The subject might disgress from the main topic but I would like to share with you today a book written by Stuart Turnbull that teaches how to find and rescue advertisements pages in old books and sell them on Ebay. 

What prompted Stuart to write his book “Prints Make Profits” was when : “(…) quite by accident, I stumbled upon an auction for a mounted/matted vintage art print that had 23 bids and over 200 hits!

That item sold for over $160…(….) as I continued my research I realized that I could dip into an almost inexhaustible supply of similar prints which were easily purchased for a few dollars each..”

The introduction caught my attention, so I scrolled down his promotion page and found screen shots of some of his findings sold on Ebay. Here’s an example:

Old Vintage Ads- Ebay Sales

Wow..indeed… quite impressive results!

In this very well written instructional guide, we gain access to 3 years of experience from the author of selling prints on eBay. Finding it hard to profit from selling other items on eBay, Stuart Turnbull finally mastered his own system of selling prints and makes up to $160 for every item sold on eBay, easily and systematically.

With just 2 hours per day you can start a vintage ad prints selling business and furthermore, it does not require any expensive equipment, which makes it very easy to get started with. 🙂

Old photogravures are also in demand and it reminded me of a book I bought last year at McGill’s University Annual Book Fair titled:  “The Goupil Gallery of Photogravures from Great Modern Painters with Biographical and Descriptive Text.” published by Estes and Lauriat, Boston, 1888.

Hum… it would break my heart to unbind this book to sell the photogravures on Ebay!  I will instead, go browse inside bookshops selling old books and see if I can find some specimens.

Meanwhile, I uploaded the following Scottish related vintage ads in my Ebay store for topical Art print collectors.

These vintage prints are not as old though as the one’s Stuart illustrates on his Prints Make Profits promotion page.
