Re: jobbers who buy old volumes of periodicals Carol Mayer 01 Nov 2007 17:30 UTC
Hi Andree, I have a copy of an email I received in February 2006. I don't know if any of them are still around. Hope it helps. Carol Mayer cmayer@uidaho.edu Periodicals Service Center Phone: 208-885-5831 University of Idaho Library Fax: 208-885-6817 PO Box 442359 Moscow, ID 83844-2359 Folks, Someone called me today to ask about vendors/back issue dealers. Here's a summary of the ones I use. Contact me off-list if you would like more information (listed alphabetically): Absolute Backorder: Located: in Wrentham, Massachusetts. Sending them Back Issues: If you send them a list and they pre-approve it, they will send you a check for shipping costs once the issues arrive at their end. Special Feature: East Coast Exchange -- if you send them your back issues, you can join the East Coast Exchange and order issues from them at a reduced cost. Website: http://www.absolute-inc.com/_/ <https://www.mail.uidaho.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.absolute-inc.com/_/> EBSCO: Missing Issues Copy Bank located in Birmingham, AL. Sending them Back Issues: If you send them issues from their MCB list and you use them as a vendor, they will send you a check for shipping costs at the end of each quarter. Periodicals Service Company (PSC): located in Germantown, New York. Sending them Back Issues: Usually, they will request issues from you, but you can send them lists for them to pre-approve and they will send you a check or stamps for shipping costs once the issues arrive at their end. Sometimes, they will offer more than just shipping. Website: http://www.periodicals.com <https://www.mail.uidaho.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.periodicals.com> USBE: located in Cleveland, Ohio. Sending them Back Issues: If you send them a list and they pre-approve it, they will credit your account for shipping costs once the issues arrive at their end and you can use that credit to order issues from them. Website: http://www.usbe.com <https://www.mail.uidaho.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.usbe.com> These are the only dealers that I deal with on a regular basis. I have had good luck and good responses from all of these vendors and would wholeheartedly recommend them to others. If anyone has any other dealers that they use frequently, please let us know. Someone asked me about EduCo, but I know nothing about them as a dealer.

We're going to take missing issues, but not more than a few. I used to have a list of companies who were interested in buying old serial runs, but I can't find it. Does anyone know of any such organizations?
