I got a great deal this blue Rambler's Legacy: $9.99 plus $6.50 shipping. It think it was mistakenly listed as a Buy It Now instead of an auction. Also the seller's pictures weren't showing up in the search results. I clicked and viewed the item and the pictures showed up.

I love the color, and the leather is very soft and pliable (made in China, 2004). The size works for me because of the pockets. I can fit 2 pairs of glasses, a small wallet, coin purse, cell phone and keys. It's a very functional, cute everyday bag that I've been wanting to try on, and I'm glad I did. "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Beautiful! I love this purse. I tried it in burgundy (love) and it was a little small for me or something, idk, but I love the look of it! And the blue is to die for!

Howdy, all. Looks like I'm a new recruit to Coach! I was never really into purses, but some weeks ago I happened across a surprisingly nice bag on rack of cheapie purses at Goodwill. It was so heavy, and made of such nice leather, I decided that even if it were a fake it would be a good deal just as a nice leather bag, so I bought it for $30. I came home and found this forum, and started reading and learning a bit. The other day (in the same Goodwill), I found a pretty blue bag on a rack of cheapie purses. It contained a matching wallet, so after a quick perusal of the known fake serial numbers here, I bought them, too. $30 for the set. Lucky for me, all three have been deemed okay on the Authentication thread! Now it's time to really clean them up and do some rehab on the blue Soho.

The black Willis is in very good shape. The blue Soho satchel is dirty and has wear, and a little damage. The matching wallet is also pretty grimy. The leather is so nice on all of them. I feel fortunate that I managed to luck into the real thing, although the prices were probably a bit steep.

Anyway, I think I am kind of feeling addicted to hunting for Coach bargains out there. I've been peering into this thread and getting inspired!

Great finds and welcome to TPF and a very addicting hobby :). The rescue and rehab thread has wonderful tips and tricks on how to rehab your finds. I learn something new each time I visit.
 
I picked this beauty up for $17 and now I finally have a home for my T charm and my legacy stripe accessories. The leather is soft and smooshy after conditioning and I love the distressed look.:biggrin:
Love this bag! I have one as well but in camel. It's a favourite of mine. I would love to see your legacy stripe accessories. It's my favourite Coach pattern, that and the Tattersall. I only have a legacy wristlet but I look at the accessories all the time on eBay.

Aku_no_Hana we must have been on a similar wavelength this spring because I just found your Ergo's cousin at Goodwill earlier this week for $29.99!

OmGosh I LOVE this bag! I bet you will too. The lining of course is amazing and you can carry so much but it's so lightweight! Yours looks never used! Mine needed a little bath but it was worth it. Congrats on your find!

Thank you! The lining is so nice and silky, and I agree, I think whoever had this bag and donated it maybe used it a handful of times, but it's in gorgeous shape. Yay for eagle eyes and the wonderful authenticators at tPF for verifying authenticity!

Oof, we went to Goodwill today and I came home with four Coach pieces (authentic thanks to @whateve and @Hyacinth!). The Campbell Hobo was $14.99 and the Hampton's Clip Hobo was $9.99. Really had to dig in the luggage section to find some of these as everything but the Hampton's were stuffed down there instead of amongst the purses!

Excellent finds! The Campbell hobo was apparently the predecessor to the other 3 compartment bags that looks like it, such as the Carlyle.
