Etsy shop Gloriouspark resells bottles full of adult beverages too new to be vintage "for collectible purposes". It seems anything goes when #etsysellsvintage

Saw this set of 4 bottles of bourbon in a paid listing (Ad) on the first page (most relevant) of Vintage listings on Etsy tonight.  Listed by Gloriouspark whose shop was activated in 2017, but has never sold anything.  The listing is from 2 days ago, January 11, 2020.

Other than being at the top of Etsy's list of prohibited items because they are full of bourbon (it's alcohol, duh), the 4 bottles aren't all 20+ years old.  The listing's title clearly states the 4 bottles are (each) 10, 15, 20, and 23 years old.




Once again, the misinformation provided to the seller community by Etsy CEO Josh Silverman is proven to be a pack of lies.  There is no AI code programmed to flag listings for prohibited items, like this one, and alert the Marketplace Integrity Team.
