Worth of back issues of Fine Woodworking ?
John Michael Linck
I recently visited a used bookstore and saw that they sell back issues
of magazines. I have guite a stack of Fine Woodworking (1-80 something)
and they offered me 50 cents per issue. Is this a good price? I would
like to sell them but don't want to sell too low. Do any of you know
what is a fair price?
Thanks very much,
John

Several used bookstores in Tucson, AZ had FWW at $2 or $3 per issue,
depending on the age. I suspect they would have offered you $1 each if you
were selling. (They want to make some $$$ too.....)

Greetings,
Issue 1 can retail for 50 dollars US, issue 2 for 35. After that the retail
price drops quickly. Expect to get half of the retail price. For
a complete set, you can sell it through a posting on rec.woodworking
for 200 to 300 dollars US depending on your greed and the buyer's desire.
Sincerely,
Bill Thomas

about 3 yrs. You couldn't buy mine for 2-3 dollars ea. I use them
alot for reference. If you see no more value in them other then 50 cents,
sell.
