Hey there all you wonderful ladies. I'm a 26 year old guy who buys/sells/trades at flea markets and trade/barter faires as a hobby and I came across way too good of a potential deal to pass up (these three items traded for a kids bike and a box of $1-$2 DVDs.) I'm new to the forums, and I just have a few questions about a few items. Now, I already did a bit of research on eBay, especially on my phone before making the trade. Just hoping a few of you can validate that the 2 purses are indeed real, and shed some light on the wallet!

Thanks in advance for your help, i quickly browsed the forum posting rules and I don't think this thread is breaking any rules......but if I posted it in the wrong spot please feel free to move it to the correct forum/sub-form moderator!

#1- The Sketchy wallet- No ID Tags, No Serial Numbers....but smells like real leather if that helps? ^^

#2- My research has shown that this is along the lines of a "Coach Chelsea w/ Gold Trim" Serial: M1076-F15137

#3- This one was a bit more tricky(near impossible) to find info online for. The purse seems way to intricate to be faked correctly, and the stitching is perfect through the whole purse and it has the real leather feel and smell....but the serial looks a bit sketch to me? Serial: M3U-729

I have that wallet, my hubby bought it for me at an outlet. It's real. It's an Ashley ( Ashley was a made for factory stores line ) perforated leather accordian wallet.
The 2nd is also real, and made for factory.
The last one is fake, fake, fake. Throw it away...it is illegal to sell it.

Wasn't planning on selling, most likely......was probably gonna give to the girlfriend. Thanks for your guys' time! =]

It is illegal everywhere to sell fakes. If you list it on ebay, it will be removed and your ebay account could be closed if you have multiple infractions.

Make your girlfriend happy and give her the real ones, but still toss the fake. Fakes aren't something you can wear confidently and proudly (at least for most people... and others who see it will know it's fake). Even better, take her to an outlet and let her pick out the real thing.There are lots of good sales there right now. :cool:

It is illegal because it's a trademark violation. They're pretty strict about that and it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Haha, she will most likely be getting the real purse, the wallet is really not her style, coach or not. And as far as taking her to an outlet.......well one purse is enough for right now, shes drowning in purses and handbags, some of which ive never seen her even use ^^

Gotcha, thanks for the info!
