Observation

In the world of eBay, there's no such thing as an "old" bicycle. Everything a few years old is "vintage."

I think I'll use this term for all my other material items that I previously thought of as just plain old.

Honey, we don't need a new rug – this one is vintage!

I don't think we should repaint the living room – I don't want to cover up the vintage paint that's already on the walls.

Sure, these sneakers smell funky. But I can't throw them away – they're vintage!
