The right way to do it

:
Sell a few, say the ones already posted, use the money to buy a scanner and scan the rest of your collection for us!
Then sell the rest, and your scanner if you want.

trouble with ebay is they take offence to you masking nudity -
then still pull a sale if a cover shows nudity as well , plus
ebay seems to let hard core stuff sail through
on ebay they don't seem to want to know what is acceptable

you are better often to have no picture

I have really given up selling my excess mags on that site

make a list of all the magazines, dates and old prices & models names,
then email it too collectors who buy and sell old mags.
They may take them all off your hands for cash.

ebid.net is a site with an adult section. I recommend it.

I'd second Billybunter's comments. I have filled many gaps in my collection by browsing here, and have also sold stuff as well.

I have quite a retro vintage erotic adult magazine collection myself.
I don't mind people scanning. I truly think hard copy will be very valuable.
I started a site where it is possible to buy sell, trade and loan these magazines. I guess I could scan for people.

I think digital is nothing and hard copy is everything.
Peace and Luv

They now have a section where you can sell adult mags (I think it's a subsection of Everything Else), they even have subcategories for mags including Paul Raymond mags.

eBay US has an active market for adult mags, right now there are over 80,000 mags listed. If you have an eBay account (in US or other home country) you CAN list on the US site (there is one active seller in Japan, many in Canada, a few in UK and other places in Europe).

The market in US for UK mags isn't generally huge, but most mags do sell and some specific titles and models are very popular. Pretty much any mag or model with big boobs sells well; the all-Roberta Pedon titles often go for well over 100 USD, and there are many models who can get 20 USD or more for being in a mag with a 6 page photo set.

How about the classic European hardcore mags? I'm thinking Private, Color Climax etc. There must be a market for these, and I know they've got some value, but selling them in the UK doesn't seem easy.

There's a business opportunity there, I reckon.............

I heard somewhere that the first edition of Playboy from 1953 with Marilyn Monroe on the cover could be worth over $10,000. I wonder if anyone still has a copy somewhere.
