Hi, all!

I've fallen in love with the new "rocker style" and plan on getting as many as the budget will allow -

But, on the hinky side - here's one that I can't seem to find anywhere but this listing - not inside Coach FP stores, outlets or Coach's website.

Pictures are fairly clear, except for the creed, of course!

Item: AUTH COACH Op Art Poppy Rocker Purple Shoulder Bag Tote
Number: 190522596013
Seller: tennisaznboi
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTH-COACH-Op-A...H_Handbags&hash=item2c5c081aad#ht_2955wt_1139

Anyone else seen this item anywhere? Any opinions>

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM tennisaznboi - S/HE SELLS FAKES.
The style number belongs to an all-leather bag, the detachable shoulder strap is a cheap piece of junk that doesn't even match the other strap or the rest of the bag, and the seller recently sold this tacky POS:

Does anyone know of fake scarf print cosmetic bags being sold? There's a lot on ebay and they are really cute but I'm afraid to bid and the Coach website doesn't sell them any longer. Anything I should look out for when buying those? I checked websites known to sell fakes and I didn't see any on there.

Thanks Hyacinth. If they are genuine the dimensions are off for the circle script one - assuming of course Coach only made one size. I have a Thompson slim tote that has the same tag, but that one 2" dia and its quite a heavy piece. I would love to get another but these look suspect to me. Shame because I really like the Miranda heart also :(

Please post the auctions you're interested in using the format requested in Post #1 on page 1 of this thread, but please don't ask about more than six per post. Thanks!

Personally, I'm not comfortable recommending seller tinybubbbles. Although the listings for the bags she sells appear to be okay, the hangtags and charms are at best authentic (if taken from genuine bags) and at worst fake (if the seller mixes fake charm listing with authentic items).

If the charms are fake, the TRS (top rated seller) is more misleading and untrusted than the newbies who list and sell all fake items. Some TRS build buyer trust and reputation hoping buyers won't notice that they mix fakes.

Or if the charms are authentic, it means that the seller either obtains them in illegitimate ways (i.e., stealing them from bags in stores) or the seller removes them from the bags she's selling and sells them separately. IMO, if an item comes with a charm or hangtag, it should be resold that way.

Either way, it's not a seller I would feel comfortable recommending.

When the scarf print bags were originally out, there were fakes. And although the counterfeiters put a lot of time into copying current styles, there's a good chance that they're still making fake scarf print bags or selling those they still have left over.

They all appear to be fine.

As for price, an item is worth what a willing buyer will pay for it. If a buyer wants an item badly enough, sometimes those items sell for higher than their original retail.

Search completed listings for the same styles and compare what they sold for. That should give you a good idea of the current market value.

I saw it but the newer bags aren't my specialty so please hang in there until someone can take a look. We've been a bit shorthanded recently so it can take a bit longer.
