Getting rid of old Woodworking Magazines
 

I should have known better. Multiple subscriptions to woodworking
magazines means nearly 4 feet/yr of shelf space. I've cut back, for the
past decade, only subscribing to Woodsmith and Shopsmith.

But, I have years of Woodwork (they are defuct now, right?), Wood, and
Fine Woodworking that I'm looking to get rid of. Maybe others, I'm still
sifting through boxes from my last move.
Libraries don't seem interested. And the listings on eBay all seem to go
unsold.

Any thoughts on moving these? My priority is finding a good home for
them, as I don't imagine there's much money to be gained from selling.

Sounds like a great resource for people if they're in a public library.

A lot of geezers (some woodworkers among them) belong to organizations
such as the Elks, Eagles, VFW, Moose, American Legion, etc. Many of
these organizations have libraries/book exchanges that might have some
room for donations.

Too bad your library won't take them. Our library sells used magazines for $0.20 each and the years old 'woodies' go real fast.

I'd be willing to take the WOOD magazines off your hands. If you'd be
willing to ship vs USPS media mail, I'll return shipping when I know the
exact amount. I don't expect it to be much more than about $10.

Let me go though the mix and pull out the WOOD. Will contact you by next
weekend. I'll just ask you if you have a time period that you already
have. It's mostly 84-late 90's.

Sounds good. I'll make a list. My grandpa had a subscription for about a
year/two years, so I don't have a lot of them.

When we were touring potential retirement homes for my parents, we
encountered one that had a woodshop. You might try retirement homes,
the kind for active seniors.

Wonderful idea. My MIL lives in such a place, and it has a woodshop.

If you have a local woodworking club, I'm sure they can get rid of them fast.

Try Craig List. I got rid of many years of National Geographic this way. WW
