Remember how I said I was done having you guys authenticate things? I lied! I really want a Carly, and then I'll finally be done with my "Coach Binge". What do you think of this one?

Listing: 160641549642
Seller: gus-toby09
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16064154964...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

Here are the creed photos the seller emailed to me:

Thanks!

It looks okay but I'm amazed that buyers bid and buy this seller's items. LIstings have one picture and it's not even a nice picture of a fully stuffed bag. The bags are lying on a flat surface.

There are no measurements, so description of the style, interior pockets, strap drop length, etc. All items are used yet there's no mention of indications of use such as scuffs, stains, etc.

If you buy the bag, use a credit card to fund the payment so you'll have recourse should the condition not be as expected.

Are any of you knowledgeable Coach lovers able to tell me if this is authentic? While I would prefer the large version of this bag (15410), it appears that the eggplant is very difficult to find!

It looks okay but the seller shouldn't be using Coach's stock photos in her listing. Also, there should be a picture of the creed.

The following editorial comments are my opinion but I feel it's necessary to express them.

As long as a seller has authentic items, I don't care whether they buy them from full priced stores, outlets, discounters, thrift shops, yard sales or other ebay sellers. In fact, I don't care if they're dumpster divers as long as the item is cleaned up enough to sell.

But these statements bother me because they're in all of guaranteed_authentic1's listings. The seller is not being honest.

WE WILL NEVER SELL FAKE DESIGNER BRANDS AND ALWAYS GUARANTEE OUR MERCHANDISE TO BE 100% AUTHENTIC!

EVERY DESIGNER ITEM IS PURCHASED BY OUR COMPANY, DIRECTLY, NO MIDDLE MAN ! THIS IS HOW WE CAN GUARANTEE EVERY PRODUCT'S AUTHENTICITY AND BRING THEM TO YOU AT SUCH DISCOUNTED PRICES !

They may buy some of their items directly from the designers but clearly, that's not where they all come from:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tic1&completed=1&all=1&rows=50&sort=10&_rdc=1

As an example, this item says it was purchased "directly:"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Op-Ar...384?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2a13a06200

Here's the purchase:

I have asked for a better picture of the creed, but wondered what you thought about this one.

In addition to the creed, please request clear closeups of the horse and carriage plaque and the hangtags.

I bought this used but I'm not sure if it's real. I have another bag from years ago and now I'm not sure about it either. I got it as a gift from my mom so I've always kept it. If it's fake, then she got fooled too. Anyway, I'm wondering if this one is real. Thanks :D

There should be a leather patch inside the bag, can you take clear photos with your camera's Macro setting of the patch and serial number and post them here? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your time, BeenBurned. I truly do appreciate the details you included. It is very helpful, especially for a completely inexperienced buyer in this arena. I will send a message to the seller to see if I can obtain a photo of the creed as well. I just have to decide if the smaller version (15409) is one I will be satisfied with. I just love this bag and I absolutely adore the color. Kicking myself for not ordering it last year!
