Going through some boxes and found a stack of old White Dwarf. I’ll keep the first issue I ever bought as a memory but planning to get rid of the rest. Just wanted to check if there are people collecting these before they go into the recycling bin. If anyone’s interested I can make a list of which ones I have, and I’ll send them to anyone willing to pay for postage. Located in Sweden.
These are very much something to be preserved.
That’s what it feels like, but realistically I know that I hoard too much stuff and would probably never read them again, and if I do get the urge to feel nostalgic I think one or two issues will be enough to keep :) If postage turns out to be too much for any interested parties here, perhaps I’ll ask the local gaming stores if anyone there wants them.
If they’re in English and not too damaged, I’d be interested. Just check that there aren’t true collectors willing to buy them first, you might make some money
Didn’t even know they were printed in more languages than English, but yes they are. A little bit of wear from being read, but not too bad. I checked Ebay briefly but selling them individually seems too much work for what it’s worth for me, so I’m happy to give them away if someone else will enjoy them. I’ll check the issue numbers and weigh the stack tomorrow to see how much it would cost to send them somewhere
With reservation for typos, the issues I want to get rid of are 175, 178-199, 201-203, 208, 209, 211, 212, 217… Which ought to add up to 31 in total. I put them in a sturdy box on the bathroom scale and it said 8.6kg and looked up what it would cost to send them on postnord.se: 245 SEK within Sweden, €58 within EU, €63 rest of Europe, €105 rest of the world. Maybe DHL or UPS could be cheaper, dunno if anyone thinks its worth it.
WDs do not include any miniatures which originally came with them btw, but I noticed that at least one issue has some kind of cardboard buildings and tokens inserts that were intact. There’s also a 1994 Citadel Miniatures catalogue in very good condition, but it’s thick a.f. and heavy
You might check your friendly local game store(s) too! Some of them might be willing to buy them from you or put you in touch with local folks who would be interested.
Thanks for the tip, but I asked a while ago and they gave me a weird look and said they weren’t interested in any old games. They don’t sell any second hand stuff, and I suppose they rather sell something new to people instead of helping people find new owners. I did however bring all of my unpainted minis to a games convention a few years ago and traded them for other games. They didn’t want rules / starter boxes or magazines though, I think that’s more difficult to sell.
Melast paid for shipping so all the old WDs are on their way to their new home though :) I still have the Citadel Miniatures 1994 catalogue if anyone is interested, but it’s mostly black and white photos of unpainted minis and it weights 750g. I.e. a bit expensive to mail and probably not very interesting for most people unless they’re collectors
I don’t know about selling directly to shops. A lot of owners can be weird about that. I’ve made plenty of deals with people playing at the shops, though.
