Hey guys I was given about 5 to 600 vw magazines form the late 80's through the 90's. I havnt really looked through them all but I know I got both hot vws and vw trend. I can verify the years later on but I do know I got almost every issue from 1980's date to 1999ish date.

Anybody know what this would be worth?

With enough time spent at swap meets (probably 6 to 7 of them), you might be able to get $1.00 each out of them.

Not much more than you paid.

80s to 90s stuff I see at swap meets for $1 each or less.

I've also seen people with milk crates of them for $10-$20.

I hear that heating oil is going up again this winter, you might keep that in mind.

I'll buy the April 1990 VW Trends if you have it.

when i used to buy the foreign mags, i liked to resell them to make back some of that money. those damn things were expensive. yeah the domestic ones i would 1.00 each or do like buy 12 for 10bucks. stuff like that

They are not old comic books. I'd bet you could not get a $100 for all 600 of them. There might be 40-50 of them that have an important tech article in them that somebody might need and be willing to give you a buck each. The rest you would have a hard time giving away.

There was an ad in my local paper for about 500 free VW mags, I didnt bother go get them...

I actually had about 300 or so sitting around after finishing building my collection. I posted an ad for free on the local club site. It took almost 2 months for someone to step forward and take them. I was glad to be rid of them. If you have '70's stuff, it can be worth much more.
