Wanted: slash zine-friendly auction or shop site

[applecameron]

I'm looking to unload some zines. Where can I go to do that?

I tried to visit auctionfen, but the link had rotted. Does it not exist anymore?

Here, probably. Lemme think ...

Auctionfen had a flyer at Mediwest last year - I'll look for one this (!!!) weekend.

Might be able to get online from there with the yardsale laptop, we shall see...

If you have set prices and want to fax me a list, I'll be happy to hand out flyers for you -- my partner will have a used-zine table at the con.

Hell, if I could get someone else to take ownership and sell them *for* me at a con, that would be truly awesome. I didn't even think about that, because I wanted to do it before August. Otherwise, I'd just corral Elke to drop them off at Escapade.

Hm. Let me think about this a titch.

There is always Zinelist or Slashswap, both lists at Yahoo that offer forums for the buying, selling, and trading of zines. I've done it myself, on both lists, with a fair amount of success.

As to AuctionFen, I seem to recall its owner posting a message to Zinelist awhile back, saying that they'd be shutting down due to lack of business. A shame, really. Next time I wanted to sell some of my zines, I was thinking of trying there. It made a nice (and safer, for fannish items) alternative to eBay.

She's been trying to sell off back-stock, and we're down to just a few boxes, so I hesitate to say "Send 'em along," particularly since we leave Thursday morning...

Mediawest has a lot of used zines, as a rule, and folks are often looking for specific ones. We could at least display a list of what you've got and the price you want, with your email so folks could contact you. Hell, with all the people on-line these days, you'd probably be getting queries by Friday.

A list by Thursday am would be good, if you want -- I won't be taking a printer to Michigan. ;-)

This Thursday? No, thanks.

I don't have my shit together. Sorry. Thank you *very* much for the offer.

I've joined the slashswap group, we'll see how that goes.
