Funny Ebay Search Stats
5,939 "unique" vintage clothing items found on Ebay.
Which is amusing because at 5,939, there are more "unique" items than "rare" items, which clocked in at 5,726.
Ebay's search tool is essential to finding good vintage. It does take a bit of work to know how to tweak a search to find what you want, as vintage clothing sellers uncounted (at least by me) offer vintage gems incomparable.
There are a lot of overused adjectives, nouns, and phrases in vintage fashion listings. Some have evolved to be keywords and were effective, but have lost efficacy when sellers mindlessly clamber aboard a good thing, regardless of whether it really applies to her or his 1920s evening gown, 1950s retro purse, or Edwardian parasol. There's a lot more vintage clothing kicking around from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s (you get the idea), so the competition between sellers can be fierce, because it's more of a buyers market. "Description abuse" occurs more frequently with these decades.
