Where to sell/donate old magazines?

[JonDuke]

I have a couple hundred magazine that I'd like to get rid of.
150ish Soldier of Fortune magazines from the late 80's/early 90's,
50-75ish martial art mags (I forget the title), most of them featuring Bruce Lee,
And a dozen or so Hit Parader from the early 70's.

They are in decent shape (I don't know anything about grading systems)
The worst part is that they were stored in the room of a heavy smoker, and they stink. Badly.

I'd like to sell them, if anyone knows where (if) there's a market for them.
Or, if no seller is found, I'd be happy to donate them to someone who would actually read and appreciate them. (Maybe a army vets club or something? I dunno)

They were my dads. He held onto them for a long time, and I'd like to do something instead of throwing them into a dumpster.

Any ideas?

Fair's Fair (at least the one on 9th in Inglewood) sells old magazines. Mainstream stuff like a 2005 Maxim with a forgotten starlet on the cover. This collection seems a little more rare than that, so maybe give them a try.

EBay. The soldier of fortune magazines may be collectible. Look there under sold items for price ranges.

I've heard rice can absorb smoke smells if you think that's a factor to get a better price. I'd keep trying. Rather than dumpster, even posting it on Kijiji for a case of beer is probably going to get a few curious offers.

I go to the Fair's Fair in Crowfoot once a month and was just there two days ago. Never even thought of them as a destination for magazines and will check next time I'm there. Thanks!

They have 12 month yearly lots for $95ish, plus a disgusting amount of shipping. I'm not a fan of Ebay, but this is a sweet idea as well because I could sell mine for half that, and still make a few bucks.
