What do you guy's do with your old car mags?

I have kept every single mags bought since the early 90's and I am now at the
point of not knowing what do do with them.

I find it hard parting with things like these and insist on keeping them all.
It would be senseless to just throw them out once I have read them since they cost a fair bit.
They just get put in a folder and left in the cupboard. I have got them out and gone through them so many times with the intention of taking them down the recycling place but I just can't do it. I have had a quick re-read and enjoyed looking back at how the scene has changed but these things are just taking over now and I'm under increasing pressure from the other half to get rid.
Do they sell on Ebay or Boot sale's?

Am I just better off recycling them or should I keep them for a later date, lol


Really interested to hear what you lot do.


I haven't missed a FastFord or Performance Ford in years,
Also have stacks of classic ford and retro ford,
Mini world
Practical perfomance car
MaxPower
Redline


Really wouldn't like to add up the cost and work out how much I have wasted.

I'm in the same position, got a couple stacks of them, each around 3-4ft high and I can't bring myself to punt them. Such a sad bastard.


Cheers,

Ive got shed loads of mags since the late 80s in the loft. I keep expecting the ceiling to collapse on me. I've also got an over flow in the bedroom of about 3 6ft piles. That's all despite throwing out a few hundred computer/dvd/av/max power mags a few years ago.

My mrs goes mental about the storage boxes full I got of them

gjh

I collect old ones, could be intrested i a few, like old maxpowers from the 90s (need a few from approx 96 to 98), don't have many ppcs but maybe?? And seem to be missing a few fast fords from 2006 and classic fords from that period, have a few redlines, especially when the went to a tuer mag back in 2006, but still maybe intrested in earlier ones.

Guy's I don't want to turn this into a for sale thread as I'm no longer a GoldMember.

Just wanted to find out what people do with their's and weather it was worth selling them or not.

I'm going to get them all out over the next few days and try and make some sort of list.
See exactly what I have and go from there I think.

I have loads of these as well including a lot of old ppc magazines. They seriously do my head in having them kicking around and I can see me either binning them or burning them in my lockup for extra heat.
