I thought Craigslist postings were not links you wanted posted. I thought just ebay. My mistake.

We like to see all links to where pictures originate. One of reasons for this is that there have been instances where we've authenticated an item where pictures showed an authentic bag. Yet, upon ultimately seeing the listing, we saw that the pictures were stolen from another source, sometimes an ebay seller, sometimes some online blog or even pictures stolen from TPF reveal posts.

Additionally, the listing is helpful in instances where the pictures show a fake because many sites have some type of "report" button where we can flag the fakes, possibly saving a buyer from buying that fake.

Ok I'm sorry. Again I was under the impression of only ebay listings being posted. I will post all links from now on. Again my apologies.

Definitely fake, made in Korea and with an invalid and too-short serial number. Creed mis-spellings and mistakes include "SCARTCHES", "THIS IS A GOOD LEATHER BAG", "NTAURAL". No Coach lozenge on the creed, fake zipper pull, fake hangtag. ALL members please report!

The receipts aren't even CLOSE. Both those bags were made before 2007 and the receipts are for bags made in the last 3 years, maybe less. The colors aren't even the same.

And I would NEVER buy from anyone who blacks out any part of the serial number. The listings are deceptive and the seller is an @rse, but the bags are real although not what the seller is claiming them to be. Don't feel bad about being blocked from bidding on the seller's items, he/she is doing you a favor.

That's what i thought - at least the bags are real though, so no-one is going to get ripped off. His answers to my questions were ridiculous, hopefully it puts people off dealing with him.

Thanks for your wisdom, as ever. ;P

Good evening everyone. Can someone review this listing for me. It looks like the same (different color) as one I asked about a couple of days ago.

Listing: Coach vintage nubuck suede
Seller: cftay
Item no. 370864556168
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/370864556168

comment: this is an auction where all the bidders are private listings which makes me a little nervous. I don't know what that means other than it seems the auction could be artificially bumped up by the seller. Tell me I'm wrong, please.

Count your blessings that you won't do business with gavinb4. Good sellers want educated buyers and appreciate those who know what questions to ask. Obviously, this isn't a good seller.

Additionally, redacting style numbers on receipts and tags is foolish. Not only are UPC codes, style and color codes, retail prices and other info on a receipt and tag not unique but is actually preventing gavinb4 from showing what is necessary to authenticate his/her items.

Anyone who feels up to it is welcome to educate gavinb4. Instead of blocking, she should come here and learn what she needs to show and what we need to see before we'll recommend her listings.

There are plenty of good and responsive sellers around to buy from. This one doesn't deserve your money. JMHO.
