Yes, I sell my magazines for $2.50 plus shipping. I had to have all the quilting magazines for several years and now don't have space for them, so am selling them to other quilters.
I find that you never know when you might want to make a special pattern and if you don't have it, it can be expensive to replace. Besides, I love to browse through them from time to time and am amazed at how many I find that I want to make someday. Those I scan into the computer now if I don't lose my harddrive again, I'll have them in a lot less space. But I miss a lot of really great patterns when I sell an issue.
Just let your husband know that this is your "clutter" and not his. Keep them under the bed if you need to hide you magazines, but don't get rid of unless you really have to.
