I have collection of Antique Automobile Magazines. Antique Automobile is published by the Antique Automobile Association. There are six issues per year, and I have from late 1957 thru 1992 inclusive. I am missing six issues within this range. I also have several member rosters from the 1970s. They're in pretty good shape, as far as magazines go.
They cover older classics like brass era and pre-war stuff, which doesn't really interest me.
I have had these for years, but I would like to sell them if I can. Anyone have any idea (other than eBay) where I could sell these? I'd like to sell the whole set as one.
If I can't sell them, I'd give them away, as long as they wouldn't be sold or just destroyed.
Didn't know where else to ask.
Let me know.
Thanks!
I've never had much luck selling complete magazine collections, although I did OK-ish on partial collections that I "parted out" on ebay. The killer is usually postage as paper is rather heavy.
Given the nature of your magazines, maybe it's worth advertising them in something like Hemmings Motor News?
You can try a used bookstore. There is a chain around here called Half Price Books. They won't give you much for them, though. I bought a couple of those that had MGs featured in them years ago at one.
I was recently offered a nice Road & Track collection. The thing is that we have one at the office, plus I have my own. This one went further back, but the big problem is storage. My house is always full of more magazines than I'll ever get to read.

It's a great place to unload crappy stuff you don't want - They give you minimum - but I have found a great amount of car books at each location.
