What's the deal with 'new antiques'?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33446points) 1 day ago

I drove past an antique shop in Northeast Georgia this weekend – they had a nig red and white sign “New Antiques Received Weekly”.

Isn’t that an oxymoron? Can antiques be new?

To me it means new to the store. I don’t really see another way to parse it.

I agree. They update their inventory weekly!!!

Time moves inexorably forward, so everything that exists, unless it is destroyed, will inevitably become an “antique”, someday.
