Yes I won that one and the NYC bag

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...473?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item35d87c6441


and now both have been re-listed because I refused to pay her rip-off shipping. The start for the first auctions was 0.99c they are now BINs with the NYC bag at $44.50 and the black one is listed twice at $34 and $39. That's one confused seller!

I'm tempted to report her because she cancelled the orders and invoiced me directly through PayPal because she couldn't change out of the GSP before the auction ended, which is rubbish.
I see that her listings included international shipping so you were within your rights to bid and win.

If you paid and now she's refusing to sell for those prices, although I'm not a fan of arbitrarily negging of sellers, this is a seller/sellers who earned it. You won fair and square and she should have honored her prices.

RANT!!!!I had a thang w/ NJshopper06 about that bag too! I asked her if she could check ship prices, because that bag would cost 5.95 to ship Priority in padded envelope AND I said there must be an error because I just shipped the same bag to the UK for that price(17.50)...She came back with..." HOW Much did you sell your bag for?"
Ha! If you want MORE for the bag, up the beginning price, selling it BIN,put a reserve on it..DON'T play POSTAGE GAMES..but I bit my tongue & wrote back that "I thought she had made an error or did not check the shipping calculator which is available for both buyers & seller to use to calculate the correct postage"..I was fuming, wgat I sell my bags for is NOT her concern..and my bags are REHABBED..so its apples &oranges! A MAJOR pet peeve of mine!!~ jacking up post prices...I will never bid on item from seller that plays that game!!! UGH!!:smash::pullhair:UGH!!
 
I think this needs to be reported. Made in Korea....

If report is needed, could someone do it? I don't know how to do it.
Don't report that bag! I don't believe it's fake and it's not made in Korea. It clearly states that it's a NYC bag. Wait for other opinions then, if deemd fake, you can report. but don't report yet.


ETA: Duh, I didn't see that Hyacinth had already responded. Sorry.

Wallets weren't always stamped. I have several with no stamp at all.
The pics of this wallet show COACH stamped on it, I'm just wondering how I would tell if it was made in ITALY? Most of the similar Madison Wallets for sale were made in ITALY...were they all made in Italy? Seller claims Vintage, but that could mean anything..I'm psyched that I got it so cheap..but if Its too small & I decide to sell it I would like to know where it was made? Any help would be appreciated.:ty:Sheri
 
It's genuine, made in 1995
Hi Hyacinth

I requested more close-up pics from the seller and there are few white spots on the surface.
I searched the care methods for the vintage coach bag by using the saddle soap, however I am not sure whether it can get rid of those spots or not. You must have tons of experience in this, do you think those spots can be cleaned easily? And Can the wear on the connection of handle with the purse, and the straps been cared (or recovered ) by leather treatment or wax?
Thanks very much!

I was afraid if cause a ruckus! Thank you catching my cut and paste mistake! Good God! I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened!

Any way my post can be deleted?
 
Unfortunately the seller - njshopper06 - reneged on agreed shipping cost and tried to overcharge me for shipping by about $20 and gave me the choice of pay it or cancel. Classic case of sellers' remorse. Seller - njshopper06 - should learn to list properly or start bidding higher if she wants more for her purses! :rant:

I mean wtf is a ridzenieks54?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ridzenie...hB4P%2Bpbfa8SxqSvk9DY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Maybe it's her surname? I guess you could check it out online with the name and city for a phone number, or is that stalking?:graucho:
 
I have rehabbed a black Riverside and it came up well, however I have also worked on the light coloured Lightweights and they are hard work. The colour doesn't come back like it does with the thicker Leatherware range. My recommendation, FWIW, is to wait for something else.
Thanks, I am going to pass. Looked like a whole lotta time without real results. I do have one lightweight bag and the leather is wonderful but I can see how it might be too challenging.
 
ridzenieks54pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/dot_clear.gif( 89) is apparently the buyer for whom she listed that bag.

But this is really strange.

This listing was "sold" on June 21:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ridzenieks5...hB4P%2Bpbfa8SxqSvk9DY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

And it's been relisted again, presumably for the same buyer:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ridzenieks54-/231265474212?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item35d87f16a4

and again:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ridzenieks54-/231265298606?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item35d87c68ae

Something's rotten in Denmark.


ETA: DO NOT BUY FROM njshopper06 or from ridzenieks54.

They are the same person and are playing games.

Notice the rug in the background of this lisitng from ridzenieks54
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sammy-Bensk...8172564?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item233bdcaa14

It matches the rug in this listing from njshopper06

Wow, BB, you would make an awesome detective!
