is it me ?

I sell fine jewelry and also vintage jewelry

all vintage jewelry is listed as ' Vintage " and if i can date it thats in there also, I also give the condition, sooooooooo......

I get an email wanting to know if I can get 10 of these brooches

I understand that vintage usually means limited, somewhat rare or at least not easy to find

don't most people understand this???

People are used to the fake vintage stuff on ebay and other places where you can buy several of each item.

My Mom deals in vintage and antique jewelry at our local flea market and she gets people who get mad because the item they wanted is gone when they come back weeks/months later.    I guess they think the same thing - that she has a bunch of each of them lying around somewhere.

Guess they fall into the same category as the person who contacted me to know if she could get a set of vintage handmade patchwork place mats in other colors? HUH?

that's why i wonder if I'm wording right in my descriptions.

I had a good one on Ebay a few years ago.
Sold a vintage Orphan Annie necklace
explained that it was from 1980 what ever
woman bought it, left me negative feedback
said the clear box cover was discolored and that I could have at least taken off the original price tag of .99


WHAT????
em her back and forth before she finally got it that this was NOT a new item, never said it was new told the date and condition , had " Vintaqge " in title and listing and when she finally actually Read the description agreed to drop the FB

SHeesh I am sure there are lots of people out there who just look at the pics and never read description

okay that's my little rant for the day

No it is not US !! It's those that cannot read, or do not read. They see the word Vintage at Daytons, Macys, Herbergers, Pennys and so on. But they do not see that there is also the word 'style', or 'like' some where there too. I get the same ones in the antique mall all the time. The ones I like is when you tell someone it is Victorian, before 1910 and they ask if it is old.

What I have to jog my brain on is that stuff from the 1980's is now 'vintage' its 20-25 years old now, and a lot of the young ladies are coming into the mall to buy it, they want the big necklaces now. But of course they only want to spend $1.00- $10.00.

We just have to try and educate them. Have you notice that the buyers on Ebay non readers too?
