My Story (early lessons)
- in 2002 I obtained a very large collection of Life magazines in excellent condition, which sparked my interest in these super magazines. What before had been dry facts in history books now came to life (no pun intended) in the great stories and fantastic pictures of the events of the world. I was fascinated with the incredible advertising and the public’s perception of world events and local happenings. However, keeping 1500-1600 magazines in my home didn’t make sense (at the time).
- to recover my costs of obtaining the collection, I decided to start selling some right away. Wow! --- after the first two weeks of auctions … my cost for the entire collection had been fully recovered and I still had well over 1300 copies left! I was thinking they might be worth a few dollars each and yet some were selling for $25 - $50 an issue! If I was not “sold” on Life Magazines before, I sure was then!
- it also became obvious to me fairly quickly that some of the issues got a much higher price from collectors. This was the beginning of my real education about Life magazines and their value. Before just listing a bunch at $2 - $3 each, I researched previous sales, so I would not be ‘giving them away’. Was that greedy or smart? When I started selling the ones for $10-$30 each that I would have sold for $2-$3 each a few weeks earlier, it sure answered that question.
- since then I have sold 1000’s of copies of Life magazine on ebay and locally to collectors, people wanting to celebrate special days and to others who want to cut them up for the fabulous vintage advertising. I have learned a great deal about what influences the prices of these collectibles and also what may be very desirable in the coming years. I believe (and am proof of it) that if you know what to look for and how to buy and sell properly, you can make money buying/collecting/selling Life Magazines.
Why I Believe Life Magazines In General Will Increase Greatly In Value
- these are weekly magazines with a one time limited circulation
- baby boomers are becoming collectors and coming into the age where their disposable income will be spent on their own hobbies and passions instead focusing on their children’s needs.
- the massive expansion of the Internet has seen the number of collectors growing exponentially and their appetite for collectibles in excellent condition will only continue to grow.
- the increased popularity of Life magazines mean there are more and more being handled, packaged, mailed and often improperly handled by the latest purchaser.
- the overall quality will continue to disintegrate and there will be fewer copies in the excellent condition collectors prefer, thereby raising the price of the ‘collector quality’ issues dramatically.
Why Different Prices?
- Some Issues Demand a higher Price due to the person on the cover and/or the specific contents.
- Check the ‘HOT’ list in PROFIT$ FROM LIFE for those issues that continually bring in high prices, and why they will only keep going up.
- I have sold identical issues of Life magazine (same date, same condition) for prices ranging from $10 - $50.
- Why the difference?

- In the ‘SLEEPER’ list in PROFIT$ FROM LIFE are issues that I think will become very popular (and expensive) over the next couple of years. They can be picked up for very little right now and resold for huge profits in a couple of years.
Which Issues To Buy for Investment? 1) the ‘HOT’ list are Life magazines that have proven be true collector issues and are in constant demand by collectors. These will continue to increase in value and are a very safe investment with the opportunity for returns of 50%-200%.
2) in the ‘SLEEPER’ list are issues I feel will increase dramatically in value and can be purchased for as little a $1-$2 right now. These could very well increase in value by 500%-1000% over the next couple of years.
Both lists are in PROFIT$ FROM LIFE.
If you do not know which two in that stack of twenty is worth four times as much as the rest of the stack put together; you will either lose money buying the stack or build a large pile of Life magazines whose primarily worth is reading material for you. If that is your goal, fine ….. but if you are looking to make money investing in Life magazines you must read PROFIT$ FROM LIFE
· just the return on one or two magazines could easily pay for the report!.
“BUY LOW, SELL HIGH” is how you make money in the stock market, collectibles or any other commodity. In PROFIT$ FROM LIFE, I tell you the same methods I have been using successfully to do exactly that.
As I deal primarily on ebay and it is the world’s largest collectible marketplace, it reflects accurate ‘real’ pricing, not an inflated price you may see a local vintage paper or book shows.
