Selling my collection

I have decided to sell all of my PC Pilot magaizines from the first issue to the present one as a complete bundle oddly enough none of them have jam splattered on them or used to mop up spilt tea which surprises me

I think thats 40 issues including the CD's I am clueless to what the total worth is and not sure wether to eBay them however the weight of them all adds up!
I guess this forum could do witha sell/swap section..hint hint

Tony

I understand your comment about being unsure of the worth for eBay.

I bought a whole load of Air Britain News. The postage was more than the auction price which forced the price to remain low. I could barely pick up the box they arrived in. So a lot of effort for the seller with little return.

Local pickup :k: is probably the only worthwhile method.

Edit: hence the reason my garage is full of old PC bits and aviation magazines - not worth selling them.

well you have the Â£5 cost of each one. Â£5 x 40 = 200. So i would say anything between 150 and 250 would be appropraite (considering they are 2nd hand, but very complete.)

Are the CD cases attached, or did you pull them off (like i do)

some attached some not...depending on my mood

Tony,

If Fred is offering Â£150 for them, go for it

Unfortunately I would have thought that Â£1 each would be good going. Those people who wanted them bought them at the time - most of the rest still don't want them :sad:

So there is little demand which means the price stays low.

I agree with Ian. Theres hardly anything to be gained financially by selling, but at least it makes more room. Tony if you're offered that kind of money then I would snap their hand off!

to be honest I do not expect 150 - 200 notes I would be happy with about Â£2 per copy but then again I am in no hurry to sell...

What do you have with 3-views/scale plans?

(am slowly building up my collection of Air Enthusiast/Air Illustrated from the late-70s, and looking to fill the gap of Aeroplane Monthly magazines (gap is 1991-1999).
