Vintage means different things to different people. The word is abused, IMO.
Plus, you don't know a guitar's condition until you or someone you trust can take a very close look, and assess. A "vintage" (let's say really old) instrument could be in very rough shape, which means a lot of repair work needed.
People do sell/buy guitars that are in rough shape all the time but the price paid will reflect work that's needed to make it playable; or more playable as it were.
And some (most?) people will always prefer a newer guitar. I don't think one can generalize across the population of potential guitar buyers there.
