FAQ

1. Why is this site so basic?

A: The internet is overwhelmed with glossy AI-assisted "content" that takes minutes to create. This site is not any of those things. It is the basic elements needed for a website, made by people, for people.

2: Why not make a fancy website?

A: A long time ago online there used to be websites like this all over. Basic sites that provided information, written by people, that reflected them and their lives and their obsessions. Those websites were lost in the tsunami that transmuted everything online into grist. We don't agree with that process. Individual websites should reflect individuals, not the platforms that we as small business owners are now shackled.

3: Isn't using Ebay a bit hypocritical to your anti-platform stance?

A: Good question. I would love to have the technical capacity, mental, and physical bandwidth to self-host our sales platform. Unfortunately that's not possible due to the complexity of modern commerce. With Ebay, customers can find us without even seeing this magnificent website or reading this FAQ. You can easily give us your address and I can ship to you in a seamless dream of trade. We have this website at least, and they can't take that from us, can they?

4: What are you trying to sell me?

A: This is the website of S & S Vintage. S & S Vintage is a store run by a husband and wife from Chicago, Illinois. All our vintage, unique goods are hand-curated for people. Visit our Ebay store and if you like something, buy it. We will ship it to your house. Hopefully it will bring a bit of joy to your life.
