
Wow! They can block the buyer from bidding on Coach items?!?! Learn something new everyday... Thanks for the confirmation. I have really great feedback and would hate to see it tarnished over something like this.
I believe that a4maseli is the picture thief.
In fact, a4maseli has listings for some Coach scarves. The listing shows a watermark indicating that it was stolen from a Japanese website.
a4maseli listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-MENS-...20813?pt=US_Scarves_Wraps&hash=item336612810d
Another listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-WOOL-...74550?pt=US_Scarves_Wraps&hash=item3366028a16
Pictures stolen from: http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/fashion-labo/index.html
In fact, I don't recommed buying from a4maseli because most (if not all) the seller's listings use stolen pictures, many stolen copyrighted stock photos.

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this kind of nonsense. Why in the WORLD don't some buyers make an effort to understand what they're buying?
There's NOTHING wrong with that clutch - genuine and with a GENUINE outlet stamp that was NOT faked back in the 1990s.
Here are a few photos of another one with a 1997 serial number I found and saved a while back, along with a scan of Coach's Spring 1997 catalog page 41 showing your EXACT clutch.
Hope this helps.
(BTW, I've been researching Coach and Coach fakes for 5 or 6 years now and that turnlock with the squared-off ends was only used by Coach for about 2 or 3 years starting in 1997, and I've NEVER seen that copied on fakes. The turnlock and detailing in the turnlock tab, and the stamping of the creed statement is absolute proof that yours is genuine.)

Thank you so much! Do you mind if I copy your scan of the '97 Coach catalog and send it to the buyer? Might come in handy if the buyer opens a case against me too. I sent the buyer a link here, but I can not be sure the buyer will take a look.
