@BlueAcadia @missparker7 actually I remove pages very carefully too, I remove the glue and then just need to pull the page a little bit from the remaining thin part of the glue. I also scan my magazines completely, not only fashion pages, but articles too - every single page. I'm going to start a topic here to post PDFs of my magazines (when I'll have a few to post). I have bought tons of magazines in the last couple of years and they take a lot of space in my apartment (and for this reason I always prefer a good digital copy over print), at the same time I can't sell anything on Ebay due to sanctions (Paypal doesn't work in Russia), neither I have the will to do so, I just hate selling personal stuff :laugh: In Russia I have to sell them very cheap to sell fast or wait forever (and store them forever) to sell at reasonable price. I'd rather scan them and post here so other people can use them too :)

I also need space and these magazines need too much room. I´m happy for everything that´s gone, but can´t give them for "an apple and an egg" away. I don´t want to sell on ebay. Too much work and maybe trouble for too less money in the end. But I like to share these scans. I´m behind originals. I prefer the paper stuff. I´m a dinosaur.:blush:

I wonder why these sellers doesn´t reduce the price. What they´re waiting for?:idk:

Greed...good old fashioned greed.  Probably a bit of pig-headedness too.  A person will see a magazine being offered for say $180 and thinks, "That's what it's 'going for.'"

It's not 'going for' that much, it's just what someone is asking.  They don't follow it and see what it sells for, if it sells at all.  They get it in their head that this is what it's worth and that figure sticks.  Every month or two the seller will drop the price a few bucks but of course it makes no difference.  I mentioned this to Ebay but of course they won't listen to me, while in the same breath they complain that sales are waaaaay down.  They need to bring back listing fees.  I also watch car parts for my vintage car and see the same problem.  The smart sellers listing for low prices, get a bunch of people into a bidding war and wind up selling while the greedy so-n-so's watch their items sit there for months.

I wonder if the mods would allow a buy-n-sell thread on Bellazon?

Oooh, now there is an idea that I can totally do for us... I'll be live soon guys, I promise. I've actually rented a house out in the middle of no-where on the Olympic Peninsula where I know absolutely not a single person. It's all to finish & publish the website. I'm not f*ing around. No distractions. 🫠 :)

That´s great.:nicole: If they can´t re-built it, we can do a new one at the models section. I fear there are some scans of me which aren´t in other topics to find. Since I delete my scans after the upload they´re gone when Bellazon doesn´t take care of them. Good you have them. Thanks, dear. :flower:

I store the rarest scans on my computer, of course I also delete most of them because... It's impossible to store it all. :yes:

I follow the 'data hoarders' sub Reddit on Reddit and they have some excellent guides to archiving stuff. 
I'll make a thread on BlueAcadia's new site regarding archiving for the cheapskate.

The idea of a website dedicated to vintage models only is magnificent :heart: I already love your source and can't wait to see it and would love to contribute as much as I can :clap:

 

================================================
 

I saw this PHOTO magazine cover yesterday and was sure it is my darling Nika Balfour pictured on it, but @Dayrell told me the model is credited as Charlotte Lewis in some sources. I couldn't find any information to confirm or disprove it's Nika, what do you guys think, Nika or Charlotte? Or maybe someone knows exactly :flower:
