Business InformationHistory/background
I am The Yearbook Guy who offers over 2000 high school, junior high and college yearbooks at fantastic prices. I've sold over 3000 yearbooks up to date and my 100% positive feedback will give you an indication as to how dedicated I am to provide my customers with these unique time capsules. Remember, you don't have to be in the yearbook to purchase one. They make great unique gifts for birthdays and Christmas and make for a very interesting collection if you start collecting them from your alma mater. You can see an evolution of the school unfold with every yearbook.
Payment policy
Paypal preferred. I also accept checks and money orders.
Shipping information
Since I deal mainly in yearbooks and books, my standard shipping method is USPS Media Mail. It's inexpensive and I've never had any problems with it. For expedited shipping, and an additional couple of dollars, I can ship via USPS Priority Mail. Media Mail best serves those in the West and Midwest. For those in the South and East Coasts, Media Mail can take as much as 9 business days to get there. Depending on volume and destination. FYI, the USPS gives priority to Priority Mail packages during peak shipping periods like Tax Time, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving and the big one, Christmas time. Please take this into consideration. Also, I am happy to combine shipping costs and Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes can carry as many as 4-5 yearbooks in one box, for one flat price of $10. So you get expedited shipping method and can save $$ when you make multiple purchases.
Return policy
Returns are accepted if notified within 7 days of receiving the item and only if items are grossly misrepresented on the item's description. I will not refund any money on items that are lost or damaged in transit. I offer optional insurance and delivery confirmation via USPS. I suggest this on purchases over $50.
Contact information
Email is the best way to contact me. I try to be quick but can be overwhelmed at times by requests and student look-ups. BUT...I'm happy to look someone up or look for a specific theme in a yearbook if it leads to a sale!

I am happy to take requests seeing as I'm always buying new yearbooks. I'm happy to look someone up or look for a specific theme in a yearbook if it leads to a sale!
Who do I sell to? Why Yearbooks?
This business started for me in 1998 while a grad student at Art Center College of Design,Pasadena, CA. I auctioned a yearbook for my father-in-law that turned out to have John Wayne in it and it sold for $300+. I was hooked. And not because of the money, but because I realized that different people wanted yearbooks for different reasons. For example, I've sold yearbooks to those who never bought theirs in high school; were too poor to afford one back then; had their ex-wives/husbands throw them away; lost them in a house fire or water damaged; threw them away and regretted it later and so on. I also have sold yearbooks because they had Movie stars, TV Stars, Pro Athletes, polititians, infamous people and Music stars. But some of my favorite have been sold to a soldier who was about to ship off to Iraq and wanted to take them there as a reminder of the good days. But also to Alumni, Reunions, city/school libraries, Geneologists and to family of those in the yearbook.
