If you had, say, 20 years of Car Magazine and maybe a decade worth of old Evo magazines that you no longer wanted, how would you dispose of them? Would you just throw them away or would you find a more advantageous way or moving them on?

Please note I'm very specifically not actually asking what they might be worth if they were sold, or for any kind of valuation. Because asking for sensible advice like that about car magazines on a motoring forum full of people who've likely collected and disposed of magazines is apparently against the rules and would get this thread deleted. (Seriously! It actually happened..! I know...)

I'm just a long standing forum member asking for a little advice. I've got a load of old car mags and just wondering what to do with them, that's all. Nothing furtive, suspicious, underhand, clandestine, dishonest, unethical or devious.

I just would be interested in opinions on a car related matter on a car forum full of car enthusiasts. One or two of whom might have found themselves in a similar position in the past.

Anything else isn't worth the hassle.
Kind of what I figured but just wondered whether there was any point in, you know, doing other things with them (that might or might not include fair trade for special tokens that can be exchanged for other goods or services).

Plus it seems a shame to just ditch them. Oh well.

I took some used (but in good nick) copies of CAR to our local doctors. They couldn't take them, the reason, they were over 3 months old!

Sure, I'm sure blokes would much prefer to read one month old Take A Breaks than 6 month old car mags rolleyes
Take A Break at the dentist is my my guilty pleasure! It's an eye opener..! biggrin
