After deciding to make way for more coin albums, I've realised I need to start off loading old editions of Maccas and Renniks.

Ebay is no good as the second hand market barely covers postage.

Salvos don't appear to have space (especially after Christmas).

Seem a shame to trash them, but does anyone else have any better ideas?

Give them to new collectors,

What about the local Library or school libraries.

What about local coin clubs......some like mine may have club tender sales (auctions) that members can bid on.

Also you could donate to the club for their library (if they have one) and lastly....give to local clubs to give out to new members who want them or to local schools who may have some young collectors.

Offer them to members here ?
Buy what gives you enjoyment

I haven't been able to locate too many local clubs down in Southern Tasmania. Might try school library. That could work.

For some strange reason, I hadn't thought of offering to members here. I'd assumed that most would have them, but perhaps I've assumed too much.

I'll list them tonight. I would really like to see them go to good homes.

Thanks for disabusing me of an incorrect notion.
