I've finally run out of space, having filled two rooms. I have all the record collector magazines from early 1984 onwards and it looks like they will be "recycled" I did advertise them as a job lot - no charge - but no takers. I need to clear some space, so they will have to go along with loads of other magazines.

How about charity shops I've seen old Record Collector mags sold in several shops locally and they always seem to sell.

I have offered them but the quantity puts them off, as with all the others they amount to hundreds

Also Hospitals, Dentists, Vets etc anywhere that has a waiting room, would be better than reading Country Life.

The Record Collector magazines amount to about 400 issues, all stored in those boxes that you would get 5 reams of printer / photocopy paper in. and about 18 issues in each box. Along with the other magazines I need to get rid of ( Mojo, Vox, Q, Classic Rock etc).There are a lot of boxes !!!. What I want to do is to have them collected or put them all in the back of my mate's pick up truck and take them to the recycle centre.. I don't have the inclination to take some here, some there, etc. or let people cherry pick as some wanted to do.

Have you tried giving them away via Gumtree?

Yes - on the basis of buyer collects - but no takers, only cherry pickers who wanted those issues about The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys and so on. As many of them are over 30 years old in any case, perhaps the dump is the best place for them

I had the same type of issue a few years ago where i could not give away about 1200 music cassettes and lots of vhs tapes. I ended up taking them to the local recycling centre. Again I had some people who wanted to cherry pick, but I binned the lot.
