Someone reselling sealed leather bounds on Etsy at 476% markup

I was browsing Etsy today and ran across someone selling a sealed Elantris signed leather bound edition for $595. That’s a 476% markup, freaking insane.

When I looked at what else they sell I also found sealed signed leather bounds of…
- WoA : $595
- Warbreaker : $295 & $695

I even saw a regular 2005 $20 hardcover of Elantris being sold for $499

If this was on EBay it would be one thing, but Etsy?!? They are claiming they are “vintage” products which they really aren’t and I report the ones I find but I don’t know if that’s doing anything. Isn’t this illegal? It’s like scalping concert tickets or something.
