Only National Geographic. Like many people, I accumulated them. Now they get recycled immediately after reading because you can't give them away (and re-reading, although enjoyable, is unlikely)
I subscribed to Fine Woodworking for about 30 years and kept every issue. To make room in my workshop I sold them off a few years back. There were lots of willing buyers on Craigslist. Also sold off about 10 years of AG for a small sum.

Reading magazines online just doesn’t work for me. As with books, I want the real thing. A page on my IPad just doesn’t do it for me. I used to get the Taylor freebie Wood & Steel but they have gone digital with that so I will never see it again. Of course, I also listen to CDs and vinyl rather than stream so I accept being a dinosaur 🦖.
I have thought about selling the Flatpicking Guitar magazines & CDs, but I think shipping would be a nightmare.

But (1) book rate postage still exists and (2) based on my recent internet purchases and sales, buyers who are buying from individuals expect to pay the shipping costs.

I’d forgotten Fine Woodworking magazine. I used to have years worth save up in boxes in the basement. After some water damage, I threw them all out.
Then I discovered I could buy a thumb drive with every back issue included. That was two or three years ago so I’m not current any more but that will probably be OK.

Oh, I know they would have to pay shipping. I was thinking more of the boxing and transporting to the post office.

Consumer Reports, the New Yorker (I actually intended to subscribe to the New York Times!), and the Oregon State Bar Bulletin - it comes with membership.

I still get Acoustic Guitar and enjoy it. I buy it off the news stand most months.

Something from AARP that we seldom read. Something from another organization that we never read. Discover. Arizona Highways because somebody gave us a gift subscription.
