I don't recommend buying from princetonoutlet. Although some of the seller's pictures are stock photos, others are taken from blogs and other websites.

I don't believe that any of the seller's listings use her own pictures. There's no telling what you'll receive.

Thank you so much for your reply... I have been looking to buy this bag for a while and it looks like there is no other better version currently available on eBay. This seller seems to have very good feedback for other Coach products they've sold... I'm just not sure how to decide?

Personally, I wouldn't buy from a seller who doesn't do her own work. EVERY seller who wants a buyer to spend their hard-earned money should take the time to photograph their own items and write their own descriptions.

It's a lot easier to hit the back button before purchasing than it is to fight for a refund after the fact.

As for princetonoutlet's item, I cannot authenticate since I'm not seeing the actual item.

For instance, say you're looking for either a Willis 9927 or a Station Bag 5130 but you don't want a black one:

coach (willis,station,9927,5130) -black -blk

Advanced Search link, enter keywords (multiple requests in parentheses separated by commas - no spaces between), exclude words from search, In This Category -Clothing Shoes & Accessories, Search Including - Title and description, plus however else you want to narrow it down from the choices farther down the page

Once you figure it out, Searching for something specific gets a lot easier.

Thank you for referring me to this advanced search Hyacinth and the "how to" do the advanced search. I have been on Ebay for a long time and still have not known how to do what you taught me in less than a few minutes! :)

The style looks similar to a Coach style but the creed isn't legible and it's possible that the seller misread the serial number.

In order to authenticate, we need to see a picture of the actual creed patch. Please ask the seller to send a clear (macro) photo of the creed.

Sorry, but it's fake. One part of the creed reads "handcraftedin U.S.A
from the finest materials trimmed in genuine leather..." and aside from the run-together words, the fact that "K" is a Chinese plant code, the fact that the bag is supposed to be ALL leather, no creed has ever used "U.S.A" in the body of the creed statement. It may even say "hanscraftedin...", that letter doesn't even look like a D.

BTW, I posted that before I saw the larger photo of the creed :p

Nothing like a good magnifying glass... :cool:

And I'll say it again - NEVER BID ON A BAG WITHOUT A CLEAR READABLE PHOTO OF THE CREED STAMP.
