Etsy: home to personalized jewelry, quirky semi-homemade furniture, bootleg fandom merchandise and, surprisingly, super seasonal, rare-to-America fruit
selling a baffling array of merchandise.) Both shops’ prices change with the seasons — as of the time I’m writing, GreatPlentifulShopCA lists a 2.5 pound shipment for $60 plus $20 shipping, and FreshFloridaFruit’s price has jumped to $48 for a 2 pound shipment with free shipping.
On June 20, the shipment from GreatPlentifulShopCA arrived in a mailing pack. This time, the mangosteens were stored in another plastic bag labeled with a sticker that asked the receiver to cut the plastic and let the fruit air out to dispel odors accumulated during shipping. These fruit were noticeably larger, with 3-inch diameters. A few of the fruit had dents. Nevertheless, with newly high expectations, my partner cut one open, and then the rest.
A few days before my first Etsy mangosteens arrived, I went to Berkeley Bowl and hunted down their single seasonal mangosteen basket. I had to make do with the three that were left. These mangosteens were once again priced at around $8 per pound and were notably marked as a non-irradiated import from Mexico. They were about as small as the ones I received from FreshFloridaFruit, but two of those Berkeley Bowl fruit were completely rotted inside, leaving nothing but a dark purple goop.
