What we don't buy

We highly appreciate all our visitors and their interest to sell vintage magazines. However, we do have specific guidelines for what we can buy. Generally, we refrain from buying items dated after the 1990s, though there are some exceptions. We would also prefer not to acquire individual magazines, as the shipping costs can be prohibitive for such small transactions. Our preference is to purchase collections that are big enough to box up or merit an in person pickup. Even with the strong demand for our services, we can’t say yes to everything. We’ve made a list of items we usually don’t buy, but keep in mind, it’s subject to change.
