Uncle Henry's is an American online and printed classified advertisements repository, founded by Henry Faller and Helen Faller in Rockland, Maine, and printed in Augusta, Maine, United States. [1] [2]

Established in 1970, [3] Uncle Henry's helps people buy, sell, swap or trade a variety of items. Its tagline is Most Anything Under the Sun. It is published weekly on Thursdays and is priced at $2.00 for the printed edition. In addition to Maine, the printed version is available in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Brunswick, Canada (where it is $2.25). Digital "satellite" versions are available for download in Georgia and Indiana. Adverts are limited to thirty words.

A radio show, named Talkin' Deals, is broadcast on Saturdays via streaming and on the Maine radio stations WLOB, WBAN, WEZR and WPNO. [4]

Uncle Henry's was the inspiration for the reality television programme Down East Dickering , [3] on which it is referred to as the bible. [5]

The magazine announced its final issue will be published on November 14, 2024, because the company that prints it has gone out of business. [6]
