Ugh! Just after posting about sellers who "hide" and sell their fakes in lots with other items, I discovered that simslover1992 did the same thing!

After the listing for the fake bag was removed twice, she listed and sold it again in this lot. (And I DO report completed listings!)

In her description, she states, "I also have 2 small coach bags ebay will not let me post separate so will sell together"

Just want to mention I also report completed listings. I don't think a lot of people realize it's even possible to get them removed once they've ended. I search completed listings for fakes. That's how dedicated I am to stopping the scammers! :smile:

Some of the patches are wrong and the hardware is wrong.

Comment: J8H prefix always fake per daria48 guide

I don't know if this is exactly true. While I don't recall ever seeing an authentic J8H prefix, I have an authentic H8H and J8H is only one month later, so it could theoretically happen. The font, alignment and spacing are important in determining authenticity. As far as I know, J8Y and J9H are always fake.

I rely on the daria48 guides so if this is the case, the guide should be revised regarding the "always fake" statement. The listing has been taken down and now I feel bad for reporting it if there is any doubt.

Which STILL means that so far, we haven't seen a genuine J8H- serial prefix that can be proven.

If anyone spots one that they think is genuine, we'll look at it. Until then, Daria told me she'll keep her Guide as written.

And even those H8H- codes are questionable. Here are 2 from my files, and they're slightly different. Compare the "No"s, the size of the Coach name in the cartouche above the creed, and the overall size of the serial number. The tan one MAY be genuine, the black one is definitely fake. So maybe the tan one is fake too, we just don't have photos of the right details.

ETA - Other 1998 A8H- plant creeds I've seen are either Neo styles with A8H- prefixes from the Dominican Republic (one has an outlet stamp), or one (of several that we've seen) Station Bag with an A8H- code from the US that seems genuine, and a sample style that I own also from the US with a -0000 style number which I'm absolutely sure is genuine and which even has the correct brand name on the magnetic snaps, something I've never seen in a fake. The 2 US bags have a slightly higher crossbar on the H plant code than the -4156 posted above.
