Would anyone be interested in old Atari computer magazines?

[bfollowell]

Since our subdivision is having the first of their two annual yard sales this weekend, my wife and I have been cleaning on our attic. I know I have lots of stuff to go through. I have several large boxes of Atari computer magazines, mostly Analog, ST-Log, Antic, and STart. I've had pdfs of all of these for quite some time, so I know those are prime discard material. I haven't looked at any of them in almost twenty years as I just pull up the pdf if I'm interested in reading through any of them. Sometime after the yard sale I plan to start going through other items, like those magazines, and getting rid of anything that I have an electronic copy of. I'm just gauging interest to see if anyone would be interested in them or if I should just plan on sending them to the landfill. Most were read through cover to cover many times and are well worn and loved. I would gauge the condition of the best of them as Good, and then down from there. Some have subscription stickers, from people I don't know. Some have torn covers or covers that have come off but are still there.

Keeping in mind that the best of them are a far cry from what I would consider collectible condition, would anyone be interested in these for their collection? If so, I'll try to catalog them when I start going through things in a few weeks and will post here before discarding anything. It goes against my grain to just throw something like this out, but I have access to them electronically and I must stop hoarding things I never use, but I'd much rather these go to a good home if anyone is interested in them rather than trashing them.

Let me know what you guys think.

PM sent. I am interested in the Analog and Antic.

OK, I've already received a couple of PMs from interested parties, so I'll let them know when I go through everything and see what I have. If they change their minds later, when I get everything ready, I'll post back to this thread then. I'll be glad to see these go to good homes.

Yes, we would absolutely be interested original issues!! Well, at least me and a few others are. I love holding and (re)-reading original material.

 

Thanks for posting this before tossing anything!

 

I will send you a PM as well.

Old mags to the landfill...arrrgh....noooo

 

Seriously though, you should have a gandrer on ebay first. You might be surprised at what these old mags are going for these days.
