Over £500 spent on bike mags, and that's just the ones that I saved.
How about £25 for the lot, - collection only [North Staffordshire] due to the weight as the complete collection weighs 45 Kg!

Couple of boxes from the super market load 'em with your mags place at roadside on garbage day.

Thanks for your advice ayceejay - very helpful!

Some more less-than-helpful advice:

Some years ago I decided to get rid of several years worth of accumulated New Scientist magazines. Perhaps a school would be interested? I thought. Nope. I spent quite a while contacting people, and asking around. Then I put them in the recycling bin.

I really do appreciate the advice, it all helps me to make a decision. I expect that these will go the same way - in the bin.
I went through the same process with a load of motorcycle mags years ago and ended up throwing them all in the re-cycle bin in the end.
I was also thinking that these magazines could go to a school, local bike shop, dogs home?? who knows?
Unfortunately, they can't really be posted because of the weight, so the re-cycle bin is calling is likely to be the end result.

What about asking round doctors' surgeries and local organisations such as the CAB to see if they'd like a few for the waiting room?

Why not offer them free to anyone who wants to collect them (if you don't get a buyer)

 

[Broughtonblue]

Not sure if I've missed it but you say collection only, where from?

 

[120308]

Sorry, must have missed that bit of info.

Strangest thread resurrection for a while...

 

[G3CWI]

It's only a couple of years. They are probably still available.

 

[120308]

Nope, sorry to disappoint anyone, but no longer available.
I took them to the Mildenhall cycle rally last August, gave them to the rally organisers to be given away as freebies - they were very popular.
Just goes to show that it's a good idea to close a thread, even if it takes nearly two years.

Not sure how that happened - I thought I had an Alert about it ...
