Will trade DVDs for old TV Guides - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lazygrae · 07-28-2005, 03:05 PM

Looking for almost every issue of TV Guide (US editions) from Sept.-Dec. 1967 and Jan. 1969 – Mar. 1980, almost inclusive (I have several from 1970 already). Want them for research, not for "collectability" so they don't have to be in great shape. So long as the interiors are complete and readable, I don't care about mailing labels, loose covers, crosswords being done etc.

I will pay the outstanding balance to offset postage costs as I'm in Canada and they can be expensive to ship e.g. if I spend $10 on postage to send discs and it costs you $40 to ship the magazines, I'll send you $30, or additional discs, to make up that difference.

I have a pretty big list of shows from that same time period so if anybody's interested, my list of what I can offer is here:

I have some older editions. How does a trade of this sort work? Does it depend on the rarity of the TV Guide?

I'll pm you, thanks for replying.

And thanks for bringing up your points. As I stated, I'm not looking for collectability and am not prepared to, for instance, send 20 discs for an issue because it has a Star Trek cover.

I was watching a (ship to US only - ugh!) eBay auction yesterday where 80 issues from the 70s in fair condition went for under $7, or less than $.10 each. Last night I won an almost-complete set of 48 issues from 1968 for $41, still less than $1 each. That's the kind of value I put on them. Basically I'm thinking one disc for one issue, but am flexible and would consider other arrangements depending on what I am offered.
