For Free: HUUGE Transworld Magazine Collection (15 years)
« on: September 01, 2021, 10:31:21 PM »
This worked well the last time I did this for my video collection, so I'm doing it again.

This time I'm giving away my Transworld magazine collection. There are years, and years of magazine. Missing a few issues here and there, but essentially a full collection spanning 2000-20015. 16 years of Transworld! Btw, it's funny to see how the magazine shrunk smaller and smaller over the years..

Free to a good home, you just pay the shipping. I have no idea what the best shipping method would be, but open to advice/suggestions. Unfortunately Google says that media mail doesn't allow magazine. Which stinks, cause this collection is HEAVY. I'm located in CA. If you feel like making a drive to pick them up, that might work.

Respond here or DM me if you're interested. Oh, and I'm trying to give away the whole collection at once. No cherry picking.

Thanks!

I should have just said I live in Central CA haha
Apparently a lot of SLAP lives in CA, but they are southern or northern.
Mags still available, and to anyone. I just can't say what shipping cost will be.

I think we have a winner. Thanks to everyone for playing.
For those interested, I hit up Kevin. We live too far apart, and the shipping doesn't make sense for him. I definitely like the project that he's doing.

That definitely makes sense.

Being realistic, even one box of magazines is pretty heavy, just like a box of blank paper reams (which is what I keep all my old mags in) and those things are best moved one at a time around here, so I couldn't imagine shipping a half dozen boxes of them across the country.

At least someone else will be able to benefit from having them.

It is always amazing going through old mags.
