I've been asking for authentication on almost all the ones I'm interested in recently because I'm so very new to this that I don't want to waste my money. I know I'm running the risk of having another member buy get to it before I do, but personally, I wouldn't do that to another someone, so I guess I'm just hoping someone wouldn't do it to me. If they do, I guess they just want it more than I do.

Hehehe.. I've bid on an item and came here to find you were already asking for authenticating the item. :)

That's what I've been hoping, but then I think, "It is the Internet." I've also been thinking, we are all interested in different styles of bags. I don't worry about us so much as I do the people just reading the posts. Now, I think I'm just way over thinking this. I am the one who bought the crispy duffle sac. Who would want that???

Someone who loves bags with lots of character! Do a search on eBay for "distressed vintage Coach" and see what comes up. Check the sold listings too. I think that even though it needs a lot of TLC, your crispy duffle sac could turn out fine.

Oh I love the Crispy too!
I mostly buy from thrift stores but when I buy online I rarely get things authenticated beforehand. My pockets aren't deep enough to compete with The Internet! I'm also a newbie, so I use thread archives to make comparisons to known genuines - from same yr/plant where possible - before I bid. Much more work but a *very* effective way to learn! I practice this while thrifting and it gets easier & faster. I def. get everything authenticated after I buy, though.

:loveeyes:So tempting! But, I'm on Ban Island right now with one auction pending and two rehabs on the way.

No one saved me from myself in time! I made an offer for it, and the seller accepted. I'm so excited to get this bag! I have a couple leather watermelon totes in my rehab pile that need some work. I'm excited to have a suede one that looks to be in such great shape.

Cool! I'm glad you got it. It does look to be in nice condition.

Looks very nice indeed. I haven't seen one in comparable condition in quite a while. Enjoy!
