The Cs aren't centered right, for starters. There's a ton of other stuff wrong but for obvious reasons I won't mention them. The off-center C pattern is proof enough.
 
I told her everything that was wrong but she thinks it's real cause it has a number. The ignorance of some people.

Does she actually think that professional counterfeiters, many of whom are part of major organized crime groups, would be STUPID enough to make fakes that didn't have serial numbers like real ones do? BTW, tell Miss Genuis that yes, it does have a number - but the number has a fake year code and the style number -5659 actually belongs to THIS bag - which doesn't look anything like the POS she's selling:

EDITED TO ADD - and if she doesn't believe that, maybe she'll believe this - the second photo is the Internet Archive Wayback Machine's actual scan of Coach's webpage for style number 5659 from March 4, 2005.

She also may want to read this Ebay Guide. If she still refuses to listen, then she knows perfectly well her "Coach" is junk and is just going to keep trying to dump that Canal Street Special on someone else. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM kristintidwell

Thank you so much, I reported kirstintidwell and her bag but I'm going to show her this too. You guys are amazing
 
Thank you so much!! I don't mind hunting if I'm looking for a general bag to rehab but if it's a purse I *have* to have (see also: pink poodle keychain) then I want to ensure that I get a better chance of getting it.
I use GIXEN.COM and use the same approach Hyacinth does. I set it at the price I am willing to pay and forget about it. I lose a LOT of auctions that way because I am always looking for a bargain...:rolleyes:

Kirstintidwell blocked me, I hope she saw it before she did.
Obviously the seller at Poshmark, kirstintidwell or kristintidwell, doesn't want to learn about recognizing fakes and being an honest seller.
