I discovered the two shops were the same seller because they have some of the same (supposedly) vintage items listed in both shops, and the two shops have favorited many of each other's items. Oh, and I recognized this pair of Chinese import earrings from this decade as having been listed originally by 20thcenturydesignsny. Recognized, because who could forget these photos?
Seller claims these are "Vintage from before 2000" but they are contemporary, and you can still purchase them new on AliExpress for a dollar and change
Let's have a look at some of the items Goodtimesvtg lists as "vintage", along with sources to buy for less in case you really want any of these items. Remember: don't let a mendacious Etsy reseller rip you off!
Goodtimesvtg says this resin family sculpture on a wooden base is both "Mid century" and "Vintage from the 1980s". Since the 1980s are not the "mid" of any Century, one of these claims can't be true. Actually, both of them are deceptive: this is a contemporary product, from the early 21st Century.
Buy the same item on Amazon for less than $15, compared to the $35 price in Goodtimesvtg's shop.
This Chinese knock-off of a Scandinavian Modern ceiling lamp is priced at $249, and is pretending to be "Vintage from the 1970s".
With the discovery of the second shop, following the mendacious antics of this long time reseller has become twice as amusing.
