Sorry - I didn't think it would be necessary since I took my own photos.
The listing number is 131239787156
The seller is da1317
The link is http://www.ebay.com/itm/131239787156

I'm a little embarrassed because the listing clearly states some bad serial numbers, but I didn't even read the numbers because I had previously purchased from this seller. The red "Patricia's Legacy", white Station bag, and the black Willis bag in the listing are all fake. :(

Hello! I recently purchased a large wholesale lot of handbags from a seller I trusted, but four of the Coach bags were definite fakes. These three items were part of the same lot and I want to make sure they aren't fakes too, before I mail her back the fake ones. Thanks so much in advance.

This is precisely the reason why we want to see the listing, seller ID and any history and feedback the seller might have.

Personally, I wouldn't have recommended da1317 because not only did the seller not show the correct pictures necessary to authenticate the lot but she mixed authentic and fakes in that lot listing.

Additionally, da1317 has this listing for a fake with an obviously invalid serial number.

This is the creed from that listing:

Sellers need to learn the products they sell or they need to do the necessary authentication (as required by ebay policy AND the law) to make sure their listings comply with the law.


Wait for Hyacinth and Whateve for opinions on the other bags you've asked about.

Personally, again, I don't "trust" a seller who mixes fakes with authentic items nor who otherwise lists fakes. Have you considered that nearly 1/2 (4 of the 9 bags) you bought were fake?

Not to be trusted, IMHO.

ETA: I just realized that you paid $175 for that lot!! More than 1/2 being fake, I think the seller owes you a HUGE refund if not 100% refund!

1- The Donated stamp isn't a problem, and the briefcase is genuine.

2- the Court Bag is genuine

3- Whatever that's trying to be, it's a complete FAKE. It has an April 1996 year code but style number 9166 wasn't even introduced until Fall of 2000. The J plant code is questionable too.

I'm also not comfortable with the rounded top cosmetic case but the photos are too small to see any detail.

The "Large blk Coach station bag #012-3445 w tags brass hardware " is also fake and has an always-fake serial number.

The "Large cream coach Willis Murphy bag #4145 no tags brass hardware small pen mark on back see pics and slight slight soiling on interior flap." isn't a Murphy OR a Willis. If that's the number in the off-white Station Bag copy, that's fake too.

I'd REALLY like to see the creeds and a few other details on the Red Patricia's Legacy and the brown Willis. too.

You said you TRUSTED the seller? I hope you mean it in the past tense, because I wouldn't trust them enough to buy a newspaper from them.

THAT fake that Hyacinth pointed out makes 5 out of 9 fakes in your lot PLUS the fake I posted.

Again, I can't recommend da1317

And having spent $175 (plus $25 shipping) for that lot, you got ripped off!

Thanks for your expertise. Yes, I am so disappointed. As soon as I touched the other bags I could tell they were fake. The cosmetic bag and wallet weren't part of the deal, I negotiated with the seller because I didn't want them. I'll try to snap some photos of the fake Willis, fake station, and fake Patricia's legacy tomorrow before I mail them off. Where should I post them?
The seller has been very nice and apparently wasn't aware her items were fake. I've alerted her to the fake backpack as well.

Seems like we've seen this MO before. Wonder if Botticelli4grace has a sister in Chicago? Or maybe she was the inspiration for the mass dumping?
