Seen on eBay today:
"Vintage Goya A-Style Mandolin. A very nice mandolin. Uncertain of its age, it appears to be from the 70's."
Ok so yeah I'm an old geezerette, but still, IMO the 1970s hardly qualifies as vintage.
Am I being too cynical in thinking that people tack the word "vintage" onto anything and everything just to get a higher price out of it? So is this the new 'thing' to do, to label stuff as vintage when it's (a) not even all that old and (b) probably wasn't even worth much in the first place?
Maybe I should start saving our dryer lint. In a mere few years, that lint will be "vintage" and therefore worth a lot of money.
