this one cracks me up- they're selling "vintage" everything out there now. I guess it's the new buzzword for making something crappy sound desirable.

Hardly new, sellers have been using "vintage" in ebay titles for years. Don't like the word "crappy" as a replacement, though... "Crappy old bedspread" or "Crappy eggbeater" probably wouldn't do all that well

At the beginning of game shows they always ask the contestant to tell a little about themselves and they always say "I'm married to my wonderful husband "whoever" and have three lovely children"... Just once I'd like to hear "I have a crappy deadbeat husband Joe and three brats from hell, and that's why I'm on this game show to get bus fare back to momma".

A very ambigious word. Websters 7th New Collgiate Dictionary "vintage, adj., Of old recognized and enduring interest, importance or quality" So if it is old?? it must be "vintage" I guess that makes me "vintage" LOL

I guess it really depends on how old you are. To someone who is 25 years old, a vintage or antique item might be 30 or 35 years old. I'm older than that, and something that old is just old stuff to me.
