I have all of the issues of Woodsmith Magazine and most of the printed indexes. I signed on for a subscription when the magazine was first being offered and have maintained the subscription all along. Nopages are missing but a few have notes written in them that I made when building the projects. In hindsight I should have made a copy but then who knew I would end up with 191 issues and the "need" to get rid of them. The first issue arrived in January 1979 and consisted of 8 pages. Woodsmith is now part of August Home Publications but originally it was a privately owned business, as I understand. The first issue came with plans for a countertop bread storage piece with a tambour door and I have that as well. I've enjoyed all of them and had fun collecting each issue for 32 years. The question is, what are they worth in the woodworker's market? I understand the, "willing seller, willing buyer" thing and have looked this up on Ebay but nowhere have I found someone parting with all of the issues. Any thoughts?

I'd just offer them at whatever I'm comfortable with and see if they sell. If I under-priced, no one to blame but me. If I over-priced, then the buyer paid what they were willing. Had similar sale issues, but learned to apply that policy. I've short sold myself a few times before. If you did all rsearch available, then there aren't really more options that don't require math that's fuzzier than a million puppies.
