And I know that local authorities won't do anything as they can't verify whether a purse is authentic or not, so unless Coach steps in and confronts these thrift stores and presses charges against them, they will never be punished for breaking the law. A person can't call the police and independently verify a purse is counterfeit without the copyright owner.

And Coach will never step in unless a situation is so massive that they fell they have to. Frankly, they just don't care, especially when older fakes are involved that aren't taking sales away from their current inventory. They also wouldn't want to be seen as the Bad Guy by picking on a non-profit like Goodwill.

Unfortunately all too many Goodwill store managers don't care either, since they know they're pretty much immune from police or corporate prosecution. There are a few stores that are not only concerned about fakes but who actually make an effort to spot them and keep them offf the shelves, but they're the exceptions.

Comment: nice colour, 'perfect condition', but is it authentic - creed looks off to me.

Fake. It's a known invalid serial number and those overstamp lines are the fakers' attempts to make the stamp appear credible.

Listing number: 321204948342
Seller: temkia74
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-handb...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Comments: I was browsing through the feedback left by buyer "pocketbooksvalue" and I noticed that she blasted a negative against the seller for this being a "fake" bag. Am I wrong in thinking that pocketbooksvalue is a knucklehead and poor temkia74 received a fully undeserved negative?

This purse is driving me nuts! A credible source has said it's authentic but I just have doubts.It does have the bullseye mark though as the source as pointed out, have there ever been fake creeds with a bullseye?

It is sescribed as "Coach Signature Hobo Brown & Gold Sateen, style 5982." Full creed = A060-5982

Listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Signa...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thank you for your help!

You are correct. If pocketbooksvalues claims to be a high volume buyer (as stated in the response to her own feedback), she must not buy from legitimate sources! There's nothing wrong with the bag and the poor seller did not deserve that feedback.

Anyone who sells Coach should block Member id pocketbooksvalues!!

BTW, the buyer recently changed her ID. The previous ID was nancykrigman2013.

She also left neutral feedback for this seller claiming one of the 4 bags is fake. I don't see any fakes there:

The bag in the listing is authentic.

Beware that there have been fake bullets. Keep in mind that anything can be copied and a bullet imprint is pretty simple for a counterfeiter to add to a fake creed.

this is an update to my previous post.

This is the listing that pocketbooksvalues negged as being fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-handb...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The bag that was presumably fake for which the seller was negged by pocketbooksvalues was listed by the very person who accused her of selling a fake!

Why would pocketbooksvalues list a bag if she "knew" it was fake?
