Ok, girls I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I too am a huge coach fan. I just started my collection a little over a year ago and so far I have 5 bags, 1wallet, a wristlet, a mini skinny, and a scarf. The best part being I haven't paid full price for any of it and I got it at the retail stores.

Four times a year coach has a friends and family event. You get 25% off just about everything in the store. You have to be invited to these, but if you know when the sale is taking place and go in and very quietly ask the sales associate for the discount they will usually give it to you. They work on commission. Also, being that I only purchase when they're having the sale and I always buy multiple items I'm on the list now and get the invite. The next sale will probably be in September as they just had one in June.

Finally, there's a purse forum on that gives you tons of information on pretty much all designer bags. They have threads explaining how to tell a fake from an authentic bag, which ebayers are selling real bags, who's having sales, all kinds of great information. Just do a search for purse forum and it should be the first listing.
