Original Post
I have available a bound collection of Life magazines, May through June,
1955...a great collection of vintage photographs and advertisements.
Please contact me if you are interested in obtaining this collection of
magazines...some creative person would find this a great resource for
projects and ideas!

I know some boys in Nigeria who would love to subscribe to your magazine! I'll pass them along your e-mail and phone number!

Hey, I got an e-mail from those Nigerian fellows, and I'm going to be a millionaire soon! :)

Dear Seababejewlry:
There are some artists on Etsy that use vintage materials in their creations...usually these artists are looking for good sources of vintage photographs and advertisements.
I realize you are a silversmith and may not be familiar with the range of materials used by different artists that exhibit their items on Etsy.
In addition, I find your reference to "boys in Nigeria" culturally offensive.

Dear Maureen,
The artists that use vintage materials do not spam the forums. They list their pieces in accordance with Etsy's TOU's and pay their fees. I am a silversmith, but I am also familliar with a great range of materials and Etsy's TOU's.

BTW, didn't Etsy shut you down the other day? Why are you back?

Sorry, mebeam. The best thing to do would be to photograph them, list them, and sell them within the guidelines of etsy. I'm sure someone out there could use them.
Good luck.

Seriously, if you want to sell some magazines I suggest you start a shop and put them up for sale. This is a pretty tacky way to go about it and I find your roundabout way of trying to sell something offensive to legit shops.
