Movie Profiles & Premiums
Volume 4, Number 11. November 15, 2006
The new store is open for business! It's called old-magazines-for-sale.com, but don't let that address fool you, as the doors open the store has two lanes, Vintage Magazines and Movie Cards & Collectibles. And rest assured both aisles get equal treatment, in fact, the Movie section is probably slightly more advanced as it became obvious to me that I'd be announcing the opening here first. But don't forget there are plenty of magazines with movie star covers in that section as well. For now I've been stocking the store with expired eBay store stock, which as it ends is no longer available on eBay. Now I'm not expecting any miracles at the new shop, I frankly don't expect it to make much of a dent until Christmas...2007, so my eBay auctions and eBay Store will still be the place to check first for new items of the highest quality. But there will be hundreds of items listed directly to the old-magazines-for-sale.com store that never see any face time over on eBay, simply because I think there's a lack of strong demand--this doesn't mean they'll be "bad" items, just cards and pics that are more niche, or have an appeal only to the most selective fans or collectors, like you! The old-magazines-for-sale store is taking orders from anywhere in the United States and Canada, plus several other countries across Europe as well as Australia and Japan as well as a couple of others--basically anywhere I've had experience shipping items over the past six and a half years has been included. Payments are accepted by PayPal and also now by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express). I'm also allowing U.S. customers only to pay by check or money order as I open up shop, though that is something which may change if I receive a lot of orders that aren't completed. Another facet of the store which I've debated is a minimum order. Originally I planned to place a $10.00 minimum order at the store, but decided against it at the last minute. On one hand, I don't want to drive anyone away, on the other a slew of $4.00 orders can honestly be a pain to pack and ship if you're pressed for time. Anyway, I decided against the minimum order requirement for now, no need to drive anyone away--if they only want to spend $4.00 now, they may want to spend more later. So, I'd love for you to check it out, make a purchase, or if not just let me know what you think. I've been working on this for months, thinking about it for years, but truth be told I put it all together myself, so maybe there's something I like that annoys you. If so, let me know! To celebrate the opening, here is a coupon for subscribers only--this will not be included in the version of this newsletter that's archived on the site: xxxx I hope you enjoy the store, once again,
old-magazines-for-sale.com. This issue we have one new Photo ID Guide and, of course, a brand new profile to unveil, this one from Susan M. Kelly, who handles our Golden Age film stars. Here are the links if you'd like to view these features on the site: John Wayne Profile by Susan M. Kelly along with the The Inquirer Supplements were placed at auction on eBay just last night (Thursday). This is the first time I've seen them, so if you want them now's the time to bid! That's all for now. I have a few other
new movie collectibles sitting on the desk, so there will be a couple of new
Photo ID Guides as well as some auctions in time for next issue, if not before,
and I will be adding more movie stock to the new old-magazines-for-sale.com
store as well. Next issue is slated for December 15 and should include a
Silent Collection entry by Tammy Stone, in the meantime have a great month! |
