I just looked up this bag and it sold for 55 dollars! That's not right. Is there anything else I can do before some poor person shells out their hard-earned $?
Hi wonderful authentications. I posted here last week and my bag was a fake.

I know it was totally my fault and all I saw was the pink. I was asked to tell when I got my refund. I just received my refund yesterday. My question now is what kind of feedback do I leave? The seller had opened a cancel transaction case but never refunded my money and then eBay removed the listing, canceling the case. So I opened a case and finally got my refund a week after I asked. I did give the seller links here (and I'm pretty sure they made her mad because she never emailed after that.) I hate to leave negative feedback but what should I do?

Wait a sec! You are NOT at fault, unless it's for being a bit too trusting of a less-than-honest seller.
The seller was totally at fault since it's a seller's responsibility to know that her items are authentic before listing them. And unless she bought from a legitimate and authorized retailer and unless she's expert in a brand, it's always a good idea to verify authenticity just to be sure.
Unfortunately, now that the listing was removed, you won't be able to leave feedback, but this is my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of dinging a seller's feedback when a seller does the right thing but since your seller didn't respond appropriately, you were forced to file a dispute and she still didn't issue the refund and instead, you had to have ebay act on your behalf, this seller (IMO) would rightly have earned negative feedback.
One would like to think that your seller, kim37005 would have learned from this experience.
ETA: CORRECTION: The seller to avoid is Member id kim73005. (You'd copied her ID incorrectly in your original authentication request here: #7684.)

Please advise authenticity. Item is listed as Navy, but seller is unsure if it is Black or Navy. If I could also have your opinion on the actual color, that would be appreciated.

Hi LVaznGRL - I can't advise on authenticity, but I would say the bag is Navy. Although the leather is dark, the fabric around the zipper looks to be blue, rather than black. Sometimes that is the only way I can tell on older bags, even in person, when I don't have a known black bag handy to compare them to.
It's authentic.
On the really old bags, Coach used navy blue zippers in everything, regardless of color, so I don't recommend always using zipper color to determine a bag's color. However, by 1996, I think they were more often matching the zipper to the bag so you are probably right. On very old bags the navy was very dark but later the navy was easy to distinguish from the black. I have a 1995 manor bag in which the navy was extremely dark. I also have a 1997 navy bag that is obviously navy.
Thanks for the tips on zippers, Whateve! I don't really "do" navy, but still have ended up with a couple of navy bags that I swore were black.
I've read and reread every guide that I can access and can't answer whether or not this is authentic. The lady that has it says that she's had it for many many years. It looks like a court bag and has "made in Italy" with a 7 digit serial. I read through Hyacinths guides on Italian made bags but couldn't figure this one out. Please help. ..I appreciate any advice.

I think it's ok. There were a few "classic" bags made in Italy along with the Dakotas, Sheridans and Madisons right around 1993 and this is probably one of them. I'm not seeing any problems with the creed.
