'Madam President' Newsweek Copies for Sale Online — But Buyer Beware

NBC News found 387 offers for the recalled issue Wednesday evening just on eBay. Many of them offered multiple copies for sale.

And that's a problem — because the edition's publisher says only 17 copies were actually sold before all the rest were recalled, calling into question the authenticity of many of those offers.

“NBC News found 387 offers for the recalled issue Wednesday evening just on eBay. Many of them offered multiple copies for sale.”

There are some that are wall posters of the cover of the magazine, selling for $100.00, not the magazine itself.

Then the sellers, who list the same magazine 5 times, trying to get the most I guess.

Others are ‘damaged’ copies, meaning the copies where the covers were sliced after the recall. These sell for significantly less.

I purchased mine two days after the election, and it’s sealed and flawless. ($130.00).

Make sure you read the item description and pay attention to the seller’s feedback score. If it’s less than 95%, I look for a better seller!
