Vintage / thrift SERP pack: same sticker on Etsy and eBay using only locked KEEP hubs. On $100, Etsy organic first-paint KEEP is $90.05; eBay is $86.00 from the most-categories lock ($4.05 gap to Etsy). We do not invent a vintage-only eBay FVF — if Seller Hub shows a different antiques/vintage rate, type it on /ebay-keep/. Ranked board: vintage where to sell (also Mercari $90.00 · Poshmark $80.00).
