i recently have won several coach key chains on ebay.  Some were very nice and authenic, but the rest were damaged and fake.  Most of the damaged key chains were on the back there would be rusty globs on the backside. Make sure that there are several veiw of the items if you do not want damaged ones.  The poorly made fakes came from sellers with private feedback so that people cannot read it, so don't buy from poeple with private feedbacks because they may be hiding something. The key chains were from different sellers and all came from different sellers at about $14 and all in coach boxes and tissue paper and only 3/6 were authentic or undamaged. Sellers in the US are most reliable and are less likely to sell fakes.  Fakes are most likely to come from mass producing countries like Taiwan, Japan, China (even though some the real ones are made there, so are the fakes.) Remember sometimes you can get a good deal on authentic items, but most of the time you get what you pay for.
