Got a few piles of mtb mags piling up. The oldest ones from 1998, and going all the way up until the last year or two. A random mix of all the mags, MTBR, MBUK, WMTB, MTB Action, Dirt, pretty much every bike magazine that has been around is in there!

I was wondering what are the chances of someone wanting to buy them? (or at the least take them off me) or should I just bin the lot?
A lot or rare gems in there 😉 .

I did keep them for a while to look back at reviews or trail maps, but everything's on the net these days so no need now.

Keep them, in a few years(maybe a good few) you'll get a fiver each. Your currently paying around a fiver for early/mid nineties mags.

Check on Bikeradar - there was a thread from some squaddies after them for Camp Bastion.

You even get a BFPO post thing so it's free to send up to 2kg per parcel.

🙂

All time no. 7? Doubt it, my early ones are mostly mbuk, mbr, wmbt and a few odd balls thrown in.
