Does anyone know of any websites where you can buy Playbills from? I've been looking for a good site.

If you're looking to buy them, look off a trading website like Ebay. Playbills aren't usually sold in stores since you get them with your admission to the show.

I saw that other thread, but I don't really have any that I want to trade. Are there any websites that sell them?

eBay would probably be your best bet.

When a very close friend died, I inherited a GIANT box of playbills dating from 1965-Now. One day, if I have the time I will type them up for you. I know I have INTO THE WOODS OBC in there, among others.

I remember doing something very naughty when i went to see Hairspray in NY...during the interval (or intermission), i sat down at the very back of the stalls...no ushers were around...I was sitting next to a large stack of unused playbills...i absolutely loved the show....so i stuck 20 in my bag.
I now have 20 hairsray playbills...but alas, im in the UK. Id like to add that had they been items that were sold to the audience, i would not have even considered doing it, but they were free...soo...lol.

There are always loads on eBay. I have a couple thousand here that I'll be unloading on eBay one day. It's just a matter of DOING it.

I didn't mean to type it that way (I was tired) but eBay is not a trading website. So yeah your best bet will be on eBay or searching on various Broadway message boards for people willing to sell their playbills.

I have tons of Beauty and the Beast and The Odd Couple Playbills!!!! I also have hundreds of full color brochures from every show past and present!

Yeah, like everyone else has said...eBay is your best bet if you feel like paying $4 for somethng you usually get for free, but it's worth it if the show has closed! They also sell opening night playbills in playbill.com's online store! Those are $15, I think.

Is there anyone who has any they would want to sell cheap?

I have a couple of Playbills signed by the entire casts - I bought them as part of BC/EFA, so it was money well spent. Plus, I didn't have to wait for the cast at the door in the freezing cold, and everyone signed. :) I am keeping them as fond memories of those shows.
I looked on the Playbill site, and some of those Opening Night playbills go for $50 or so...yikes! (The Producers one comes to mind)

I really would like to have the BARE playbill - though I know it's not an actual playbill, but the program at least.

Just go to google and search.
There are a few sites out there that sell playbills from even the most obscure shows.

I'd be willing to sell some cheap if you tell me what you want. I have my collection in a different location than I am living, but I can still get to most of them.
Dean: Can I tell you something?
Lorraine: That depends on what it is.
Dean: I think you're really really pretty.
Lorraine: (after a pause) Ok, you can tell me that.

This is probably the dumbest question but- does any have the original RENT playbill and is willing to sell it?

I have two RENT OBC Playbills, but won't part with them, sorry.
They pop up everywhere. Search, I'm sure you'll come across some.

This is probably a stupid question, but I never realize they sold Playbills on playbill.com. Do you get the actual Playbill?
