I wasn't really looking to get max profit.i'm sure if i researched and put forth some effort I could have made out better, but 60 bucks is 60 bucks.I'm hoping more along the lines of $600 plus. I ended up unloading them as a lot on craigslist for maybe 60 bucks. I had what i would consider a pretty ok collection, most in fair condition, very few complete years (but a couple), going back to early 70's. I had this same situation a year or so ago (may even be a thread in here). The list goes on and on.Д¬hime in and tell me what you guys think. There are a lot of collectors in there: Pam Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Bo Derek, Vanna White, Jessica Hahn, the Barbi Twins. Then I was thinking of putting them together in one lot and auctioning them on EBay. My first thought is to go to, see what they're selling back issues for and come up with a relative value. Any of you guys ever sell a batch of Playboys (or other magazines)? I've held on to them for about ten years and it's time to get rid of them. I was born in 73' and these go to the late 70's.

One thing is for certain: the old adage that sex sells holds true, especially when there is controversy. So now we wait and see what happens with a potential sale of the Playboy enterprise. There were many other collectibles from that era, like signs, pins, literature, and other relics that tied into protests of Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and other magazines. Does the news of a potential sale affect perceived value of these risquГ© publications? Time will tell.ДЄnother subplot to this phenomenon relates to the womenвЂ™s movement in the 1970s. I came across an article published last year that summarized the 10 most valuable Playboy magazine editions of all time. The magazinesДЄs for the magazines, like anything, the more rare the edition is, the greater the value. The same consignor also had a вЂњBunnyвЂќ slot machine, not affiliated with Playboy, but with a similar look, that sold at auction for $255 with buyerвЂ™s premium.

I can tell you that Playboy is a brand that does well at auctions. Now, with this latest news that HefnerВ wants to sell, should collectors sell, too, or should they hang on to their vintage magazines, matchbooks, trading cards, bunny lighters, bunny drink stirrers, mugs and more?Дare I make a prediction? Doing well at auctions Back then, some collectors questioned if that decision would make their old magazines more valuable. It was a big shock in October 2015В when the magazine announced it would no longer feature fully naked women in its magazines. One of the big stories last week that may have gotten overshadowed by international news and local election news was the fact that Playboy Enterprises is exploring a sale, which could fetch more than $500 million for the entire company, including Hugh HefnerвЂ™s famous mansion. Collecting Treasures: With the latest news that Hugh Hefner wants to sell, should collectors sell, too, or should they hang on to their vintage items?
