Ebay or Etsy or ?

[shopgirl61]

Hi Ladies,

I have been really wanting to get some (new to me) vintage clothing well, ebay has me less than impressed these days because they have allowed the posting of so called 'retro, vintage look' you know, the cheap junk that comes from china and manages to steal the word vintage! ugh.. i've also checked out etsy but the stuff there appears to be higher in price.

I am going to be having surgery on the 28th of this month and will have a down time of 5 wks afterwards so, i really want to shop online since i won't be able to get out much.

I sure could use some ideas? if you have links or places I can check, feel free to message me here or http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1378225337

Well, there is no either or. There are too many places to buy online that I dont see a definitive place to go. We have talked exhaustively about online shopping and here are a few well established threads that are worth looking through.

Then there is always the etsy sticky at the top of this forum.

Plus there is classifieds of this board. There are always deals to be had there.

There are real gems of info in those threads.
Search a bit, there are tons of places to shop. A basic google search works, too. Ive found a lot of stuff just doing random key word searches. It seems like you will have a lot of time, now you can be an investigative shopper

Good luck!

Thanks LD ~
I should have thought before posting that there were old threads on the subject.
