I have an extremely large (over 30000 playbills) collections I need to sell. Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to go about this? I know of ebay but I was wondering if there were any other options.

Thanks.

Though eBay would be your best option, you can try listing a few on here and see if anyone would buy them.

I think you should post some here and then go to eBay as a last resort. I'd like to know what's in your collection. :)

Do you have the original Sound of Music, Gypsy, and/or Once Upon a Mattress. I'd really love to have them, especially if they were signed. =]

If you have any signed playbills, I would be interested in them.

I would put them on ebay in groups of 20-60. Not sure how you would categorize them, but people would probably be more likely to buy them like that, because even I, an avid playbill collector, probably wouldn't buy a collection of 30,000 at once.

I'm sure it's a long shot, but if you have the flop 45 SECONDS FROM BROADWAY (w/ Marian Seldes, Alix Korey, from 2001-2002, preferably Jan 2002) I would love it. Also Les Mis original production from roughly Jan. 2003. They are the only shows I've seen that I don't have any sort of Playbill.

Now, all of you who "called dibs" - do you really want ALL of the Playbills that are related to that show/composer? (The person does have 30,000 of them... just sayin). Cuz I'd love to peruse a list of RENT playbills and possibly A CHORUS LINE or WICKED.

Also: original ANNIE, Mary Martin's PETER PAN, original KING AND I, JAYNE EYRE, MILLIE, LAST 5 YEARS, LITTLE SHOP.

Here's a REALLY random request...

I NEED a Playbill from the Off-Broadway show THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVER TOLD by Paul Rudnick with the replacement cast (Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Lea Delaria). How I lost it I don't know, but it's the only show I've ever seen that I don't have my Plabill from.

I call dibs on anything from the 1969-1970 season that ran for 15-35 regular performances, excluding Wednesday matinees that had a cast of 16-24 not including understudies or swings with at least a 20 piece orchestra not counting piano or trumpets!!

You've definately peaked my interest. I'm not calling dibs on anything yet, but I'm definately interested.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

I appreciate all "dibs" but I don't really have the time or the inclination to start breaking up the collection piece by piece. I have a spreadsheet with all the playbills listed but I don't know how to make it viewable. There are approx 36,744 total. I guess I can try listing it on ebay.

You must have a whole lotta duplicates.

I would suggest you group them into sets and sell them on eBay. You'll get better results that way.

And if you have some rare ones, I would sell those individually.

Here's the thing ... if you're not willing to do at least some work to sell them, you're not going to make much money off of them. Just selling 36,000+ Playbills in a mass bulk with a high minimum bid will likely get you nowhere.

Try, if you want to.

To whomever asked, yes, I want *all* the Chorus Line ones. My goal is to have a playbill from every month it ran on Broadway from 1975-1990, and I need any of the Off-Broadway ones.
