1980-2010 with maps and leather sleeves

[Elizabeth Zezima]

I am looking to sell or donate a complete set of National GEO magazines from 1980-2010 in excellent condition with all maps and leather sleeves. I was going to advertise on Craigslist for a local sale/pick up as it would be impossible to ship. I have no idea what to charge, but it should have some appeal to someone, and they are just sitting boxed in my basement (no, not directly on the concrete floor!). I have thought about asking local schools or libraries, but in the digital age, not sure if the actual magazines are of interest.  Would appreciate any thoughts/advise!  Thanks in advance, Liz

would you sell me the cases and maps only?

[Elizabeth Zezima]

Hi, Bruno. Yes, if I cannot get any interest in the magazines. I have to go through all the magazines to make sure all the maps are there, but according to my ex husband they are. Where do you live?

[bruno Amalberti]

I live in FL but I will pay for shipping and handling for the saes and maps, that is why I cannot get the issues, too far too heavy too costly

Hi again Bruno. Yes, I understand that unless I find someone very local, they are impossible to ship anywhere. I am checking a few more outlets here, and if no interest, I will inventory the maps and let you know. Do you have a offer price in mind? I have leather cases for all thirty years, so there are 60 of them.

Hi Bruno. Do you have an offer in mind for the 60 leather cases and the maps? Thanks, Liz

Well you ad says sell or donate. While I don't expect you to donate them to my familyI would like to know what the the least amount you are expecting for us to obtain these Thank you

I am willing to donate to charity but sell to an individual. I think for 60 cases a price of USD 300 is not unreasonable. That does not include shipping and handling, which is for the receiver's account. Pairs are selling on eBay for as little as $10, so that makes the collection worth twice that much at a minimum.  I have found a school that is interested in the maps. Let me know if this works for you.

[bruno Amalberti]

This is the same price that ebay sells them for . I would offer $150.00m where are you located

[Elizabeth Zezima]

Yes, sorry about the typo. I am in CT. I am leaving tomorrow on an overseas trip, returning on the 13th. I will be in touch when I get back and we can talk about a shipment.
