100's of old M...
 

[Closed] 100's of old MBUK magazines. What to do with them.

So I started collecting MBUK pretty much from when it came out.

Over the years the more I have got the less I have wanted to throw them away.

So I now have piles upon piles of MBUK. I don't have every issue as I went through a few fazes of not subscribing.

Does anyone else have a collection like this. Finding it a bit hard to throw them all away as I have collected them for so many years. Don't really know why I have kept them.

Is it worth keeping them, thoughts?

your local council probably offers a free recycling service
failing that your local doctors or dentist will

they were asking in the magazine for old issues a couple of years ago, might be worth checking if they want any old ones still.

I had them all from 92-98 but I think my parents cleared them out the loft 🙁

Number 2 son had them all when younger before he got into skateboarding. All stacked up in the cupboards. Couldn't bear chucking them but had to be ruthless & not regretted it. Kept the maps tho ( I like maps...)

Use them all to create a giant paper mache Jamie Hibberb voodoo doll. Set fire to it.

I'm also hording WMB and MBR magazines, including the MBR 1st issue. It seems like destroying history to just bin them!

If you want rid of them you'll get around £5 posted each for the 1990/5 ones on retrobike. Even more for any earlier copies. 😮
