Mechanical Music Listings at eBay

Funny, every time I see those words in a heading, it says to me that the
seller doesn't know what they have.  Especially "vintage" -- it doesn't
mean "this is old", especially when applied to something from 1973
(unless it's wine).  Those words usually project what the seller would
like something to be, not what it really is.  Stick to a factual
description and leave the adjectives out.  Your buyers will find the
item anyway.
