It would appear I have some surplus to requirements. Some are out of date, ie cos I've bought the new one, by perhaps 5 years. Some are duplicates or may contain a little colouring. 😳

Do you think I could sell them for a few quid each or as a job lot? New ones are around £8 I believe. Just seems a shame to throw them in the recycling bin.

As always, thank you so much. 🙂

there's always ebay or a charity shop. Not sure if they're worth much second hand unless they're really old, but I wouldn't just thorw 'em away.

You could try, I've got loads of them, but I suspect they are essentially worthless unless you hold on to them for a hundred years or so.

Thanks very much for the replies. Must confess to having a map habit so would be nice to get a little money back.

Will put an ad in the Classifieds in a wee while.

Thanks again! 🙂
