my father has 40 years worth in binders to get rid of.

ebay they will sell but you wont get a lot for them
i have a whole set of encyclopedia brittanica from 1952 and a similar one went for £4 recently
stuff has to be rare to attract big money
I had 250 bodybuilding mags from the 70-80s got £100 for those

they are in a bookcase, probably made from plans from one of the mags.

we found a load of old "carpenter and builder" periodicals from 1910-1920 in a sealed loft
my boss at the time frenchy snaffled them
think he got a pound each at carboots
its heart breaking that someones lifes collection is worth so little but these magazines dont get published unless there is a big enough readership ,meaning there are a lot around
my old fella invested 25 k in a steam engine magazine that went skint after 5 issues,that may be worth summat in year to come as they sold so little :;):
