Seller is collectibleonceloved

She advertises the bag as made in New York City, while the creed states made in China. Do not know if the bag is authentic.

I wouldn't touch ANYTHING from that seller with a 50-foot pole! She's one of the most infamous fakes sellers and none of her descriptions can be trusted. For someone who sells (or sold) residential real estate for at least one of the big names in the business she's someone I'd never buy a house from either, she'd probably "forget" to tell you about the lovely asbestos insulation behind that pretty wallpaper.

" collectibleonceloved " has 2 pages of posts here about her shady selling methods. She's gone through several IDs since we first came across her scamming an inexperienced Ebayer with one of those "lot" listings for a large number of bags including a half dozen dozen or so "Coaches" out of which more than half were fakes and then refusing to refund the buyer because the buyer had already sold one of the bags.

https://forum.purseblog.com/search/1527392/?q=collectibleonceloved&o=date

Just one example:

Authenticate This COACH - see first post for format

IMPORTANT READ-ME Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread. No PMs please. For further information, please refer to the first post on page 1 of this thread. Please follow the following requests: Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this...

forum.purseblog.com

"IMPORTANT (but not surprising) NOTE:
collectibleonceloved is the same person (latest ID) of botticelli4grace aka absolutelybetterpursedeals ..."

Searching tPF for her previous ID "BOTTICELLI4GRACE" brings up SIX more pages of posts:

https://forum.purseblog.com/search/1527439/?q=botticelli4grace&o=relevance

Here's just one, it goes into some detail about the seller's original scam:

AUTHENTICATE this COACH

Thanks Hyacinth! Have you ever seen one of these?? The dustbag is a well-known fake. And the graphic has nothing to do with Coach because it's not a coach at all, and was never used by the company. When something is referred to as a coach it usually has 2 bench seats facing each other with a...

forum.purseblog.com

and from the day before:

AUTHENTICATE this COACH

And I'd like to add there are several even more disturbing issues about the fakes sold in a large lot by botticelli4grace - Anyone who's experienced with selling Coaches should have spotted the red flags on the fakes IMMEDIATELY. All four of the "Coaches" with Signature C fabric show that...

forum.purseblog.com

including my personal comment from June 14, 2013:
"I'm going to do what I don't often do and state my own personal decision to never authenticate ANY item listed by BOTTICELLI4GRACE - unless of course it's fake, since I don't want to give anything even slightly resembling any kind of recommendation for this seller. I don't often use words like "despicable" but I'm strongly tempted."

She also sells or has sold on other websites, read the post(s) in both tPF Search links. NOT RECOMMENDED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. She's one of my personal "RLH ('Run Like Hell'), sellers", with heartfelt apologies to Pink Floyd.

JUST TO CLARIFY - the bag isn't described correctly, but I don't believe it should be reported to Ebay. In line with what I posted a few paragraphs above this, I will NOT authenticate any of that seller's items. But I want the seller's history to be available and searchable.

Hyacinth · Jun 12, 2022

And one last (maybe!) comment about the above, before my blood pressure goes completely off the chart...

Posted by BB on June 15, 2013:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.818914/page-82#post-24811729

"...The thing that really ticks me off is that (in my opinion), the seller, botticelli4grace knows Coach, knows which pictures are necessary for authentication purposes and in her listings for other authentic items, she has clear and definitive pictures showing the necessary details to prove authenticity.

The fact that her pictures in this listing showed no hardware, no creeds and not even any pictures showing the full bags told me that she was clearly attempting to hide the fact that items were fake. There are minimal descriptions and no serial numbers..."

but in that CURRENT listing being discussed she posts TWICE with the serial number M20-9790 right in front of her nose:

Year Manufactured: UNKNOWN

2002 or 1992 not sure

So, nine years later and heaven knows how many "Coaches", real and fake, she's listed and sold, she still has either never bothered to learn how to read a damned Coach serial number, or, because she doesn't apparently care if her descriptions are right or her items are genuine, it's just not important.

OK, rant over. Karma, it's your turn.

Tilis · Jun 12, 2022

I did a search for her on tPF before posting her latest shenanigans and saw that she has a "name". I was not going to purchase anything from her after I saw the discrepancy in her posting.

That's the smart thing to do. It gets more complicated when some shady sellers use multiple IDs but your question gave me a chance to make sure that information about both her current and past Ebay IDs was available here to search. It amazes me that she's still doing business on Ebay.

Please remember though, to get a firm authentication at the Authenticate This Coach thread if you're not sure before you post here in the Hall Of Shame thread. We always want to be sure that any item mentioned here deserves to be reported.

Interestingly, Ebay seller urvintagestory also had the same fake reported and removed from ebay on May 26.

Knowing it's fake after having been removed, the same seller on Etsy, UrVintageStory chose not to end the listing on Etsy for another 2.5 weeks.

I don't think Etsy removes listings. I think the seller ended it knowing she'd already been caught by Ebay.

2 weeks later and Mercari still hasn't taken down Emmascloset's fake.

A search of the forum for multiple IDs (including the 3 above which include 3 of the 4 being reported today) shows that Japanese sellers think they're immune from the consequences of listing and the removals of fakes.

Today I have 3 different IDs selling the same fake Korean-made item and IIRC, it's been reported and removed in the past.
