You gettin married to Val - Bill .. ;D ;)
A whole set went in 2010 for 22$ each. Issues 1-38
You'd think some one would want those lower numbers - especially # 4 :o :P
cheers A

Saw a "mint" #1 go for US$40 on Ebay, with a #4 going for around 10 times that.... :o ???
Let the market continue to decide!
-
The price has dropped a bit.. i just paid $63 for 10 issues on ebay including #2-7 and 10-13.
I think it also makes a difference how well you list them.
-
4 is the rarest. When times were good a #4 fetched between $350 and $400.
story goes that a number of #4s were water damaged so they are rare, but like everything they have dropped like hell. I would snap them up but just got a set of decent Norton Roadholders for $400 so would rather buy bike parts instead.

I think it maybe the Bendgio Nats of 94? That I had a beer with Ray as he talked to me about his new Magazine VMX I payed him upfront for years subscription at the bar that night and have every copy .
-
I paid about $50 (I think) a few months ago on ebay for issue 1. I think issues 2, 3 & 4 were also up for sale but some went over $70 each which was a bit rich for me. As I've only recently 'discovered' vmx in the last 12 months I don't have any of the sold out issues, but I bought all the other back issues that are available 8)
-
I'd be keen to buy the whole set assuming they are in good condition.
If you decide on a price, feel free to send me a PM.
Btw, the guys are right. Definitely come down a huge amount in value lately ;D
-
Bill, the ball is in your court ole mate, put them up there with a $ figure with a reserve to test the market.
Like Brad, I had to catch up and bought in bulk, today they are less that half I paid for them.

I also subscribed before the 1st mag came out and i even have a couple of issues of the vmx paper that Dave Alsop produced prior to VMX mag!!! :o Now that must be worth something to Brad and the boys ;D

Yep, Dave sure fuc*ed up and has upset a lot of people. Good, I think he and the rest of the VMX community now know it so lets move on. The continuous negativity on this forum is growing to plague proportions and if it's not nipped in the bud the whole thing will turn to shit. I'd rather read about how to make a throttle cable, see Tom, Dick or Harry's new project or given a lead on a bargain on eBay than continuously read posts about Dodgy Dave, the evil good old boys and how fuc*ed up the world is. If I want to know how fuc*ed the world is I'll turn on the telly. For a bit of self education, go back over some threads from a couple of years ago and notice how many members who were then regularly posting have resigned or just don't bother posting any more. If you did a quickie poll with these people you'd find that a big percentage of them have dropped out because of the continuous negative and abusive posts. I've spoken to a lot of different people since I resigned and I was not so surprised to find that most agreed with my reasons for getting out.
There was a time when this was the best little forum in VMX. The cameraderie was fantastic, the 'help out a mate' network was working a treat and many a friendship was formed through meeting in this place. Then bit by bit the odd negative slag morphed into whole threads set up just to belittle or make fun of someone whether they deserved it or not. Taking the piss is one thing but some of this stuff is just plain nasty.
For this forum to work in the way it is intended we need to behave and contribute in a positive way and act like responsible grown ups. I know members of the forum who have a shed full of unusual and interesting bikes and who posessa lot of historical and mechanical knowledge yet their posts are almost alway boring little one liners containing nothing of interest. Why not show us whay you've got in the shed, educate us with your knowledge or at the very least, support someone who has started a positive and in formative thread with a decent contribution.
I left this forum because I was tired of the negativity and the lack of action on keeping it under control. I'm posting this on an old account we at Klub Kevlar Central used to use as a group but had become inactive purely because I could see that something was finally being done to keep the forum on an even keel and that Mod1 needed some support and wasn't getting it from you blokes. The moderator isn't there to cop your shit, he's there to keep everything happy and take some of the load off Graeme who's getting pretty tired of all of this shit anyway. I plead with you all to respect each other and to give the moderator and Graeme the respect for wanting this to remain a good forum.
just ask Greg Chapple,
Trevor Chappel.

Regardless, its still a good forum.
It's big enough now to be representative of various identities that we're all aware of in the big wide world.
Accentuate the positive ignore the negative [to paraphrase an old song]

P.S back to the thread, I have one of every issue and two of some [where I thought I was looking at a new copy in the shop but I'm wasn't!] pancho
