Tons of Old Magazines

I have been buying computer magazines since secondary school. By average, I bought two or three magazines each month in the past few years.

I never sold or dumped any of my magazine. Can you imagine how many old magazines I have collected? I have old magazines at every corner of my house!

Recently, I started cleaning up the old magazines. I have sold 66KG of old magazines. It was only a small part of my whole collection!

My current tactic is by cleaning up old magazines bit by bit, corner by corner (whenever I am free). I think it will take one or two weeks to clear. After that, I will have more spaces for my books.

Do you keep or throw old magazines? By the way, you can get free magazines here. :)

P.S. Perhaps I should digitize my magazines?

  • Have you thought of selling them in ebay???? it could work..
  • actually, u can sell at ebay too at RM2 per copy, excludes postage.
    who know ...
  • I think my collection might be more that you though. I've been subscribing to 3 magazines at once including ZDNET, PC WORLD and more directly from the US and UK before PC World/PC Mag Malaysia was published.

    Now I am only subscribed to PC Magazine Malaysia.

    What I did was I donated the old magazines to school and to my nephew.
  • Just wonder how much have you made by selling the 66kg magazines?
  • What? 66kgs??? That is really amazed! :P

    Better recycle it since the info there are mostly out of date.

    Digitise it for personal use? I guest you dun need old info right?
  • waaaa liew,

    you're so good in selling haaa...
    majalah lama pun nak jual kat blog...

    anything can sell, just sell.... then we can see the money. btw, it's better to sell hear than sell it to the "surat khabar lamaaaaa.......". they just pay you RM0.15 per kg.
    (i don't know in kluang rates, but in JB, that's tha rates!)
  • Digitise magazines? Hmm....copyright issues man.

    @Jaynier: There is no specific amount for you to start earning with Adsense. Just pick your niche, post regularly and submit your blog to web directories and search engines. Then the earnings will start to come in :D

  • That's a lot of magazines. Hey...

    @LcF : hey... do you know what's the recommended number of post needed to start earning from AdSense? Can you estimate. How many post do you have here?
  • In my opinion you should recycle all your computer magazines.

    In this age and time, computer mags/books tend to go obsolete a month into print. The Internet has changed how information is transferred to the masses. It's now the almost absolute latest update in realtime.

    Previously, I too use to buy computer mags. However, it never was for research or learning something... mostly for keeping myself awake during MRT commutes :)
  • Haiya!

    66 KG and counting? Why not donate it to Pusat Latihan Khidmat Negara?

    They could put it in a huge sack and use it as a punching bag. You know how those kids love to smack each other?

    You could have you blog address printed on the sack you know ?
  • You can open a computer related magazine bookshop LcF. JK.
  • LcF
    er... I mean computer related magazines, not "Computer Magazine" :)

    I wish to have computer magazine monthly too, but RM10 each seems to be too pricey to me. I have only 2 or 3 computer related magazine. =p
