This line made me
Scroll down to the white field where the "Description" page is located.
On the far right you will see:
eBay item number:141301349485
Just copy and paste to your tPF post. Highlight the number and Ctrl + C, to cut, and Ctrl + V, to paste. It seems to be the fastest way to accomplish cut/paste.
To embed links, like some do for the seller's name, click on the seller's name on the listing, ebay will take you to their page. Highlight the name URL, cut/paste, then come back here and click on the link icon above. (The blue/green world with the paperclip.) A little submenu will pop up, paste your link (Ctrl +V). Click on ok. The name will still be highlighted - within that highlighted field you can rewrite their name to make it appear tidier. Or carefully backspace delete the redundant coding.
example:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/drury5757?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
looks something like this in the drop down box
"http://www.ebay.com/usr/drury5757?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" *redundant coding begins here* http://www.ebay.com/usr/drury5757?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
(The bolded words between the asterisks are mine...I made a muddled mess of the coding trying to show it all.)
Then you can eliminate the second set of http coding up to the closed [/URL] bracket.

Hello again ladies!
I have one that, based on my small experience, seems fishy.
Item Name: "Vintage Coach leather Purse" (it's a court bag)
Item Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-COACH-Leather-Purse-534888aa2662030573001aaf
Concerns: The creed language looks different than anything I've ever seen. Also, I thought for the serial of vintage bags was LetterNumberLetter-NumberNumberNumberNumber. This one is a LetterNumberNumber. On top of that, the leather looks...loose. It doesn't look thick and doesn't look real.
The creed picture is hard to read so I deciphered it: "This is a coach bag. It was handcrafted in china from completely natural glove-tanned leather. The variations in the grain are characteristic of natural full-grain leather. Its superior craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect our commitment to enduring quality."

It's fake. The strap ends shouldn't be riveted and the squared end of the strap isn't right either. The year code is wrong for the B plant which seems to have closed some time in 2000. Obviously the style number is wrong since that fake is trying to be a City Bag #9790 but among other problems the inside pocket is much too small and should have a zipper.
The serial number sequence is not "always" how you listed it, some plants used a number as a plant code including Turkey and many of the early Chinese plants. And the creed wording is also exactly the same as in leather bags from the early Chinese plants. The leather from them also has a slightly different feel than the original US bags.
I don't see any problems with it, other than that it shouldn't be called vintage since it was made in 1999.

Thank you!
The seller is 16 years off on the year for starters, and Coach made nickel hardware available on most of their bags starting in the late 1990s. So there's nothing wrong with it on a bag from 2005.
OK I'm getting way carried away with vintage Coach bags, but couldn't help myself...it's so pretty!!!

Please tell me this is authentic before it gets shipped! Thanks very much
It's authentic, from the 1970s.
Thanks, Hyacinth...I picked up the name from several ebay listings...seemed consistent on 3 or 4 bags.
