Modern Publishing Creating Instant Nostalgia?

As many magazines go the way of the dodo, other publications are staying strong despite industry woes.  A recent survey of listings on eBay show that people are actively sharing issues of their favorites, even from recently defunct magazines.

Domino Magazine, which folded earlier this year, fetches prices across eBay well above the original news-stand price.  Teen Magazines, which some may argue are one of the lowest forms of magazine value, occupy more than 5,000 listings on eBay including the dead publications, CosmoGirl and Teen Magazine.  The common tactic to dub an issue as a collectors edition now has more relevance as the industry reels and buckles under economic pressure.  Is the current economy driving an increase in collectors or is this instant nostalgia a sign of the end for print magazines?
