Dad's been collecting copies of the Scientific American since May 67. For years they've been read and then carefully stored in the loft, doing nothing but gathering a bit of dust. Most of them are in immaculate condition, and from May 67 to Dec 03, there are only 21 issues missing – mostly because of non-deliveries.
Dad has nowhere to store them now, so they're for sale on eBay. I feel a bit sad – I would have liked to have been able to give them a home, but I don’t know where I’ll be moving to when I move from here, and it seems silly to cart about boxes and boxes of old magazines.
I do hope that someone who will get more out of them than I would will find them and buy them.
Scientific Americans (that's the magazine, not people) for sale

I think 75 is a bit low a price for a collection like that. As a collector of anything I feel sad as well. I hope the new owner(s) will be good collectors as well.

Well, yes, but then, they are only worth what someone will pay for them. I hope someone does eventually pay a bit more, but we'll have to see.
