15 Oct 08 - 10:32 AM (#2466275) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Folk Form # 1 Southern Rag. That use to be an excellent folk music magazine. I didn't know that it was the precursor of fRoots, an advocate for World Music, which I hate. What went wrong? |

15 Oct 08 - 10:41 AM (#2466281) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: The Borchester Echo I'd have thought that the same editor and little-altered editorial team over the past three decades would have been a bit of a giveaway. Are you an associate of WAV to whom music of any provenance other than your own (which I assume to be somewhat WASPish) is an infraction of a narrow and constraining ideology? |

15 Oct 08 - 12:18 PM (#2466363) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Leadfingers So fRoots is not every body's Magazine of choice , but the unnecessary nastiness in this thread already is totally uncalled for . All Cally wants is some idea of the value of a sizeable chunk of British Folk History . I personally would be happy to relieve Cally of ALL the Southern Rag copies , if only for BorFolk ! |

15 Oct 08 - 04:12 PM (#2466596) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Hamish I got rid of about ten-years' worth a few years back. Free to a good home. The "buyer" collected. I can't remember if I suggested a voluntary donation to a charity or not, but at best it was nominal. -- Hamish |

15 Oct 08 - 04:40 PM (#2466625) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Leadfingers At least IAA is not biased against anything Non English , though a LITTLE appreciation of the 'home' scene woudnt do any harm ! |

15 Oct 08 - 06:57 PM (#2466766) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Folkiedave I declare an interest in that I deal in folk-related material. I had a complete set of folk roots from no. 1. to recent 2006 0r thereabouts. I advertised them on Ebay and out of how ever many years two issues sold - one to an Oyster Band fan and I can't remember the other. I gave the rest away. Not my best ever deal. So the short answer in :- unless you are very lucky - not much. Sorry. |

15 Oct 08 - 07:11 PM (#2466783) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: Folknacious According to Froots readership survey stats 78% of their readers keep their back issues. So possibly many that want them are likely to already have them. Your more likely to find interested people by putting them on their Wants & Sales board than here, I'd say. I sold around 60 or 70 a while back for a quid each, f.w.i.w, while moving house, and now wish I'd kept some of them as I keep wanting to look things up! |

16 Oct 08 - 02:23 AM (#2466970) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: The Borchester Echo I inherited Tony Rose's collection and was thus able to plug the gaps in my own collection caused by absences from the country. At the request of his daughter, I made a donation to a cancer charity. Passing on read mags to a music school might be useful. I know someone who gave their complete set to the Newcastle Trad Music course. |

16 Oct 08 - 06:05 AM (#2467052) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: GUEST,Ralphie Just to be serious for a mo. Your collection is probably worth very little. Maybe the Southern Rag stuff might be. But, I would agree with other posters. Donate them to a library, school, music society, dentist(!). There's some good info in them there mags. No point in keeping them under the bed is there? Mind you, you could always try the Antiques Roadshow! Look forward to seeing you on the Tele! Regards Ralphie |

16 Oct 08 - 10:56 AM (#2467282) Subject: RE: fRoots for sale From: GUEST,Tunesmith I'm always surprised how - generally - magazines lose a great deal of their value once they leave the shop. Ebay is full of very cheap mags of all sorts; true, the odd mag will sell for more than its face value, but that is the exception. |
