Again, don't ever base a buying decision on what name or half-dozen names a seller gives to a bag or uses in the listing.

Just FYI - this is an authenticity thread, not an "ID this style" thread. The main Coach forum's main thread will have more posts on Legacy bags - there's no single source of information though.

I know- that's why I asked in original post for the correct thread...sorry & thanks for the info.

Although there's a serious lack of pictures, there's a detail that screams "fake."

Note that a*shaikh_co already received a neg (today!!) for selling that bag and not claiming the payment. The buyer doesn't know how lucky she was!
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller

She also changed her name (from abizzlez) on the same day she "sold" the bag the first time.

Do not buy from a*shaikh_co. Does anyone know Chanel and Gucci?

Tan, bucket style

The number almost looks like it was cut from another bag. Have you seen this before?

Thank you!

Item - Coach wallet
Seller - Listia -Aleahjonesplease
Link - http://www.listia.com/auction/3458646-white-coach-wallet

Comments: I've seen horseshoe-shaped soho buckles, oblong bleecker buckles, hamptons buckles and others but I've never seen a round buckle on any Coach wallet. Also, the colors of the wallet are odd, with white leather exterior, yellow leather interior and green lining.

Is this wallet authentic? TIA.
Click to expand...

I've never seen that style before but there are just too many red flags:

Two colors of leather PLUS a third color as a lining - Coach usually doesn't - or didn't - throw so many colors together on one wallet. And there's no C's or logos of any kind woven into the lining which is a little unusual although a few other wallets don't either

I've NEVER seen a plain round buckle on the front of any Coach wallet OR bag.. It doesn't even look like it belongs there, and Coach wallets will always have hardware that matches the line or family they belong to. The stitching on the front just doesn't "feel" right and in the first photo it looks like the leather edging on the left side of the front flap is narrower than on the right side.

I've never seen any Coach with so many credit card slots. It looks like there are slots for 18 at least, and who carries so many cards, or ANY kind? You'd never be able to snap the wallet shut if all the slots were full.

The ONLY thing that says Coach anywhere is the stamp on the inside, and that's very easy to fake. The stamp also doesn't look like it's at the exact center of the wallet. I'd also like to see a better photo of the zipper pull and of both halves of the front snap

I'd have to say Fake.

Item: Rambler’s Legacy 9061
Made in Costa Rica in 2000
Seller: Salvation Army Thrift Store $17.53
Dimensions: 7.5” tall, 9.75” wide, 3.5” deep

Comments: I think (hope!) that I have finally found a genuine Rambler! I had purchased a brown one previously from a consignment store and I had a few concerns but the shop owner insisted that it was genuine and promised to give me a full refund if it turned out to be fake.

Guess what? You guys told me that it was a fake and she lied about the refund! She refused to believe that it was not genuine and adamantly refused to refund. Happily I didn’t pay much for it but I won’t be shopping there anymore!

I had seen this black one previously at the SA and was attracted to it because it is so clean and in such good shape, but I passed on it because it was $35. Yesterday they had a 50% off sale so I grabbed it!

Please authenticate, I will post additional pics with the next message. My only concern is that there seems to be some excess material around the seams inside the pocket under the front flap. I think that you will be able to see what I mean in the 4th photo below. Other than that it looks pretty good to me, thanks for your help!

That's not the same Legacy Satchel I am referring to. I am referring to the 2006 Legacy Satchel.

BTW some of those style legacy Satchels such as in your link, made in Leather, kind of fell apart.

Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I was/am a bit busy catching up after working a ton of OT the past 5 weeks.

Dear goodguy2012us,

I guess I'm confused- so did you buy the bag from the other seller and re-selling it? (Obviously nothing wrong with that) I'm just trying to figure out how you both have the same pictures of the purse if they are in fact two different purses of the same exact style (then you wouldn't have the same exact pics). I really love this purse so I would like clarification before purchasing.

Dear goodguy2012us,

The pictures you have are from another listing, do you have pictures of the actual bag you are selling?

***Should i report him to original seller? can they do anything? BTW- I will not purchase from this seller, just wanted to see what they would say.

You could report him to the other seller if they were concerned about photo copyright infringement, which in this case they probably are not unless they have stolen the photos from a commercial website. Instead you could report him to eBay support if his activity is 'shady'. If he has any pastor ongoing suspicious activity they can easily spot it and track, watch, warn or ban him as needed.
