A popular saying “a book is man’s best friend” should include the word ‘magazines’ too. You will find magazines on almost any topic under the sun just as you would find books on a variety of subjects. Not only are magazines and books a source of information, they also keep you constructively occupied. Magazines tend to satisfy the ever growing thrust for knowledge.

Books vs. Magazines
While books can be stored and read as and when you want, they contain stories, whereas magazines contain latest informative content. Each magazine is generally restricted to a subject that affects one or other aspects of our daily lives. Thus, you can buy magazines that deal with topics like gardening, cooking, matters related to finance, cars, education, career, etc. Magazines are published periodically-weekly, fortnightly or monthly or bi-monthly.

Latest Information
Magazines offer opportunities to remain abreast of the latest trends and advances. Publication in the magazines is designed in such a way that a reader will not find it monotonous or boring – you will find good photographs, tables, even a page or two devoted to pleasures like crosswords, puzzles, etc. One can get magazines at the newsstands or book-stalls.

Selling old magazines- also called vintage magazines – online is a profitable and rewarding way to make a good extra income without investing a lot of time or money. In fact, it is possible to get started selling old magazines online for under $500. Why old magazines? Unlike expensive collectibles, old magazines from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s are still affordable. Plus, boomers are eager buyers of old magazine issues about their younger years, and this “nostalgia wave” is getting bigger every year, as the boomers become seniors. There are also a lot of collectors looking for special issues about their area of interest, whether it’s movie stars or military history.

The best and easiest place to sell old magazines online is on eBay. When most collectors look for old magazines, they turn to eBay as a reliable source, so that’s where you want to list your old magazines. Best of all, it costs almost nothing to get started on eBay and the selling fees are quite reasonable, considering your exposure to millions of potential customers.Finding old magazines is easy, as many of the most popular collectible magazines mailed millions of copies every month. Life magazine, for example, was sending out eight million magazines each week to subscribers in the 60s. Garage sales and estate sales are a good way to find large quantities of used magazines for reasonable prices. To get an even better deal, consider offering a “take it all away” price to the seller, such as “I’ll take all 120 magazines for $40,” as this allows you to build up your inventory at rock-bottom prices.

Starting your own online used magazine business is easy, inexpensive and quite profitable. Best of all, it’s a business with flexible hours, so you can run it in just an hour a two a day, on your own schedule. Before you can sell old magazines, you need to buy them. Since garage and estate sales are excellent spots to pick up magazines cheap, plan on spending a couple hours every Saturday checking out local sales. It’s a lot like a treasure hunt, and the rewards can be amazing. It’s not uncommon to pick up magazines for 50 cents each that can be resold on eBay for $10-$20 each.

The most important factor in your success is picking the right kind of magazines. Stacks of magazines in an attic or garage can be tempting, but they must be appealing to collectors. There are about two dozen ordinary magazines, like Time, Life and the Saturday Evening Post that can bring a tidy profit online.

Magazine collectors like issues that feature well-known authors, photographers and illustrators, and will pay far more for those special issues than ordinary issues. For example, most of us are familiar with the work of Norman Rockwell, who produced hundreds of magazine covers and ad illustrations during his long career, including 317 covers for the Saturday Evening Post. But not many folks are familiar with Jessie Willcox Smith, whose memorable illustrations of children also bring top dollar even today from collectors. Even a single page magazine ad done by Smith can bring over $100. Read the rest of this entry »
