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