There was an e-bay add that was pretty funny that I thought would generate some good discussion. So there was this old but in good condition stuffed animal that some one put vintage in front of to make sound better to hopefully sell. I thought it was pretty funny considering that it was clearly a former v-day gift that this person was trying to make some money off. Word to the wise just becuase it's old doesn't make it vintage. It's still just crap (I know some of the stuff isn't but you know what I'm talking about). Have you guys seen other "vintage" items and when what are you thinking? Please share.

an 'antique' is an object that is at least 100 years old and 'vintage' is something that is more recent. they prolly put the tag 'wintage' on the item to make it sound better...you are smart to go with your gut feeling.

I need more vintage and antiques to sell. It takes time to find things to sell and time to list them. The rates are high and sometimes you don't make much.
