UK source for vintage hi-fi mags

[jazzpiano]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good UK source for vintage hi-fi mags? I'm thinking of all the late 70s/early 80s Hi-Fi Choice Guides and Hi-Fi Answers I stupidly discarded when I got married.

Not the convenient answer you'd want, but as someone who went through the same thing...

On two separate occasions when buying a single copy of HFA on Ebay the sellers approached me to see if I'd like to buy a load more (unadvertised). I ended up with over 8 years of editions very easily, which took me back to my pre-marital state :) It may be complete coincidence but I suspect that with magazine sales there are people out there who don't want the aggravation of putting loads of individual copies of magazines up for sale, so advertise a few then see if the buyers want to do a deal for more offline.

As a more immediate solution for you emporiumshed on Ebay usually carry a few hundred old hi-fi mags.

I've got quite a few missing & find it impossible to source them :(

Yes, at silly prices - £12 for an old Hi Fi News and Record Review? !

Agreed, but it's an option in an otherwise thin marketplace.

Besides "everything is negotiable" ;)
