What to do with old Parachutist and Skydiving magazines?

[ksjumper 0]

I'm having a hard time parting with my magazines although I know I will never look at them again once a new one comes. I've accumulately several boxes over time. I'm moving soon, what should I do?

You could bundle them up and send them to a smallish newish DZ , local or overseas even.

You left out ebay. Put them up in 2-3Year Bundles Start them cheap (start them at 2.99) with a fair shipping and handling rate. Get the weights go to usps.com and figure out the price to ship them from CA to Florida. that would give you a "Fair" Shipping Charge then add 5-10 Handling for boxing,taping,peanuts/bubblewrap and taking to the post office. They will end up in a good home :)

There is a pile of old (1978 ish+) mags at Cark in the UK, really interesting to flick though and have a look at the pics etc. I vote donate them.

I take mine to work, they are always the first to disappear.

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

send them to the uk and show us what we are missing.

I gave them all to my local library.

Throw them on your scanner and make a web site out of the cover photos.

Our house gets two per month. I bring them to the store and give them to enthusiastic tandem customers.

I'm a believer in donating. Get about 6 months worth of each, take them out to the dz & give'm to the newbs. They'll grab'em up.

who's to friggin say that you live a populated (or unpopulated) enough area to get a kids head at the right height.

friggin stereotypical ideas...the uspa are super-geniouses

I made up my mind some time ago not to keep them piling up, but I sure did enjoy looking back at the old covers. Thanks for doing that, it brought back some memories....

wow, I was browsing a couple of covers. 1972. This must have been just about the third picture ever taken with a fish-eye lens...
At the time you had to lock the mirror up, and weren't abel to compose the picture through the viewfinder. I think there was a thingy you could attach to the flash mount to have a rough idea of what you were shooting...

I just can't put them in the trash or otherwise destroy them !!! I call it "reverse shoplifting". When I go anywhere that has a waiting room, I take a couple of magazines and read them while I wait. When I am called, I just put them on the rack as if that is where I found them !!!

Take em to the DZ and give them to the new jumpers. They'll love em. I wish I'd have had a stack when I started.

I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

I drop mine off at a local kindergarten / Preschool. The kids love the photos and cut them up for 'art' projects.

illegible usually

We actually do have an outhouse at our DZ. I'd probably only put the old skydiving mags out there. You know, the ones that are more newspaper-like. It'd be kinda like using an old Sears & Robucks catalog.
