Ebay can be tricky. They will call stuff from the 80's "vintage".
I think that word definition is changing, at least in my experience.
I look for scissors every once in a while. Whoda thunk? Anyway, I see the Chinese scissors labeled antique all the time. I have four pairs I paid a buck each for about 15 years ago and you can buy them brand new at Harbor Freight for 3 bucks. Some antique. I even saw some fancy gold handle ones at the sewing expo last month. A little rust does not make an antique.
