Both are probably genuine, but it's almost impossible to be sure about bags being sold from the Philippines since a large number of them seem to be AAA fakes.

The "better" color is something you have to decide, you're the one who will be using it.

Thank you once again Hyacinth! I can't really figure out if it's a fake or not, but I really like it. It strikes me as odd though that the "made in China" is not engraved on the Coach tag when there is a small part on the side of the bag that says "made in China". The seller is selling it at it's full price so I can't make any mistakes if decide to buy this. :(

If you are referring to that the "Made in China" isn't on the creed, but is on the small strip sewn into the lining, Coach has been doing this recently on newer bags.

I understand the use of private auctions for some categories of listings, such as fetish items, erotica, some health and beauty, etc., but I've never been able to ascertain a legitimate reason why someone would do a private listing for something as innocuous as handbags and accessories.

I'm always bothered by most private listings, especially in auctions that start at ridiculously low opening bids. It's been many years since penny and 99-cent listings have encouraged bidding wars and most of the sellers I know who've tried 99-cent lisitngs have (for the most part) lost their shirts.

In looking at this seller's current, completed and feedback listings, most of what she sells are purses and wallets. And looking at the few "public" auctions, those selling prices seem to be lower than those you can see in the completed listings. While I have no idea whether there's any "illicit" activity going on in the private listings, I've seen enough shill bidding that I'd avoid those types of listings and the sellers who run them.

Another problem with private listings is that once those listings are too old to show in the completeds, we can't see what items the seller sold and whether they're authentic.

Though I've not seen this seller with fakes, private listings are another way for other sellers to hide the fact that they sold fakes. In looking at feedback, you have no way of seeing past history.

With so few items around that are really OOAK, when I buy, I prefer sellers who offer transparency in their listings.

JMHO.

Thanks so much. I really like that purse but feel uncomfortable bidding on it. It's taken off like a shot now that the listing is coming to an end. And now I get the reasons for some private listings. but it's not like I'm bidding on an anatomically correct life-sized blow up doll of Channing Tatum, it's a purse for goodness' sake.:giggles:

Oh my. I'm in such a dilemma! Help? I need your opinion on the pics I posted of the bags.. Do you think they are authentic?

There isn't anything in the pictures that make me believe the bags are fake, but there is always a chance you could get such a good fake, it would be almost impossible to tell (although it would probably be easier to tell in person, especially if you had an authentic one to compare it to.) Unfortunately, there are some really good fakes in the Philippines.

Item name: Wendie?
Listing #: N/A
Seller: GW
Item #: N/A

She measures approx. 8.5 long, 5.5 high, 1.5 to 2 deep, and the strap is around 45-46"

I love this color, it's a mustard. Thanks in advance everyone!

Genuine, but I'm not sure about the color name - Toffee, maybe?
