Where can I sell some adult literature?

PostieJohn

Sorry to land this on you guys, but the other forum I read, and would be adept at this one!!!!, is currently off-line, so here goes.

I've a large stash of 1960's & 70's adult magazines.
They were found behind the bath panel in my old flat, about 50, mainly Fiesta's as well as a few Men Only's and Mayfair's.

Anyway, when I'm after some extra cash I always think there must be a deviant/collector out there that would pay cash for such antiques, unsurprisingly ebay is a non-starter.
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated, not just by me, but my bank manager also.

For the ones that are still going, do they have a small ads section you could advertise in? Failing that, I seem to recall Loot used to have some *cough* quite open minded categories stuff like that could be sold through...

Why is EBay a non-starter? I'm sure there's an adult literature section. Of course, I've never looked :oops:

You could try eBay. I have reported sellers in the past for shill bidding (ramping up the price of their own auctions using a second identity) and eBay only froze their trading account for a couple of weeks. I think if you got caught for selling this, you'd get a similar punishment. Having said all that, if you sold them on eBay, you'd need to ensure no feedback was exchanged, as otherwise it'd be on your feedback record for a while!!

Alternatively, if the person you bought the flat off lived there during the period in question, perhaps you could contact the bloke and see how much he'd pay for his missus not to find out! :twisted:

Lastly, if they're in good condition, you could contact the publisher and see if they wanted to buy them back. You never know - they might.

The alternative doesn't bear thinking about!

Alas the alternative happened, the female friend who was there at the time, couldn't work out why some magazines where in the state they were.

Eventually myself & the guy who found them had to say "stop ripping the pages open, and THINK about it". *slight delay* then massive scream followed by a deep cleaning scrub.

I used to live with a guy who was an avid collector of magazines of a jazz disposition. He used to regularly trade in his 'old stock' at the adult book store. However, I do have a memory of him buying a second hand mag that came with free bloody finger prints!

Go to ebay Magazines section and the 'Related Searches' section should give you a good idea of what people are looking for...

I think it is possible to sell retro bongo-books on ebay. It certainly was when I needed some while I was at University (hang on let me explain...). I was doing an essay on Men's magazines* and ebay proved very useful - although the seller emailed me to complain about 'ebay harassment' and to offer me some 'hard stuff'. I declined to reply...

Would it be possible to list them with a 'Buy It Now' price and hope someone'll stump up within a hour or two before ebay get wind of it?



*This sounds a bit pompous doesn't it? Just to clarify; I did use them in my essay and I certainly did use them as Paul Raymond Publications originally intented. Lonely student nights in a bedsit etc...

I think there may also be some lesser online auction sites that allow things (if not specialise in) things of this genre.
