I wonder who buys them, perhaps there are more people out there who are interested in the 80s/90s who are not part of our tiny community, lol!
Good thing we now have @bintempi who shares these comp books with us!

I've had decent success with asking the seller to forward a short message to the buyer who purchased a magazine I was interested in. I let them know I'm a fan of the old fashions and include a link to my blog. Ebait won't forward emails but it seems to have no problem with other links. The buyer of these books might be interested in knowing about us.

I buy vintage bridal magazines from Ebait and usually pay around 20 bucks US. Over the past couple of years prices are getting into 3 figures although they don't sell. Ebait eliminated listing fees a few years ago allowing short-sighted greedy so-n-so's to start fishing for outrageous prices. I've bought a few mags for around 20 bucks that someone has been asking say, 150 for, for a year or more. I like to send them a copy of the auction I just bought.
It's another example of 'enshitification' that we're increasingly seeing. People and platforms get greedy which makes them stupid.

That's what I also thought. There's no way a mag costs something in the three figures. That's pure greed...

I'm currently buying Greek issues of different mags as they're all that's available to me at the moment, I've paid around 400 euro for 70+ mags, I think it's a good deal.

For reference - I saw a Greek Cosmopolitan listed on Ebay for $25 which I bought for ~$4. Mind you, Cosmopolitan features just one editorial per issue... So, it's definitely not worth the $25...

Btw, she was a groupie back in the day, she was frequently David Lee Roth's date at events. But I still can't find out what her name is.

Speaking of groupies, a possible name is "Sweet Sweet Connie" Hamzy aka Connie Flowers but the face is very different.
