I really loved Etsy and felt like the buyers on Etsy who appreciate the fine quality of unique art pieces were also very likely to be the same buyers who would appreciate the value of fine vintage items. But, I'm tired of messing around over there! I was a vintage seller on Etsy but after the new rules posted on March first I moved my shop.

I don't have the latest details, but I know they've been thinking about eliminating the vintage category to concentrate more exclusively on handmade items. So order now, because the vintage shop you want to buy from may not be there later! (You should be able to find more information on the "blog" link on the bottom of all etsy pages.)
