Mark them up and sell them in Europe as “exclusive”.

They give them to illiterate people so they can look at the pics.

When I was in retail they just got thrown in a compactor. Wasn't a bookstore though and maybe 100 total a month, probably more like 50.

Back in the day, if I started a new magazine subscription, inevitably the first issue I'd get would be last month's issue. It would be all tattered and of course your 12 month subscription would reflect this.
So, i took it, I'd get some magazine that had been returned from the newsstands.

Those poor kids also think that the Buffalo Bills of '90-93 were the most dominate dynasty in NFL history.

I know the unsold magazines in the Jackson area were sent back to the distributorr were sold to a recycling center, baled up, and sent to a roofing company.

They send the cover back and get a refund or something


When I was a kid, my dad knew a guy that serviced the racks.
My dad would bring home Mad and Cracked magazines as well as car, hifi, etc magazines. They all had the covers missing but were otherwise fine.
Loved it.

Most grocery stores have a cardboard compactor and a plastics bin. All plastic coverings AND the returned plastics bags are put into the bin. A return truck takes the wooden pallets, old displays, compacted cardboard and the plastics bin to the distribution warehouse for recycling.


This is correct. Mine has all this. But the plastic grocery bags usually don’t make it that far.
