Just listed today, this set of brand new makeup brushes is one of the most relevant items in Etsy search results for all Vintage items. As I type, 5 units have already been sold from this listing, with 47 "vintage" units in stock. The (re)seller is CometDepot could definitely teach a thing or two to the silly Etsygirls asking in the Forums for help in making sales with a new Etsy shop!

As all my readers should know by now, Etsy considers PDFs to be "vintage" as long as the content of the file is at least 20 years old. Likewise, a photocopy of any vintage paper item you can make at your local big box office supply store is "vintage" on Etsy. Taking full advantage of the twisted guidelines of the Etsyverse, this PDF of a knitting pattern dated to the 1920s sold by patternsalacarte is one of the most relevant items today in an Etsy search for all Vintage items.
The only photo included in the listing is shown above -- note that there is no information in the image that dates the pattern to the 1920s. Even more hilarious, the seller has "completely" rewritten the instructions and added a list of resources for purchasing the purse frame -- so what is for sale is a contemporary knitted purse pattern based on a (maybe?) design from the 1920s. Listed as a "vintage handmade supply from the 1920s" which is, of course, an impossibility.
