Perhaps it's time to get rid of my old magazines......

Dunno, but you should probably invest in a good scanner that will do double-sided scans and has a document feeder. Personally, if you're going to toss them, I'd take a Saturday and scan them. I have some old issues as well - some dating back to 1981 or so. Ebay'ing them and then scanning would make sense.

Ebay is definitely an option. I would guess the magazines that featured a supercar would be the most valuable. I had the same problem as you but I had to start recycling them. I only kept the magazines which had rare cars that were road tested or had a road test of a car I have owned in the past. The only magazines I keep and will keep in the future are Forza and a majority of the European car magazines I buy.

 

Hang onto them for another 20 years and sell the collection for $50,000 CANADIAN!

 

I used to have years worth of the same car mags and finally dumped them all. No one wanted them. I still have a full collection of Forza and nobody wants that either (and I don't mean free lol). One thing's for sure... they're heavy! I can't imagine what shipping will cost for the whole set.

 

If you have an issue with the 1994 348 Spider, I'd be interested

I recycled years of Autoweek... nobody wanted them. I think I kept the issue with sketches of the Lamborghini Portfolio concept, and that mini-van that split off into a micor car.

Yet another way in which the internet has changed our lives!!!

 

I have 24 issues of Forza. October 2003-November 2006. Several are still sealed in plastic. Even the unsealed issues are in perfect shape. I hate to just toss them in the trash. So if anyone wants them enough to help with the shipping, I'll send them your way.

 

I have most of the F1 Racing magazine issues from 1997-2003 in excellent condition. If anyone wants them for whatever shipping costs PM me.

 

I have tons of magazines going back to the late 80s. If you don't care about getting money for them, put them on Craigslist in the free section. I am sure you can find someone that will want them. I think you can also donate them to libraries, or even hospitals or gyms. Pretty much anything with a waiting room might be willing to take them off your hands.

I have pretty much given up on the American car mags, Evo, Top Gear and Car are just so much better.

 

Yea, I have a ton too, here are a good portion of them that I'm trying to unload. Man o man... how did I accumulate all this?!

I have about 10+ boxes of 80's & 90's car magazines in my parents garage, I thought about putting some of them on Ebay but I need to reexamine their current condition they have been in there for about 10 years.

 

They are worth as much as anyone is willing to pay for them.

 

Hey Dan, How many do you have? Id be happy to take some off your hands. Bonus points if you have any F355, 348, F40....er well, any Ferrari or Corvette ones!

 

I had a collection of 'On Track' that started from issue #1, but tossed most of them in the late 80's. Before EBay.
Most folks don't even know that OT started as a newspaper before going to magazine style/size.

 

Drop them at the recycling center and save a tree!

 

I have every issue of Car & Driver dating back to 1988. I've thought of getting rid of them, but I have to admit, it's kind of fun to go back and look at some of the old ones. I'll probably keep them forever.

This is truly depressing to me because I have been collecting magazines since the mid 80's and I always thought they had some value. I just can't see scanning them into the computer. There is just something about holding the magazine in your hand.

 

if you have any of these - i ll take em.........

I'm interested in these Forza issues if you still have them. Send me a PM...

 

anything with a road test of a 3000gt or dodge stealth im interested in. mitsubishi HSX too. would be seen from 88ish to 99.

i could do some research and find out exactly what issues have something if youre willing to sell/split up years.

 

I used to keep 2 issues of 'Computer Shopper' each year, about 6 months apart, starting in about 1986 or so.

I was on vacation and my boss tossed them.... pisst me off. It was kinda fun to see a 286 with 4mb of ram and a 60mb HD going for $3,500.
I don't remember the older stuffs' prices like 8086's..... but I had those issues, too.
