    To call something vintage when it's vintage inspired or vintage-style but new .... is tantamount to false advertising.
    I just hope that you never look for "genuine leather" items on eBay :-)

    The problem is that the word "vintage" doesn't have a precise definition, but sellers will use it in preference to "old second-hand" for obvious reasons.
