Hey all,

I have MacAddict complete set, excluding Issues 3 or 4. I also have MacWorld April 96 - 00, Mac Home 96 - end, Wired 96 - 03, etc. These are estimates, until I take full inventory. I also have a whole box of baseball cards from 1990-92 time frame.

How do I evaluate their prices and get max sale dollar for them? I am miles high in debt and and to sell this stuff to get out of debt and clear my place of this stuff.

Heh, regarding the cards from 1990-1992, they're way over produced and unless you have something rare in there, you won't get anything for them.

I doubt the magazine collection would be worth very much. I found a MacAddict collection similar to yours selling on Amazon for $12.

Overproduced? I have cards from about 1987 or so that I've been saving. Maybe it's time to toss them to reclaim the storage space.

As I said, depending on what you have, the majority of the cards from the 80's/early 90's are not worth the cardboard they're printed on.

Try eBay. You never know and it won't cost you much to post these things for sale.

As far as baseball cards go, one card could be worth as much as 1000 cards, you need to know what you have.

Heh, I used to have a full set of MacAddict (before the rebranding to maclife) but tossed a lot of them when I moved. I didn't think I'd get much for them.

Agreed on trying eBay. Craigslist is a good idea too.
