317031 2005-01-22 12:37:00 I have some back issues of pc world.
Is it illegal to list them up at trademe for sale?
Not earning any profit.I'll just put them up as $1 reserve and $5 postage

Do i need permission from pcworld?

317032 2005-01-22 17:18:00 never heard of anyone needing or asking for a publishers permission to re-sell their old bookss.............. drcspy (146)
317033 2005-01-22 18:08:00 Do i need permission from pcworld?I don't think its an issue UNLESS you make copies. Selling photocopies of PC World on trademe would be BAD!

317034 2005-01-22 23:30:00 Nope, perfectly legal. Provided you sell the orginals and destroy all backups :D Edward (31)
317035 2005-01-23 04:19:00 I don't see how it could cause any legal issues, because what you are selling are old magazines you bought -I hope. If you make a copy then sell the original, then that's illegal. But if it's just passing ownership then it should be fine.

Why not just keep them to refer to in 20 years time ;) We could then reflect on the progress made since now. Might not have everybody onboard, but beetle, etc. will still be here :p

.... and probably /me as well. :nerd:

317037 2005-01-23 04:42:00 Wouldn't think so. Remember that the Yanks do a lot of things differently to the rest of the world. I'd just say they're weird. ~sy~ (95)

Yep - wish I had kept all my old Speccy mags from the 80s. Now that would be laugh to look back to.
I dread to think back to how many hours I wasted playing 'Manic Miner' and "Jet Set Willy'.

Raving about whether powwer users really need that extra grunt that you get with a 486 dx 33 over a 386 and whether its worth the insane price difference.
The descriptions on most articles are similar to current issues.
Speed Demon" 486 dx 100, p100 etc
"Gigantic hardrives " (1.2 gig)
"Killer App"
"Blazing speed" 8 x cd drive
etc etc
and the headings that didn't quite match up with the hype
"LS120 the floppy Killer" (still see a lot of floppy drives but stuff all LS 120 drives)
wouldn't give my collection away, nostalgia, humour and history all rolled into one :)
