Are we interested in your magazine collection? Possibly.

As a growing archive, we would always be interested to hear about collections you may no longer need or have inherited. We do however receive emails every day, trying to find a new home for an existing collection.

Either as a generous donation to save a collection from fate, and to eventually find a new home whilst residing ( or staying ) in our archive.

For anyone wishing to simply send us a small donation rather than throwing away, please do so. ( we can send our address ) We're always interested in seeing fashion related publications we have not yet cast our eyes on, and we could well be a stepping stone for even just a few issues finding their way to a new owner. Everything else, we regularly donate to local collages for inspiration, along with making use of our recycling centres. Nothing goes to landfill. 

For collectors wishing to sell......  

In each situation, as much as we would like to peruse everything, we simply do not have an infinite amount of space, nor funds. 

We discard an awful lot of magazine collections either gifted or purchased if they have significant faults. We have made so many purchases in good faith, to have later discovered that numerous pages are missing or damaged. Customers making a purchase on our website do so in the knowledge that they are buying the best issues available. 

A large portion of what we receive is unfortunately discarded.

We ask that you let us know as much about the issues as possible? The condition and quantity. Pictures are helpful. We would need to know how much you wish to sell your collection for.  And to be somewhat realistic.

However in all respects please note that we do not specialise in anything 'hobby' - We are unable to accept any collections to do with Cars, Trains, Gardening, Needlework, Sports, Motorbikes., Travel and so on! Sorry. 

A little bit of information regarding our collection.

The detailing of this magazine archive and content has taken over a decade to collate with intense poring over each editorial and article. The entire inventory is not going to sell within a week (sadly!) and we base our pricing on the absolute best quality we can find. You may have stumbled upon us as you initially wished to sell a box of magazines for say £50/£100. If this is then largely inflated after seeing the love which has gone into referencing every single issue, we are unlikely to trade. 

With daily emails of collections offered we can not enter into too much debate about value. Consider what you initially expected for your collection, let us know - and hopefully we can make a purchase. If you do not have a price in mind, we probably can not reply.

With apologies in advance, we are struggling to reply to 'offers of magazines offered to us' emails. We will reply to you but this make take a short while. Thanks. 

Oh. And we are in the North West of the UK. ;-)

Might we also add ( as sadly this happens too frequently) that if we are unable to purchase your magazines, we request rather strongly that you do not use our pictures or descriptions to sell your items elsewhere. All information and images on our site are the property of Magazine Canteen. For those that unfortunately ignore this, we take this very seriously and actively seek to have this removed.
