Wow ~ thanks SO much for your quick reply!!

So, blue and green for this style only --so glad to finally know that - it's one of those little things in the back of my mind that has been bugging me for years, but I didn't think to AT it until now -- so again, thank you for your input!! I will keep it in mind for future reference, and will report this seller's listings. :ty:

I've added a photo from Coach's original webpage listing of the genuine keychain if you want to copy it.

BTW, the second keychain is fake too, the Cs, especially the classic Cs with the serifs, are the wrong shape.

Excellent - thank you!!
I figured the second one was fake as well - the logo is awful! Thank you for confirming.

Also posted these listings (the purse too) in the Hall of Shame thread.

Any thoughts on the authenticity of these keyfobs?

The first one seems to be a common style (the multi-mix purse-shoe-hat-sunglasses-perfume bottle-etc fob), so I'm wondering if anyone knows the actual colors and charms that are supposed to be on the authentic version of this fob (there IS an authentic version, correct?) Was it just pink? Or did they do a black version as well...? (I see MANY of these on ebay, and some look authentic, while others... Not so much... just curious to what they should actually look like.)

Item # - 281089401684
Seller - astrology_bull
Listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Acces...pt=US_Women_s_Accessories&hash=item41723be354

Thanks so much!!

Not only is the seller's black Accessories Mix keychain fake (this style was ONLY made in a blue and green combination, never black), but they also have a fake Coach bag that they don't label as a Coach so they obviously KNOW it's counterfeit! The shiny acetate mini-C lining is a dead giveaway.

Coach's pic of the keychain style 92079 is below. Please report the bag and the keychains!

To further confirm astrology_bull's history, my records show that the seller had fake Dooney and Prada listings that were removed in December and a fake Dooney that was sold on Feb. 11.

ETA: Here's another recent sale from astrology_bull:

Hmmm. millymolly111 uses stolen pictures.

This is the listing from which the pictures were stolen.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/498-Limited...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It appears that she was one of the buyers of the above but she should use her own pictures or at least, give credit to the seller whose work she used. (I wonder if the owner of the pictures gave permission for her images to be used.)

Sooo...I bought the pink bag I posted yesterday. I was assured it was authentic and given the model # No: F0973-14305 which seemed to be an authentic coach # when I googled it, and showed me similar pictures.
But now that its in my hand..I'm not so sure. I had a friend get it for me since the seller lived a couple hours away near my friend.
The zippers do not have Ykk on them, and I'm a bit suspicious of the inner label. It IS sewn, but do authentic coach bags have the horse and carriage symbol?
It is supposed to be an OP art sateen maggie (or maybe it was madison). I found them on the coach site but only in grey, khaki, and black. Maybe pink was discontinued?
I hope I didn't get screwed :-/ thanks for any help you can offer.

1. There's nothing wrong with the creed. Some styles have creeds with horse and carriage logos and some do not. In order to check the style you have, do a search of listings with the same style of bag.
2. Zipper brand has NOTHING to do with authenticity. YKK is NOT proof of anything and in fact, many fakes do have either real or fake YKK zippers because the counterfeiters read the same BS guides that permeate the internet.
3. If Coach (itself) is sold out of a color, they remove it from their site. That doesn't mean that the color wasn't made. Also, sometimes, certain colors are department store exclusives and don't show up on coach's site.

Your bag looks fine.

Only the owner of an image (or text) can report infringement so reporting her listing won't do much.

If you are interested in the bag, you can email to tell her that you noticed that she bought the bag from another ebay seller recently and you're wondering why she's selling. Let her know you want to verify that there aren't any problems with it and that the condition is still as originally purchased since the pictures are the same ones.

I did send her a message just now. However, since she's already used the pictures of another seller in her listing, how can I trust her to send me her own pictures of the bag? Her feedback is excellent, but to be honest I am very worried whenever I use ebay either as a seller or a buyer given all the scam stories.

Thank you for your help!
