I’ve decided that I don’t want to become one of those people who live in a set of cleared passageways between towering piles of old magazines. So I’m having a clear out. But before I chuck them all in the recycling I’m looking at flogging some of them. The piles mostly consist of:
- TV Zone
- SFX
- Wargames Illustrated
- Miniature Wargames
- Practical Wargamer
- Harbinger
- Star Trek The Magazine
- Warpstone
- Valkyrie
- Prehistoric Times
It’s really the first three that are problematic (and I’m definitely keeping all of the last three), so what’s the market in back issues of those like?
Not good it would seem.
Wargames Illustrated have released issues 1-150 on CD-ROM with 151-200 to follow soon, so there’s very little demand for back issues there.
SFX and TV Zone would seem to be the sort of thing that sci-fi collectors should go for but the evidence on eBay seems to suggest otherwise – very few bids, even on issues no longer available from the publishers’ back issue departments.
So before I waste my time listing stuff on eBay that probably won’t sell I’m making an open offer here, if any of the above takes your fancy, or if you want to ask any questions, please post a comment or send me an e-mail and let’s see if we can work something out. I’ll draw up a list of which issues I have and post it later.
