Artifacts or items from the ancient world, commonly extending to the fall of the Roman Empire or the Middle Ages. As stated above, there are many ways collectors and dealers define antiques. On eBay collectibles, it's most acceptable to consider an item that's 100 years old or older as being an antique. Anything a collector feels is worth collecting, regardless of age. Using this definition, a vintage collectible could be any collectible from 1989 or earlier.
Most vintage collectibles are also secondary market items.
Once the year 2000 is here, these definitions may need to be redefined, but for now, these definitions work well. Look through the major Collectibles categories. If you don't see a separate category for your item under Antiques, but you do see one in Collectibles, look or list it here first.
