Don Coatney Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I have a large selection of old car and motorcycle magazines mostly from the 60's, 70's. Free to who ever wants to pay the shipping. They are heavy and I will not know the cost of shipping until I take them to the post office. PM me if interested. If not they are going to good will or the dump. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 FYI for Don or someone interested in getting them. I recently gave away a ton of hotrods too. They fit nicely in a medium sized flat rate box and you can mail them for fairly reasonable. Quote

Young Ed Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 How much is fairly reasonable? Testing my memory here but I believe 10.50 a box. I had a milk crate full of mags and it filled one box and most of a second. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Mail them book rate, its dirt cheap. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Mail them book rate, its dirt cheap. Magazines aren't eligible for book rate. Been there tried that. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 you be surprised how many will fit in a flat rate box..if you want priority mail that is..parcel post is still dirt cheap.. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I shipped some Skinned Knucles magazines recently and about 35 of them fit in a Priority flat-rate box for $10.95. One advantage of Priority Mail is that it gets where it's going in 3 days; parcel post can take forever. Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 DCCurrent has dibs on the first box. I believe I have enough to do a second box as soon as I dig them out. Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 Smokeybear has dibs on the second box. I dont believe I have enough for a third box so the offer is now closed. Quote
roadworthy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 don't know if "book rate" was UPS or something, but the US Post Office has media mail, and it includes books, magazines, dvd's, cd's... cheap Quote
Flatie46 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 I went through some of my old mags awhile back. Hard to part with them, I need to go through some more before I'm on one of those shows about hoarding. Quote
oldmopar Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 But they only know that if you tell them Quote
greg g Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 got about 20 years of Playboy starting in 68 if any one is interested..... Quote
Young Ed Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Or if they open the box:) Right so many people must have been abusing media mail that our post office has a sign that they inspect all media mail packages. Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 got about 20 years of Playboy starting in 68 if any one is interested..... Will you part them out? Quote
