Etsy Forums post asks Handmade or Vintage? And the dumb bunny seller community gets it wrong! #etsysellsvintage

Here's the thread:  Handmade or Vintage? It's over 10,000 years old.....but.....

The original post includes a link to an article at Siberian Times about an artisan who created a hat from 10,000 year old mammoth hair.

So, it's not 10,000 years old.  It's not even 20 years old (Etsy Vintage).  It's actually new, and Handmade.

But 4 of the dumb bunnies in the thread keyboard-titter moronically about it being "SUPER MEGA VINTAGE" -- which is EtsyverseSpeak for new Handmade.

Which is why Etsy's mendacious Marketplace Integrity Team revised the site's listing process to allow sellers to backdate new craft projects made with older materials into Vintageville.

And that's how #etsysellsvintage.
