About UsWelcome to The Vintage List, and thanks for clicking through to learn more about us!
My name is Mitzi, and I run my own business, Vintage Goodness (with a ton of help of my partner and main squeeze, Will), selling vintage online. The idea for The Vintage List came to me when I realized that the way vintage is being bought and sold online is changing - in the Web 2.0 world, buyers and sellers can no longer rely on just one shopping venue! Vintage shops are popping up all over the web, on various venues and on individual websites. I saw a real need for a way to bring all of these shops together, and The Vintage List was born! For Buyers: Vintage buyers and collectors are a savvy and passionate bunch - for most of us, it is more of a way of life than just a hobby or a passing fad! It is my hope that The Vintage List will become the first stop on every vintage geek's online treasure hunt, because they will know that sites listed here are of the highest quality, containing only authentic vintage merchandise from trusted sellers who make customer service their top priority. Each shop listed is personally looked over and approved by me, if they meet a set of pre-established standards: - 85% of their inventory is from the 1920's through the 1970's
- New inventory is added on a regular basis
- At least 20 items for sale at all times - Feedback scores are 95% and above on those venues that allow Feedback ratings
Also, the directory allows users to rate listings using a star system, and also to leave comments - it's a fun way to let shops know how they are doing, and to let other buyers know which shops you have had great experiences with! For Sellers: In the old online selling environment, most vintage sellers relied on one or maybe two venues for selling their wares. Traffic was pretty much built-in on the venues themselves. The changing landscape of Web 2.0 has caused a lot of sellers to expand their business onto multiple sites, as well as onto their own individual websites. Making these new shops known to buyers is a daunting task, but if we can come together as allies instead of as competitors, I believe the entire online vintage community will benefit. By listing our shops on one central directory, we can make it much easier for buyers to find us, and to find that special something that they are hunting for! Also, as a member you will be able to submit articles to The Vintage List blog, to highlight your business, promotions that you are running, or to share information about your area of expertise.
