LOL, I think we did this once before but it still one of the things that makes me chuckle when I read descriptions on auctions.

I'm posting late in the auction, it will have ended by the time I post this, apologies.
But I wanted to know because I think this person sells fakes and has sold fakes. Anyone with the time to verify, please do, because I would love to avoid a seller like this (if I am correct) at all costs.

The last 3 are fake, I don't see any reportable problems with the first two but the inside pocket on the second one doesn't look right.
It may be fake but the photos aren't clear enough to prove it. It almost looks like it has an old NYC creed but the hardware looks like it's silver. And the inside pocket zipper doesn't extend out to the edges of the pocket.
DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER " alon12347 " UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

The second bag has been relisted here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-leather-handbag-/321563493122?
In my opinion, the only style it could be is a Whitney. The buckles are the wrong shape and look to be silver rather than brass. The inside zipper doesn't go all the way across and is silver. The stitching along the top of the zipper is too far away from the zipper. The edge of the leather below the zipper looks raw and unfinished rather than folded under before stitching. The inside pocket is too short for the bag. There is no seam on the back of the bag but there is a center seam behind the inside pocket. Where did it come from? A Whitney has a full back slip pocket behind the main section but that doesn't have a center seam. In the pocket picture, it appears there is a center seam on the front of the bag opposite the pocket. In a Whitney, there is a front slip pocket that has a center seam, but the main body of the bag has no center seam. I think there are enough things wrong that I can see even in these crummy pictures to report.
Yeah, we got pretty aggressive with this one because of the ink...there is still a bit of glitter, not nearly as much as before
The wear on the glitter surface gave it a very "dirty" appearance. It's a light khaki color now. And I had to dab on some acrylic to cover the big blue spot on the back near the bottom...but my sister is happy, so I'm happy. Her City bag is coming along much better!
You guys missed another fake bag that alon12347 sold:
I believe it's trying to be style 10444 but the lining is the wrong fabric and the creed is the wrong color and texture.

Please "authenticate" this briefcase.
Measures 15.5 x 10 x 3.25
I actually requested a copy of the creed because it was not in the listing, but seller neglected to mention that it was CUT OUT! I have never seen this before.
PS - I did find another one on ebay listed right now and it has the same creed.

I know this one if fake (in my possession) but I thought I would show it so that people can see you might get fooled by the creed because the style number is correct.
Stupid me, I did not bother to read that it said it was made from LEATHER (It's a canvas bag) and the year code should have been "O4" instead of "4".
PS - Is the hang tag real?
