How much can you make for old magazines on Ebay?

Question

Like TeenPeople, which is no longer in print? My issues are from 2003-2005 and are in excellent condition.

How much can I make for an individual copy?

Would you recommend selling them in groups?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The best thing to do would be to look up the same magazines that you're trying to sell on ebay or amazon and see what other sellers are asking. Since they're not very old, there probably won't be much of a demand though. Teen People isn't really an "in demand" magazine. If you tried to sell them in 20 years someone might be interested.

Answer 2

Only complete idiots would buy them! (There are plenty of those on ebay so sell the mags!)

Answer 3

Why should someone pay anything for old magazines when they can be read for free in any medical waiting room?

Answer 4

not very much.  They arent exactly collectors items.  I'd try to sell them in a group, personally.  Its a lot to manage, a whole lot of auctions for single magazines, for which you could possibly get maybe a quarter apiece.  Plus, any buyer wouldnt want to spend much on shipping, and it would be more to do them all individually.  I'd just put them in one big lot and sell them.  You never know, for three years worth, you might get $5 or so.

Answer 5

My advice, put them in a bag, but the bag in a box and then save them for another 10 years. Depending on what celebrities are on them and etc. they could go for a lot later. You never know!
