Ebay seller "willowbrookantiques" claims her items are vintage and estate items, though most are available brand new from Chinese jewelry dealers selling the identical items for a fraction of the price. Here is an example, a necklace she says is designer and sells to vintage jewelry collectors in the "Vintage & Antique" jewelry category for $88 ( **************), though countless Chinese dealers sell the identical item for $6 including shipping (see item ************** for example). Here's another example, a gold buckle cuff bracelet she says is an "estate" find, and sells in the vintage and antique category for $52, it's always available brand new by dozens of Chinese sellers for $7 including shipping (see item ************** for example). Here is another example, a lipstick shaped purse that she says is " incredibly unique" and just sold for $56 (see item **************) is always available brand new for $12 from a variety of Chinese sellers (see ************** for example). In looking through her auction history I have found countless examples of her "estate" items being readily available new for $6 or so dollars by countless Chinese sellers, this includes some of her "designer" items (like Oscar de la Renta necklaces she's sold for hundreds of dollars, they are "signed" with only a hang tag that's made from a color of metal that doesn't match the necklace. You can find the same necklaces selling for $10 from China, only the Chinese sellers don't pretend their are designer). Do some research before buying anything from this seller, odds are you can find her vintage "estate" jewelry being sold from a variety of Chinese sellers, listed honestly and at a fraction of the price.

Etsy gets a lot of negative reviews for the way it treats buyers, but the way is treats its sellers is even worse. If you have stuff to sell, sell it on eBay or any of the other sites, Etsy is run by a horrible man who has a very child-throwing-a-tantrum method of dealing with sellers who express concerns. There's no mystery as to why this company hasn't turned a profit in years, their customer service and seller support are a joke, SHOP AND SELL ELSEWHERE.
