I know I'm a little late in posting this (I'm out of practice), but just a quick msg. to let everyone know my HSM magazine collection sold. Thanks everyone for the experience. ?-js
While maybe cheaper, a digital version just isn't the same, even if I printed it out in color at work.

??? ??? I just went to the HSM site case I was wonderin if the y
had the back issues on disc , but by the year not monthly disc . I
didn't see where they do that though other mag's offer that
feature .
??? ??? What I don't understand is why do some of the digital
month issues cost $ 8.50 & then the one next to it cost $ 5.00
. I was buying HSM & their other one for a while & out of
the 30-40 of them I have here from the last 10 years I think I
only found one article that was worth the price of the mag to me
& unfortunately I lost that issue & I don't remember which
issue it was? . Seems
to me that a 60-70 page magazine should have more than 5 articles
per month . I now get the magazine from England sent to my
computer every month . I also save $$$ that way cause I'm not
buying stuff from the add's , though I have bought from I think
Aerotrade (sp) before & the shipping to Ca US? was more
reasonable then alot of US shippers .

I've been buying them as I
find one I need (for certain values of "need" anyway) since
ebay was a pup, and ordering from Village Press when I can't
find them any other way. Getting a bunch of them in one
swell foop would be really good. IIRC, oldest issue I have
is from early 90's, as that's about when I first found out
about them. Moved too often before then, and spent five
years overseas, too.?

True,
but it is possible, as i bought 18 years of back
issues (6-12 issues at a time sometimes 99C per and
sometimes up to $6 per issue), from an eBay seller and
have a few dozen shipping boxes to show for it. HSM,
MW, DM, and Live Steam
.
This
offer at about $1.25 is an excellent bargain seeing as
99c was 7 years ago. Don't kick yourself for not
acting. The eBay guy is still there if you want to
wait at 99c-up.
.
This
effort would possibly be 4-5 boxes, 200 issues at 50
per box? 40 per box? altho. 40 years would be 480
issues of HSM 240 + MW240 plus a few specials, so
there are still some missing issues....

If I understood correctly, he has 40
years worth of magazines there. It's going to be
quite the effort to pack and ship. Quite a bit of
postage, too. Worth it to me, but I'll understand
if it's not worth it to him. :)

Hey Guys:
I'm starting to feel my age lately
and not been very active here for
quite a while.? I haven't gotten any
response from C.L. ?so I thought I'd
try here next.? I have a very large
collection of Home Shop Machinist
magazines in excellent condition
going back to 1982 thru the end of
2022.? My major interest now is
getting rid of the clutter that has
enveloped me for some time. I'm
offering the lot (more than 200
issues) to anyone that wants them
for any offer of ?$240 or more.
Further details can be found on the
Buffalo, NY Craigslist site, under
general.? The downside is you must
buy them all as I can't spend time
locating individual articles. I need
them all gone, and soon.? Shipping
is not available, so it has to be a
local pickup.? I live in western NYS
near Niagara Falls. Contact me any
way you can (no texting though) if
you are interested. ? Thanks. -js
