Did you notice the $95 one was missing the hangtag?

Whoa you're right! Maybe that's why it's much cheaper! BTW those two are different-- The $95 one has no hangtag, fish has no white of the eye, plus the small accents sewn onto the first two fins (on either side of the fish head) are the same color as the fins. Whereas the $124.99 one has different colored accents on the fins, and the whole fish has a more distinctive outline. Hmm... fishy......

Interesting.... comparing them side-by-side, there's quite a difference, and I don't think it's just the lighting... wondering if one was originally the charm, and someone put it on a keyring instead...? Or, did the outlet ever do a version of this fob...? Also, the $95 one looks like it has sloppy stitching, compared to the other one... unless it's just a bad angle/bad lighting/poor focus....

This was a "well--faked" style and now that I look at it again I'm not sure that the $95 one is authentic.

The back of the fish is missing the "made in China" imprint, the lozenge stamp looks off, the leather is too shiny and the front of the fish looks off too.

I'll be right back with some side-by-side comps. (I'd like to hear Hyacinth's opinions on this one.)

This further convinces me that someone got ripped off for $95.





BTW, this is the fake again:

I hope the buyer hasn't paid for it. :(

Oh yeah, those are some significant differences in details, now that you mention it...

For example - look at the dorsal fin - on the $95 one, it's missing some angles/edges to the fin... Notice how the nicer-looking one has the top squared part, then it dips into a "V" shape, and then back out again into a small rectangle, right where it attaches to the body/scales... If that makes sense LOL.

But yes, I also agree that this appears fake, and appreciate seeing everyone's input! You all are just so helpful and knowledgeable.... What would we do without you? :hugs:

Boy, this seller is optimistic! $400 for this bag?
http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Coach-Handbag-Authentic-Excellent-Condition-/111131517

Especially when the selling prices range from about $20 (with one under $10) to $80. (And the $80 one included a wristlet):

I'm amazed at the sellers who don't do any research. Even the Victoria's Secret purse is overpriced. It was probably free with purchase.

The wear on the front right above the logo is just too much for me at this price...

I personally wouldn't buy it - maybe if there wasn't such an obvious spot on the front part? But for that kind of money, I'd rather just wait for the next one to come along...

Part of the problem is because of the nature of python. The skin has raised scales and because of that, the edges can bend and show wear even with little use or abuse.
