This one looks ok - Brighton Bag from around 1992, style 9895.

I agree with Whateve, BB and others about the "new" Photobucket. It BITES. We need photos that preferably can be enlarged, and PB seems to have removed that. Stupid stupid decision.

And my ancient eyes are grateful for the large photos!

At least 3 are authentic from the past weekend's haul. I am liking PB at all, even for uploading is different. I am glad the giant photos didn't bug you all too bad, it just took up a lot of space:) Thank you so much for your help. It makes me sad that there are so many fakes!

Item: coach handbag
Listing number: 221197752713
Seller: kim37005
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/coach-handb...XnK9967Hbp9QGSJgMbYC8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Comments: So I did the non-thinking thing and bid on this last minute. I had glanced at it and thought it looked ok. I have several bags from kristin line and thought I was fine. I went back and looked at it more closely, or as close as I could, and saw several things that made me suspicious. I have requested a better creed pic from the seller. Thanks for any help!

If you haven't already paid for it, DON'T. It's a complete fake.

A Carriage logo? Shiny acetate lining? Crappy creed patch with the numbers squeezed into the bottom space? And a back pocket???

ETA - What sounds like a similar or identical fake was discussed here:

Let us know if you've paid. If you have, contact the seller and demand an immediate refund. If you haven't let us know and we'll report that POS to Ebay. My finger's on the Report button so please let us know ASAP.

I don't recommend buying ANYTHING from kim73005.

She has other fakes in current and completed listings. If anyone is into reporting, these are all trash:

Thank you. I had a feeling I had been duped. Always makes me feel a bit foolish. When I went back to take a better look I had the feeling it was a fake. I did pay so I will contact the seller and get my money back. Thanks for saving me from getting a fake purse!

As an addition to this, she sold me a fishy story about how it was her daughter's when she clearly said in her description she bought it and didn't like it. It was my fault for not looking carefully but she is definitely not fun to work with.

Depending on how she responds and what kind of story she tells, you can decide on the feedback to leave. At best, this seller mixes fakes and authentic so it's best that buyers be warned.

And please watch for it to be relisted because it doesn't seem as though the seller cares about ripping off buyers.
