Some Information About rgilbert155

Giving you a little more insight into the seller.

I have been selling Life Magazines, vintage books and Las Vegas memorbilia on the other 'e' Internet auction site (ID: rgilbert15) for about 8-9 years and have over 10,000 sales. I have gotten fed up with their heavy handed approach with Sellers and decided to move to eBid! I have 1000's of Life Magazines and books and will be listing them as soon as I can/ I may have the date Life Magazine you looking for. Just e-mail me and if I have it in stock, will make it available to you at a reasonable price.

Life Magazines have extensive coverage of World War Two in the Pacific, Europe and Asia. They are also packed with vintage fashion, automobile, tobacco, home appliance, cosmetic advertising and more. These vintage ads are great! All the Hollywood stars are shown either in features about themselves or their movies over the years as well. All my magazines are in very good to excellent condition. Please check the "How I Grade Life Magazines" page in my ebay store.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION: We ship from Niagara Falls, NY every Tuesday & Friday morning and ship to all our U.S. customers via PRIORITY MAIL, Parcel Post, Media Mail (books) or 1st Class Mail. We always offer NO HANDLING FEES and charge only actual USPS postage costs for shipping.

Why Priority Mail only for magazines? According to the USPS, publications containing advertising (such as Life magaines, etc.) do not qualify for Media Mail. With Bound Printed Matter, if there is any problem with delivery the package will be thrown away. Therefore I ship all my Life Magazines via Priority Mail Post. Please do not bother asking me to ship otherwise.

All International orders will be shipped via First Class International (Airmail) or Priority Post.

All magazines are placed in a plastic sleeve and then packaged in a rigid cardboard mailer to preserve the integrity of the magazine and prevent damage.

Shipping is always combined and NO 'handling' fees

Life Magazines make unique gifts for birthdays, anniversaries or other special events. Life Magazine published weekly and so focused on a very specific time frame, with current news of the day.

Super Gift Idea : an inexpensive picture frame + vintage ad = expensive looking one-of-a-kind gift. What else can you give someone that will show/remind them what was happening in the world during that special date?

Many of my customers have purchased Life Magazines with articles and photos about themselves, other family members or their organizations during a special time in their lives.

The incredible vintage advertising is each issue makes these magazine of super use to those who deal in vintage advertising.

for people who want to frame the ads themselves, they can select wonderful ads to help set off a recreation or theme room.

many people restore vintage automobiles. They love having those vintage ads (every magazine has lots!) from their favorite cars and other accessories (radios, gas companies, etc.) in the garage with the cars.

If there is a particular issue you are interested in, just e-mail me and if I have it, I will make it available.

Las Vegas Memorabilia

Years ago, I used to go to Las Vegas at least a couple of times a year. When I went a few years ago, I saw the huge changes from what it used to be. This sparked my interest in collecting memorabilia from the ’old days’ and I began looking everywhere for ashtrays, menus, souvenirs or anything from the ‘old Vegas’, so I began making purchases of. I now have lots of Las Vegas memorabilia, most of it from way before I started going to Las Vegas. I have decided to start selling some and my listings will now always have some Las Vegas ashtrays, postcards and other Las Vegas souvenirs, many from the 1950’s.
