Question
I have some Mad Magazines and I also have some cars and lunch box and books. I would love to sell them.  I just don't know how to go about it and if I'm getting a good price for them.

Answer

Hi Angela

Mad Magazines generally aren't worth too much unless they're from the 50s.  Later issues would have to be in pretty much perfect "near mint" condition to get much interest.  Your best bet to sell them would be on eBay, where people can bid competitively and so hopefully a fair price will be reached.

I'm not really knowledgeable about the other items you mention--cars (Matchbox?), lunch box (depends on what characters appear on them), books (depending on the books, either a used book store, or possibly eBay).

Good luck.

Chris
