...I have a crazy large collection of old Nibble, inCider and A+ magazines. It's amazing I didn't trash them during the numerous moves..
Try listing your things on ebay. Someone has listed their collection for about $8 per Nibble issue, for example.
While eBay is certainly one way of sensibly disposing of Apple II treasures, I think you may underestimate the work involved in listing and shipping potentially many hundreds of items.
But if the choice is to lament over throwing the collection in the dump or trying to sell them, then why not put the effort into selling them. eBay's Turbo Lister tool (FREE) is a good way to at least catalog one's collection and produce a list if anyone is interested. And when that's done, it's a few short steps to upload.
And if many dissimilar items are combined in a lot, then a buyer is likely to be uninterested in much of the lot, resulting in "wasted" treasure.
Then off to the dump they go! ;) But ya never know.. someone might just what a specific issue.
