Thanks for the quick response.

Should I email her and ask for the serial number? What should I look for in the serial number? Or should I post it here?

Thanks again!

We need to see a picture of the creed with serial number. Just knowing the number doesn't help because the fakers often put valid numbers on fakes. It's the details of the creed, font, serial number, etc. that are needed to be seen.

Okay...thanks. Makes me suspicious when an experienced Coach seller does not make sure the creed is visible. Maybe I'll keep shopping.

Thanks for your help. Have a great week!

It's not necessarily a red flag. Some sellers just don't understand the importance of showing the creed.

But if they refuse to send the picture after a request from a buyer, that's a huge red flag.

This is the reply I received when I requested a photo of the creed.

"Hi. There is a photo of the creed on the listing, but I see that the lining seems to be inadvertently obscuring the numbers themselves. Oops! I absolutely guarantee that this bag is authentic--please see my PERFECT feedback record. You are protected both by my return policy--leave the tags on and return within 7 days-- and by the Paypal protection policy which covers all your purchases. Your satisfaction as to authenticity and condition is assured. If you still want me to take another photo, let me know. I am a very busy teacher in the middle of a huge fundraiser. I am afraid someone else might get this great bag before I can post another pic:) Thanks for looking! "

What do you guys think? She is correct...her feedback is amazing but why didn't she post a clear photo?

Should I keep shopping?

Thanks!

I don't see any red flags but other opinions, perhaps from someone who has the same bag and color, would help.

It's not necessary to post more than once. Sometimes, we see the request but don't respond if we don't feel comfortable or confident enough about the style. So we wait and hope someone else will chime in.

*sigh*

Sheesh, for a seller with 100 listings, to use her "other" job and fundraiser as an excuse for being too busy to get to the pictures rubs me the wrong way.

That said, the bag appears to be okay so if you do decide to purchase, fund the payment with a credit card when you make your paypal payment. It'll give you an extra layer of protection.

I hear your sigh.....rubs me wrong too. I am sure she is legit and the bag is more than likely real but I have gotten burned on eBay before and this makes me a little nervous. Urgh!!!

Thanks again for all your help. I do appreciate it.

...and in the time it took her to type up the excuses of why she didn't or couldn't get a proper picture, she could have just taken the picture and sent it to you :p
I don't get the whole excuse thing...if you have time to reply you obviously have time to snap a quick pic to send along.

Thank you :) Here is the information you requested: the bag measures about 9 inches across and 6 inches high.

Just 2 more questions. Does the strap detatch? And is there an open pocket at the very back of the bag that's behind the pocket that has the creed stamped on it?

None that I know of, unless someone else can identify it or find it in a catalog. I've seen similar styles before, just can't find them in any of my records.

The condition bothers me a bit too, the outside seems to be in very good condition although I wonder about the color being original.

*******
If it has been dyed, is it still considered authentic? and if it **were** a non-original color, does that reduce it's authenticity, and does the new color wear off?
