Members Curbstrap2 Posted January 12, 2010 Members Report Posted January 12, 2010 I have some tack I have collected/accumulated over the years that I would like to put up for sale. These probably won't appeal to the average rider, but would be appreciated by collectors. Can someone suggest a good resource for this other than eBay or craigslist? Thanks.

Contributing Member Denise Posted January 13, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 13, 2010 Curbstrap, Sorry I can't hep answer your question, but maybe you can answer one of mine. What is the internet definition of "vintage"? I see the term used but haven't been able to peg a time period to go with it. Dictionary definition of vintage as an adjective just says "of a past period". So is there a specific time period where things start getting called vintage or is it just internet talk for old and used? Quote

VINTAGE: representing the high quality of a past time, generally 20 to 99 years old. Characterized by maturity, and enduring appeal; classic. Sometimes inappropriately used to loosely define something 'old'. ANTIQUE: any work of art, piece of furniture, decorative object, or the like, created or produced in a former period, or according to U.S. Customs laws, 100 years before the date of purchase. COLLECTIBLE: an object suitable for a collection including any of a wide variety of items collected as a hobby, for display, or as an investment whose value may appreciate.

Contributing Member Denise Posted January 13, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for the definitions, Curbstrap. I appreciate it! I really have wondered. So anything earlier than 1990 is now "vintage". Wow... VINTAGE: representing the high quality of a past time, generally 20 to 99 years old. Characterized by maturity, and enduring appeal; classic. You know, even with that postive a definition, I still don't want to call myself "vintage"... Quote
