Hi all,

I am moving house and it occured to me that I am keeping my collection of EVOs (issues 70 to 120 ish, more than half of them collectors editions) just for the sake it, as I haven't read any of them since I moved in a year ago. I put them on ebay, but nobody was interested, so they will be going to the skip tomorrow unless somebody here wants them? I think it would be a shame to throw them away, but I have been lugging way too much crap with me over the years...

Free to collect from Harrogate if you wish, dunno about postage as it makes a really heavy box...

Can't even give them away!

I would take them, but you're about 300 miles too far away to collect from!

I drop my old ones down to the local doctor's surgery.

It's nice to see the old ones on the rare occasions I go and how well read they are.

I was going to suggest the doctors or the dentists. Or how about a tyre fitting place?

I suppose you threw them on Ebay as a job lot? Only way the stuff sells is to auction them all as separate items - lots of work so I can see why you can't be bothered but few people can be arsed to go and collect a whole set if it's just the issue with a road test or feature of their own car, or their dream car, they want.

I did yes, I really couldn't be bothered listing all 50 of them... only cos i don't wanna throw them away, not trying to make a profit... I had a £20 buy it now...

Do you still have the mag's to pass on to a new loving and caring home?

If so, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands

All my old ones go to my mums work (a male urology clinic) where they are greatly appreciated for the pure fact they are not some stupid womens magazine.

Re read his post he has already tried to sell them and it didn't work and PH is its last option before the bin.

Sorry Darren, I rechecked the thread at lunch time, and as there was nothing new, I had to take action... Sorry!
