Back to the Future (Vintage style)
I just want to make sure that I correct about this before I flag an item or contact the seller. I found a digital camera that is tagged as "vintage". Digital cameras are not 20+ years old, are they? The camera is made to look like a vintage camera, but I don't think it can actually be labeled vintage. Am I wrong?

made to look vintage, close enough for etsy. sell it!
well, we had a Dage MTI in the lab in 1988...but those were huge monstrosities, B/W, and 400X400. was it one like that" :-)
I think not?
maybe it's a supply, for taking photos of your items ?!?!?!?!?
yeah, and here's some swamp land in Arizona. . . .
Oh Andy - swampland in Arizona? Are you selling it? I might be interested...
:)
I have swampland; I'm in AZ! come visit - and bring your vintage camera!
Hey, is Etsy down for anyone else? I can't get in!
jeebus, it's STILL there. that shop is such garbage. i used to think calling out stuff like that in the forums would help get it removed from the site faster. what a delusion.
You can sell a sewing machine on Etsy. And I remember a thread quite a while ago about selling a used digital camera. As a supply. Don't remember Etsy ever coming in and saying no.
If they ignore it, they figure maybe it will go away and not bother them. I think it's an unwritten part of their mission statement.
They have allowed sellers to sell their used canopy for craft shows in the past. As long as it was tagged as supplies.
I might actually pay money to be a fly on the wall at Etsy headquarters right now. They have some serious PR issues on their hands right now and I just want to know if they're actually all sitting around thinking they're somehow in control of them or not...either they do...or things are UGLY backstage and we just aren't seeing it yet. I don't mean the ugly that we see in the Forum Thread locks and Storque stupidity. I mean the kind of ugly that comes when a new CEO arrives and the groundwork gets laid to fire half of the existing staff.
That doesn't explain the unaddressed PR mess though.
Jim Breyer can't seem to get any of his companies to walk the straight and narrow (is currently on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc (WMT), where he is the Lead/Presiding Independent Director, and Chairman of the Strategic Planning and Finance Committee.) or maybe he is showing them all how to walk a fine line while lying to your customer...

Guess Jim is teaching all the etsy.communists how to get around those pesky terms like vintage & handmade...
Way to knock it out of the ballpark, Jim...I'm sure ebay will love to purchase extra space for their mass consumerism.

Etsy needs to stop posing
Does anyone else ever feel like they are constantly being Rick Roll'd on Etsy?
I'm so tired of stupid.
Really.
This much stupid is enervating.
I mean..the collective stupid at Etsy HQ must be enough to slip someone in to a coma of stupid.
....Such a brilliant idea and so much money....in the hands of..well..them.
