Best place/way to sell old magazines?

[Pollock]

My parents are cleaning out their basement and want to know if they should toss a bunch of old magazines I had. These are Nintendo Power ~120-180 and PC Gamer ~120-190. I looked on eBay but most items were single old issues.

Probably best to just recycle these?

If you are willing to ship, I'm guessing lots of people would jump on a huge lot of Nintendo Power mags.

Make sure you scan them all first.

see if half price books will take them. i see all sorts of crap magazines on their shelves ( originally free, etc. ).

Maybe AVGN will buy those nintendo power mags.
I've actually been looking for some old CarAudio mags for a while.

is it really worth it to spend $100 and waste you time on shipping to earn $5?

nintendo power and pc gamer? lmao

There are these places called used book stores. I know it's bizarre but, they actually buy and sell things other people have read before.

yeah, but they usually only buy stuff they think they can resell

Just donate them to your local paper dumpster. :hmm:

not rare.

heavy

buyer market almost nonexistent..or probably cheap

you can try ebay but good luck man

here's a tip, use advanced search and check off completed sales.

you'll notice that most sell for almost nothing. the ones listed for a bunch probably never sell.

i just realized, OP's user name is very fitting.

Isn't that crazy though? To scan like a 1000 magazines?

I have every one of those issues of NP and a lot more. I also have many of those PC Gamer issues, but I didn't subscribe to that one.

 

[sonambulo]

Nintendo Power? Try over at nintendoage.com

PC Gamer? Your local recycling depot.

Whoosh.

"Is it still crazy to scan 1000 magazines?"

 

[Rudee]

I have Mad Magazine, Cracked Magazine and CARtoons magazine from the late 70's early 80's that I still have and will never part with.

 

[MotionMan]

Whoosh.

Perhaps a reverse-whoosh?

Half-Price sucks. I took them about 7 complete years of PC Gamers (1995 to 2002) and they gave me like $10. It wasn't even worth the gas it took to drive them over.

eBay -> "nintendo power magazine" -> completed listings -> sort by price -> note issues that sold for $10+ -> list those issues if you have them -> profit

otherwise, recycle, or $20 for the lot on craigslist

You forgot to tell him to offer the remaining issues as BOGO bonuses (1st come) or 1free +$0.50ea additional.
