rovex Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi guys I've recently come into possession of a large number of back copies of RM, effectively every magazine from 1975 up to 2006 (I think, not sure as not at home as a I write this). I personally have no use for them and proposed selling them on. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to go about this. I know they are not worth a lot money and was thinking £1 a magazine plus postage, or perhaps sell them by the year. Anyone got any experience at selling such things? all ideas gratefully received.

IWCR Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Having been involved with a heritage railway selling second hand books & magazines these are virtually worthless, you might get a pound or two for a year set if your lucky, doubtful if anyone will want to pay postage on them, individually it is difficult to even give them away.

hayfield Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The best way of making funds from them is to cut out the plans and sell in small groups on eBay, recycle the rest at your local recycling centre. Or give to a local club which has a show to be given away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted December 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2016 Sorry but no real value. We give them away at own exhibition to anyone who wants them, we also try to give copies to children to encourage railway modelling. Other than that it's the recycling centre, I do try if possible to save interesting articles. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Please don't put them in the recycling. They just get pulped. If you can't sell or pass them on, then give them to a charity shop instead. They sell them to World Of Books or other such organisations, who then sell them on the internet. Makes a few quid for the charity as well. That's where places like Magazine Exchange get them from. http://www.magazineexchange.co.uk/railway/ Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
