How much are 1940s magazines worth?

Question

cuz ive got 3 crates of them an im planing on selling them on ebay.

Answer 1

It depends on the magazine.  Do you want to sell a bunch of them on eBay for a few bucks, only to see one of them in the news being sold for $100,000?

Consult someone who is qualified to assess their value, not a bunch of random people on the Internet!

Answer 2

$15 if there like alright 5 if they suck and 30 if theyre rare

Answer 3

Your description is too vague.

Magazines are collected by content. A magazine with a story by a famous writer is worth more than one with unknowns. A magazine with a cover by Norman Rockwell or John Salter will fetch more than one with an unknown. If there are exciting World War II pieces that will raise the level of interest. Characteristic advertisements of the periods are sometimes sought after.

Which magazines? _The Saturday Evening Post_? _Colliers?_ _National Geographics_ are worth very little--everyone saved them. _Coronet_ is not worth much, but _Jet_ has sociological interest. Scandal magazines (tattling sorts with Hollywood gossip) go for more than _Harpers._

I'm looking for a May 1947 _Mademoiselle_ and am prepared to pay for it. Other issues of that same magazine don't interest me. Probably there are other seekers of old magazines out there with similarly peculiar interests.
