Many people sell prints and advertisements, maps and other paper collectibles taken from vintage books and magazines on eBay. Much money can be made by selling these vintage ephemera on eBay. Once you have found a book with pictures and articles which you would like to sell on eBay, you are faced with the dilemma of whether it would be better to remove the profitable bits and pieces from the book and sell them separately or would you make more money by selling the whole book. It is best not to remove anything from the book. You can scan or photograph items you think will sell individually, maintaining those items intact inside the book or publication.

You should try and illustrate the items separately in your listing. If you receive bids for enough of these items and they are potential sellers, then remove them from the book and fulfill orders as separate items. In case none of them sell or the profits do not justify dismantling the book, then it’s better to cancel all bids and try and sell the whole book. The Amazon.com Marketplace is also another online site that offers an unmatched opportunity to sell old, used ...
... paperback or hardcover books.

Given below are a few tips that could help you to sell old magazines online that can boost your profits :

1. Sell the right magazines – Remember that not all magazines are popular with collectors. Only very old issues or leather bound volumes of National Geographic sell well online. Magazines like Time, Life, Fortune, Better Homes & Gardens , Good Housekeeping are some of the many magazines that have a steady demand from collectors.

2. Famous people – Several collectors are willing to pay lots of money for old magazines that feature their personal heroes, whether they are dead or alive – celebrities like the Beatles, John Denver or the Lone Ranger, sports stars like Michael Jordan, Roberto Clemente, or Vince Lombardi, or VIPs like Albert Einstein, Harry Truman or John F. Kennedy. Several successful sellers put together several articles about rock stars from the past, like the Grateful Dead or Janis Joplin, and sell them for over $100 per bundle on eBay.

2. Buy right – Garage and estate sales can be a gold mine. The seller just wants to get rid of surplus stuff and make a little money, which can work to your advantage. You can offer to take the whole lot at a reduced price. The chances are very high that they will accept your offer. Very often you find on eBay, magazines that can be marked up 500% to 2,000% when sold as single issues to collectors.

3. Smart pricing – You need to do your homework to find the prices of the same issues or similar issues that have sold online. Several bids are also a good indication that several people are actively looking for a specific issue date of that magazine.

By learning the secrets of buying and selling old magazines, you can turn a few hundred dollars worth of garage & estate sale magazines into a very profitable part time business. You just need to list them on eBay and other online sites for collectors to easily find them.
