There's nothing wrong with that bag. Sheridans WEREN'T traditional, many didn't have serial numbers, they used their own unique turnlocks, and the straps were stiffer. As for the smell, the leather was well-sealed to be water resistant and that can block any leather smell.

Sheridans are discussed in the Salearea Guide to Italian-made Coaches, posted here:
http://reviews.ebay.com/Coach-Italy-Guide-Coach-Italian-Made-Bags?ugid=10000000051492233

I suggest you read and Bookmark all of them for reference:

Thank you Hyacinth. Yep, I have all your guides and even forwarded the "Italy Guide" to the buyer. She wasn't sure about my word so I wanted her to have a second opinion from an expert. :)

Hyacinth, where to report eBay seller for selling the same Coach bag over and over again. I called eBay yesterday and they said activity looked suspicious and they would investigate.

She had sold that bag 2 more times today with a BIN.

I bought it on the 13th and contacted seller to ask if there was an error in the listing. I mentioned that she had already sold that bag. She said it was an error and he would refund my money on the 23rd. I told her I needed immediate refund and she said she is trying to raise the money.

Yuck.

We just had a situation like this a month or two ago with someone listing the same kinds of bags multiple times. No one should ever buy from a seller with multiples of hard to find items like this. And she's sold the SAME BAG TEN TIMES for $29.95 each time???

"Not even questionable- outright scam. Same bag sold 3 times in the last few hours?! 3 Diagonal Lindsey's sold in the last 2 days? All stock photos?

Avoid like the plague."
And another poster commenting on that and a possible shill bidding situation that wasn't able to be reported:

And both sellers are selling the same kind of items besides the fraudulent purse listings


You need to contact someone at Trust & Safely and tell them what's going on. I don't have a number but I'll try to find one. Meanwhile you can try reporting all the Completeds for possible Fraud, and file a Dispute IMMEDIATELY.

Seller with TEN Completed SOLD listings for the same bag all within a 4-day period is:
ANGELASWEETDEALS
I do NOT recommend dealing with this seller since the listings may be fraudulent.

The last of the above posts are right above one that you made on Oct 23. I wish you would have noticed them. You get a lot more out of a forum when you read or at least skim all the posts in a thread, not just the ones related to the question you posted.

I did read those. It was a buy it now and I did not research her previous listings before I bought it.

Thank you.

Gallery is better, thanks. I hate to have to constantly click just to stop the slideshow. And I prefer to choose which photos to see first.

They all seem ok.

Two items for authentication, please. Both purchased at local thrift stores with a liberal return policy if they are fakes! As always, thank you.

1) Small turnlock case, olive green, no creed inside. It has one lined zipper pocket, and one unlined slip pocket.

http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg586/arizabif1/DSCF2209_zpsa304988e.jpg

2) Blue pebbled leather wallet. This is the one that most baffles/concerns me, because in addition to the embossed "Made in China", there is a "Made in China" *sticker* on the lining. All the pockets are lined with signature fabric. Slip pocket on back, zipper pocket on inside, with additional slip pockets.

This is my holy grail bag...a purple willis. If is going for a hefty price. Before I even consider it...of course I want to run it by you ladies. And, ask what are the chances of this bag being as "new" as the seller claims to be. As much information on this bag as can be provided would be, as always, very appreciated.

I'm not sure about this one. The only place I can find a photo I trust is here at tPF - it seems to show the regular embossed leather, but the listing you're asking about says it's Patent Leather:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/coach-fall-2010-preview-569728-143.html#post16440850

But it doesn't really look like Patent to me. Maybe the seller made a mistake listing it. The only Patent seems to be on the straps down the front of the bag. Usually if Coach makes a style in both regular and Patent Leather, they'll give them different style numbers. Other than that the bag seems ok but I'm not an expert on newer bags. More opinions would help.

Thank you so much Hyacinth for your assessment. I will reconsider this item and study some more pictures myself.

Anyone else? More opinions are welcome!

What a haul! Where are you finding all these great purses? On the Courier Pouch, are the buckles stamped "pure brass"?

It's genuine and from a highly Trusted Seller. I own its twin. :smile1:

Since it was just made in 2005 there's no reason why it shouldn't be New.
