It’s gone. I always get a vibe that a seller is lazy or dishonest that will not post a creed shot on request. Almost all sellers I have asked uploaded a Creed shot on polite request. It’s a given, to me at least, that volume sellers of Coach who do not provide Creed shots don't care if they sell fakes.
 
And to back up what Lake Effect just said "It’s a given, to me at least, that volume sellers of Coach who do not provide Creed shots don't care if they sell fakes."...

Just thought I'd take a cruise through the listings of our favorite fakes mixer on Etsy - GutsyGirls.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/GutsyGirls?search_query=coach

This long-time fakes mixer-seller and out-and-out Fake News Purveyor about the age and attribution of her bags (meaning a BUNCH of "Bonnie Cashin" listings that have NO connection to Cashin, as well as bags "from the 1980s" that are from the 1990s or even more recent) has also been peddling her fakes and mis-described bags at Etsy as " DEBBIE GIBSON-BROWN ", at Ebay under "DEBBIEB208 " and at Bonanza as " GUTSY GIRLS INC "

I doubt very much if Etsy will ever lift a finger to remove any of these since they never have in the past, but maybe we can at least warn potential buyers. Creed pics, when she bothers to post them, are hardly ever readable. I don't recommend buying from this seller under any circumstances. JMO.

CURRENT ETSY LISTINGS include FIVE Confirmed fake Coaches and TWO Probables:

UPDATE: Previous posts were from March 28 and to date (now at 9 days), The RealReal still has NOT removed the listing of the fake Coach bag for which some poor sucker got ripped off for $55.

Nor have they removed the listing that ended up being sold for $50 for the fake Coach keychain.

My previous message in response to my letting TRR know about the fake keychains was from CRYSTAL at The RealReal.

My more recent message in response to my letting TRR know about the fake handbag was from LINDA Z. at The RealReal. (One must assume that based on the fact that the listings are still viewable, their "authenticity team" deemed them as genuine.

"Hello xxxx,

Thank you for your inquiry and for shopping with The RealReal.

We have forwarded this information over to our Authenticity team.

Authenticity is the cornerstone of The RealReal. We staff in-house professionals including gemologists, horologists, art appraisers and apparel experts that ensure every item sold is 100% authentic and in beautiful condition.

During this inspection process, we validate appropriate brand markings, date codes, serial tags and hologram stickers as applicable. Each item passes through our strict authenticity test before it is curated into daily sales.

Our main goal is for our customers to be satisfied with their purchase and we would like to work on getting you there.

I got a response from Linda but it's not something I'm interested in because The Realreal isn't a site I want to do business with. Thanks Linda Z. and TRR but no thanks!

I wonder if they are going to do anything about that fake bag they sold.
 
I just wanted to warn you all.
I recently joined a replica fashion Facebook group, just to see what was in there.
One of the first posts that caught my eye is this!!
These are counterfeit! They look incredibly like the real thing.

Php 5,500.00 is about $100 USD...
Seriously there are a TON of Coach fakes being offered for sale in this group. Here's a few more:
"Direct Supplier of Authentic Quality, Highend Replica of Bags, Watch & More" is the name of the group FYI
