i have about 150 magazines that belonged to my father-in-law; i wondered if they might be worth anything; dates start 12/61 through 12/92. i would possibly also be interested in donating them if i knew where. thank you. sorry if this is inappropriate for this message board.

    The only ones I've been able to sell in the past have been much older excellent condition copies, (50's & earlier), in full year binders.

    Fairly recent individual copies are so common they have virtually no resale value. You might check out fleabay to verify this.

    Because of the recent bedbug contagion most people don't want anything to do with older books and magazines that might or might not be harboring them, i.e. you can't give older books and periodicals in questionable condition away nowadays.

    Check with your local VFW or other group supporting soldiers overseas. We have a local group here at the college that send care boxes on a regular basis...

    Your mag are too new, if you have any from the 50's check with Cornell Publications. They buy old mag/catalogs, copy them and reprint them for sale. They would give you credit on any purchase and return your mag/catalog. Nice site check it out, reasonable prices because your buying a copy not original.

    what are the names of these magazines ? i would be interested in some, maybe all of them, shoot me a PM or e-mail, with the titles and conditions for transfering them from you to me.

    thank you.
