BTW, all my stuff is era correct vintage AND it's in superb shape. Just like bikes; you have to know what, and where you're looking.
I'm all for vintage, don't get me wrong. Especially when it comes to audio equipment.
I fail to see the issue with something like furniture however. But maybe i'm just not snobby enough as far as furniture goes. I like me some good design work, but if I can get x herman miller product that is identical in production to y herman miller product for 10 times less because it's not 40 years old, i'll take the new one.
