Something I discovered people want to buy on ebay.

Back issues of some magazines. Not old, old back issues, but more recent back issues of expensive magazines. Today I picked up some midwifery magazines at the thrift store for $2.00 and they should sell for $50 on ebay. I've also sold some art magazines, Native American interest magazines, etc. that I'd never even heard of before seeing them at the thrift shop. It's my new "must" buy if they're cheap and the original price is way more than I'd ever pay for a magazine. The midwifery magazines have a cover price of $12.50!

1. I never would've guessed!

Hmm... I got stuck with around 20 National Geographic issues that are a few years old...

2. Thanks for the post.

I sell a bunch of hot rod and outdoor mags.

3. I did pretty well with some old Chocolatier magazines

Then I wished I had kept them.

4. That's good to know. I need to do more research about which magazines are "hot."

My favorite thrift shop has a quarter shelf that has a $1 a bag sale once a week. Every so often there's a collection of magazines or something and I pick them all up. Once they had just put out a grocery bag filled with baseball cards. Nothing great, but I split them up into lots and sold them in the group shop for about $100 total.

5. I have all four issues, in great condition, of 'Skateboarder Quarterly'. '64 or '65

Wanna buy? Also, a beautiful old gas stove, a "Spark", tan and green enamel, a working gem.

6. I'm a bottom feeder so you probably wouldn't want to sell to me.

All the magazines I've been finding for resale have been on the "quarter shelf" at the thrift store. You'd probably do really well with those magazines on ebay, though, and I'm sure a local antique dealer would jump all over the stove.
