I tie mine together and donate to our local library book sale. They can get much more if there's an entire year tied together.

Most don't even sell - check out "completed listings" - even though a very few do.

Does your community have an online "Freecycle" program?
Pretty great concept - you can give things away, If you see things you want you can respond and maybe get them - all free! You must give to be able to recieve though...

You might even ask a quilt shop if they would put them out for people to take and enjoy. They are treasures.

Take them to a guild meeting and watch them vanish.

Give them to the library. Patrons often ask me if we have any sewing or quilting magazines, books or old patterns at our book sales. This helps us keep our libraries open.

"You can do that. Or donate them to a senior center, nursing home, or quilt guild. Some here may want them, and if they are willing to pay postage, it's a positive thing for everyone"

Our quilt guild meets at the Senior Center and we love when our members bring in their old/used/not needed anymore magazines.

Oh...don't throw them out! Give to a local quilt guild or quilt show. One of my favorite places at a quilt show is the guild vending...often magazines there for pennies!
