Non vintage items on etsy

Im getting red in the face..im feeling faint and I kind of feel like im going to throw up but not before I break something..Im that upset ..

Why you might ask?
Because being a true vintage nut and finding non vintage items all over etsy is driving me insane..

its been going on for awhile now but its only gotten worse..

to be honest I had always thought it was horrible to report someone or message them to tell them they are doing something wrong..I have always been like mind your own business but finally I snapped it started with Mighty Muggs and brand new Star wars bobble heads from Toys r us

next I found a repro Rainbow Brite..

I messaged the owner of this....repro to tell him that it was, he is a guy so I thought that maybe he just didn't understand Rainbow Brite but it turns out the guy was just a scumbag who loves money and doesn't mind lieing to his customers he didn't want to know the truth about his doll so despite the fact that he now knows he has kept it up for sale.

Compare

Rainbow Brite had Orange hair and her Sprite Twink was fabric not plastic ( plus everything about that Rainbow Brite is wrong just wrong )
also I sent the guy several links proving to him but he still said I was wrong..

Next we have this wonderful collectible vintage treasure that the shop owner claims is from the 1960s ,,,,really how dumb does she think we are..Shrek came out in 2001 and I forget what year they had the baby but its even later than 2001.

McDonald's Collectible Glass Shrek Forever After "Fiona" Glass

Only 1 available

Please select from the available options

Overview

Vintage item from the 1960s
Material: Glass
Feedback: 6 reviews
Only ships within United States.

This shop accepts Etsy Gift Cards

So when etsy asked her what year it was made she totally just lied and said 1960.,,,some people..

Next ..someone else who "thinks" that Shrek is vintage ....
this is getting old and im getting madder
check it out

From the same shop we have some repro care bears

Compare to the Original deal

Next we have someone who is either very bold or very stupid because they posted a Furby with the actual 1998 date

Next up is a shop that is so very bold that it makes me throw up a little
the shop is almost all new toys Heres a late 2000 era MLP

And yet another Furby I like what they have to say about it

16 inches great shape.. not new.. made in 1999.. cute chubby fella
Bodly stating that it is made in 1999 and apparently since its not new that makes it vintage in there eyes,
We also have from there store a teletubbie they came out in 1997

As much as I love Pokémon it doesn't belong in the vintage section its not vintage yet..im not that old..

When you see an non vintage item on etsy report them

I cannot share the names of the shops as I have been threatened by an unhappy person

Keep it vintage :)

EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC toy adventure

So last Tuesday my mom took me to some flea markets in Arkansas ..I usually have 0 luck flea marketing in that area but this time it was different ..
The first flea market we went to was a medium sized one and that I had been to before but never found anything

but this time it had some goodies

First up my new squeak toys
bought from both flea markets and etsy and ebay

Funny little doll..I like her eyes that's why I bought her

Really great retro kitsch fabric not sure who made it ( do you know Victoria???? )

I spent most of my money on this stuff and a few others things I didn't take pictures of because I didn't think the second flea market would be any better..but I have a cool mom who offered to give me more money in trade for some cleaning :)

So the next one was large and maze like it was in a really depressing nursing home
so each booth was its own room pretty neat.
There were even rooms that only had toys so I was in complete heaven!

Vintage glo friends ..I love them! ..I love anything that's glows!

Vintage MLP Banana Surprise she was a bit grubby when I found her but I was able to clean her up
all but a couple of small spots...she looks great now :)

Some little dolls a Pee wee uneeda doll and 2 others

My favorite find of the day a very kitsch doll she is large and so very cute

just look at that face :) So so cute!!

So at the end of the day I owed my mom 2 house cleanings and I didn't even finish looking through the whole place..I actually got Josh to take me back on Saturday and I found even more wonderful items!

Kenner littlest pet shop chimp :)

a bag of toys that I bought just because it had Pikachu ..I already have this one so Ill do something crafty with this :)

Vintage hello kitty tooth brush holder sooooooooooooooo cute

Large bendy rabbit

little finger puppet doll

I for some reason couldn't get the best picture of this I got it in a bag of stuff and it goes with Galoob So Small Babies.

My favorite find of the day a bag of Sweet Secrets toys! LOVE them

Precious places toys ( I need to do more research on them )

Scooby doo toys ( keeping ) my favorite cartoon ever so im glad to have these

Rainbow brite and the 1980s

I love 80s stuff..but unfortunately I didnt get to see much of the 80s..I was born in 1988

One of the things I love most is Rainbow Brite as a little girl I wanted to be rainbow brite and I pretended my horse was starlite the most wonderful horse in the universe.
I had a rainbow belt and my dad rented the movies for me all the time.

( me age 5)

As a kid I was sick most of the time and didnt get out much..but the bright colors always cheered me up.

I had a rainbow brite night gown and I remember I wanted the doll so bad!
My parents finally took me on a very long flea marketing trip searching and searching for it until we finally found one she was a smallish one and in good shape.
Times passed and I have no idea where that doll went..But recently my mom bought me a large newer one at a flea market and I also found a vintage 1983 18 inch one that I have up for sale in my shop.

Last christmas I was lucky enough to receive a dvd box set from my husband.
When we were dating I introduced him to the cartoon ( he had never heard of it ) and he introduced me to Scooby doo and the Boo Brothers :)
