Large Collection - Possible Value

Hi guys, 

I have recently acquired a large collection around 550 mags of NGs. Years range from 1932 - 2007, and good condition, would like to simply get rid of them on an auction site in New Zealand. Just wondering whether people might be able to let me know an approximate value to look for, not looking to make money, simply want to get rid of them. 

Cheers guys, and Merry Xmas

Zac,

Based on figures from this site (compiled by Melvin De Vilbiss) the value of individual  magazines in VG condition by decade(sliding scale downward as you reach the end of the decade):  is:

1930 - $10

1940 - $7.50 (with war years sometimes asking more)

1950 - $5

1960 - $2

1970 - $.50

I hope this gives you a ball park of your magazines value.....
