So here's an interesting, non-fiction short story: I messaged this seller asking for pics of the Casino's creed stamp. She replied that her bag doesn't have a stamp or any numbers, and asked me for more specific details regarding what I'm looking for. I send her creed photos from other Casino bags, also currently for sale on ebay, and she responds that no, her bag doesn't have anything like that.

I informed her that without a genuine Coach creed stamp/serial/model numbers, etc., there is no way to verify her Casino is an authentic vintage Coach piece.

Her reply? "All my Coach bags are authentic".

Sending creed photos from other bags to someone selling a probable fake is NEVER recommended. She may use one of those photos from a genuine bag to "prove" that her fake is genuine and hope that the buyer never checks to see if the serial number in the photo matches the one in the bag - if there IS one.

What's wrong with HER looking up genuine examples? Can't she figure out how to use the Search feature on Ebay? Hasn't she ever heard of Google?

You don't have any obligation to do her work for her, and may have made it easier for her to scam someone else. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, but please don't do that. If you're unsure of the bag's authenticity OR the seller's honesty, post the item listing in the Authenticate thread and let the experts take a look. They can get fakes removed from Ebay very quickly. Don't try to force a seller's hand. And never try to prove to a seller that her item is fake, she can report you to Ebay for harrassment and auction interference. Let US handle it.

Also, if you see an obvious problem area in a seller's photos, DON'T mention it to the seller. If she's dishonest she can simply remove the photo from her listing.

Thank you for doing/saying what you believe is true and just, and sharing that with myself and others.

I found sequinofp's assurance that "all her Coach bags are authentic" humorous, especially after i checked out her listings and found that she only had one other Coach bag, sold on April 14.

But what I also giggled at was her Michael Kors bag with Vera Bradley lining!

This sentence in her listings made me laugh too:
"Hopefully if you win, I have something to send it outin. We are on lockdown. I will let you know if there will be aproblem."

Wow. Craziness!!!
I chose not to dig any further after my interaction with her. I had already presumed the other items she is selling are most likely also not "authentic". The choices some people make....smh.
