COACH Hall of Shame - Post Coach fakes here!

Did the seller change or remove some photos? I'm not seeing a close up of the hangtag and the photos I'm seeing for the varsity rogue have a different background than the Chinese site, plus the handles are wrapped in her photos but not on the Chinese site. All of her Coach purse listings have different backgrounds, but the Swagger background is used again for a Vera Bradley. She may be stealing photos from various sites because she is too lazy to take her own pictures.

She originally had this listing with a stock photo from Coach: http://www.ebay.com/itm/new-with-tag-COACH-varsity-patch-rogue-bag-in-pebble-leather-/192048732006?hash=item2cb6ff1766:g:m3wAAOSw5cNYSjkR&nma=true&si=EIVdXynPcuZcOuAC1tuuyH4VdZc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Did Coach make two variations of the varsity rogue?
I found some more photos of that type of fake coach rogue. Hopefully my attachments will show up. The bag in the attachment looks exactly like the sellers bag, same type of handle wrapping with the handles taped together in the middle and if you look closely you can see the tape peeking out from one of the feet.

She changed her photos because I contacted her prior to posting on here. I wanted to give her a chance to remove the listing before reporting her since she seemed like an otherwise reputable seller (thousands of 100%) positive feedback. I probably shouldn't have told her what I thought was wrong with the bag (stitching on hangtag and wrong format on price tag) but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and thought she may have been duped by another seller. Clearly I was wrong because she posted another set of photos of the same bag except this time she specifically avoided photographing the hangtag up close and the price tag so other people cannot recognize that she's selling a fake bag.
You can still tell though because all the new rogues employ a new type hangtag (a tag made of a thick rectangular cardboard material attached to the bag by a black piece of string). If you search for coach rogue on ebay, many other sellers have photos of the new type of hangtag used for coach rogues. I confirmed with my sa at the local branch and she also said she's never seen a coach rogue with the original small price tags used for other coach bags. Also, coach never puts that ugly yellow duct tape on the feet of their bags. Many of the fake coach bags on taobao, however, also have the ugly yellow duct tape on the feet so I don't think that's a mere coincidence.
Further, if she's confident in the authenticity of her bags, there would be no reason to change her set of photos and specifically avoid photographing the parts that I raised questions about.
Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was odd that the hangtag isn't viewable at all in her photos. I was thinking that she might just be a picture thief and had inadvertently stolen photos of fakes, but it is looking more like that isn't the case.

Since April, 2015, I've reported over 5 dozen fakes that libertystore has listed and/or sold. Amazingly, every once in a while, ebay will remove some fakes following a report but more often than not, money talks.

And if libertystore doesn't like its name plastered all over the TPF Halls of Shame, they should verify the legality of the items they list.
