Etsy made a big mistake when they allowed vintage items on the site. What they did was completely remove all traces of meaning from the word "vintage." They say that to be "vintage," an item must be at least 20 years old. That apparently includes old-half used plastic children's watercolors, random bricks, cracked vases and hokey $78 gnomes. And it means that all of the goodness that used to be there is completely drowned under a whole lot of crap.
And don't even get me started as to how bad they are at shutting down copycats and people selling "handmade" things from a factory in china.
Thank god there's Regretsy.
