Magazines are a BIG business on ebay. It's the main part of our business, and we often have an overflow with tremendous value. We sell these in lots online to many other ebay sellers, looking to make money themselves.
Buying to Resell the whole magazine:
Pre-1960 is generally the best for individual resale, though it does vary from title to title.
-
Make sure to type in the whole date when listing the item, many people buy magazines for the exact date of birthdays and anniversaries.
-
The more information, the higher the chance of selling: Go through the table of contents and list a few articles and even the journalist's names. List a few ads. This increases the chance of two people wanting one magazine for different reasons
Buying to resell Advertisements:
Many people buy the advertisements only and frame them.
-
When cutting the ad, cut oversized. This allows your buyers to then trim it down the size they want for framing.
-
Fortune and Saturday Evening Post magazines have a very healthy amount of ads.
Happy Selling! Be sure to check out our store for great inventory!
