Q about auctioning Ornament collection

I'm debating whether to sell off my Ornament Magazine collection (it's a
BIG one). I'd like input (via EMAIL please) ( ) about any
interest there might be. I'd be willing to combine issues (3 per auction)
to specific interests if contacted beforehand, but given the amount of work
this would entail, I don't want to do it if there's no response.

Again, please reply to me via email only, and only thru the clickable addy
in the former paragraph (my OE has some sort of bug, and closes down when I
try to reply to emails thru it...and I can't seem to get the 'reply to'
changed.)

Spamcop.com provides email addresses that filter out spam. And people do
pay for old, back issues of magazines - on ebay and other auction places.
Jeez.

Not considering her reply to the original post.

Nonsense. She apparently didn't know about spamcop, and was surprised
there was a market for old magazines.

You act(ed) like she was a total idiot for not knowing these two things,
and asking legitimate questions.

You came across as smug, condescending, and above it all. But I guess
that's just "you".

Not sure what to say to this. I don't think I came across that way, but if I
did, I do apologize. I was irritated because the post to which I responded
sounded to me as if it were an attack on the original post. I don't
appreciate attacks. However, if I was mistaken, then I apologize.

Nobody was in the least condescending. The reply was succinct and
accurate. Not everybody feels the need to couch everything in smiley
faces and cute comments to express friendliness, and doing without
them is certainly not smug and condescending.

Also, not everybody does know about selling old magazines -- Ornament,
which is pricey to start with and has historical value to artists on
many levels, is a good example of one that can be resold, and if in a
complete run for several years, maybe even for close to the cover
price. (This would be to a collector who missed those issues or a
library that needs them to fill out a collection, mostly.) Sunset (or
more commonly, National Geographic) are examples of titles that might
not have salability -- too common, too easy to get. (However, never
hurts to try!)

I am a librarian. I once sold (to a commercial resale vendor) back
issue computer magazines and some other kinds for $10,000. (Of course,
the original subscription prices of a few of them were $300 PER ISSUE
($1200 per year, quarterly) so it's not so exciting as it seems!)
People want to donate old magazines to us (in my current library) all
the time (especially National Geographics) but we don't have a use for
them, and in the end we'd have to pay a tipping fee at the dump to get
rid of them. Nobody here has the time or resources to try to deal them
on Ebay.

If I were trying to sell back issues of Ornament I would suggest
bundling them by year. You could ask at a public library for referrals
to a commercial vendor like I used, and they would make you an offer
based on the run of issues available -- and pay shipping. Or use Ebay.
