I have also seen numerous 'new' items on ebay advertised as 'vintage' and have thought of emailing the sellers to tell them they were guilty of false advertising. But first I consulted my dictionary and was surprised by what I found.

Websters defines vintage as: 'representative of or dating from a period long past'

Therefore, if an item is representative of an old item it is technically 'vintage'.
