How do you get rid of old White Dwarves?

No, not the aged caucasian midgets that room in your basement, I mean the monthly GW mag.

I have a couple hundred of these things and they might be fun to read over again if I had the time.... but I don't.

I am wondering if anyone has had any great success in offloading these things as I am looking to declutter my basement, and just want to be rid of these.

I imagine that ebay is not the best bet as shipping could get very expensive very quickly, and I do not want to do separate auctions for each and every mag.

Advice welcome!

Put them through a shredder for bedding for the giant rabbit in the other thread. :D

Compost them.

Recycle them as mini coffins for all the flings that keep dying.

1) Sort them according to colour
2) Lay them out so when flying high above you see the logo of whichever company you're not quite fond of.
3) Get a virgin (not yourself, or things might get a bit difficult).
4) Get a stake
5) Erect that in the centre of the logo
6) Tie the virgin to the stake
7) Set fire to the logo, and say the right incantantions to get Nuffle to bless your dice.

Or take the normal route and just curse the bastard when your back aches after the 3rd trip up from the cellar with a box full of paper crap.

Depends how old they are, the older ones will sell online, anything before roughly 150 as these actually had some good articles, after that burnings good :evil:

1. Carefully tear three pages (or more) out and bin them.
2. Leave them open at the place where the pages were, in the toilet that your house-guests normally use.
3. Hide the toilet paper behind the toilet (so it's not obviously in view, but it's there).
4. Wait for a VERY interesting conversation (or at least some funny looks) the next time you have house-guests. ("Whaddaya mean yo used my mag!?")

For aded fun, do the same with a different white dwarf next time the same people come back (if they come back).


Or recycle them, whatevers good for you...

Hire 200 bee suits and take 199 friends to raise hell at the biggest beehive you can find. Whack away until the magazines are useless pulp and then dump in a nearby hedge. Wait around a for a couple of weeks while wasps move in and make a nest out of the pulp and then tell the bees that the wasps called their queen a ho. Sit back and watch the warfare (do not bring fizzy drinks, the stripey little critters will get all distracted). Just when one side thinks it's winning have a small force of hornets side with losing side and see if they can turd the tide of the battle.

OR... send them to GW in a big package marked "remember when you did more than peddle the latest edition of warhammer to spotty teenagers" and see if it does any good at all.*

* it won't :wink:

I have to agree. That's the coolest halfling team I've ever seen.

If I owned that team, I'd play them at every opportunity, tournaments and all.
