Sometimes, I will look at Etsy to see the difference in pricing from eBay, if it is something I want to purchase. In every case, Etsy's pricing is generally, well, unimaginably overpriced. I also collect and service vintage typewriters. A bland and run-of-the-mill machine that at max might be $75 on eBay will turn up on Etsy for between $300-900. Nuts.

Yes.

Same with almost everything else vintage on there. Oil lamps are a good belly laugh too.
