Hi Everyone

Would anyone be interested in buying a complete set of Bonsai Today, almost every Bonsai Europe, all of Bonsai Focus (some multiple copies of issues), and almost all International Bonsai?

... and in the famous words of Tony Barber (Sale Of The Century circa 1985)... "How much would you expect to pay????" - just curious, but don't expect the answer to be $5 like it was on the show back then. ;)

It will be hard for me to expect to get back what it cost me.
I believe they hold some value, I guess it depends on whether someone is willing to buy all sets, or just one set.

OK - I will put some prices together for individual sets, or the whole lot. (Won't be $50)

I have had heaps of PMs - maybe an auction would be better ??

OK here are some prices

The complete set of International Bonsai day= $800 (neg) (approx. 144 magazines, a small amount of the early ones were out of print when I bought them, so were photocopied by Bill Valavanis for me)
The complete set of Bonsai Today 1 to 109 = $1000 (neg)
The complete set of Bonsai Focus 110 to current = $600 (neg)
Bonsai Magazine (issues 34 to 53) = $200 (neg)
Bonsai Europe (issues 54 to 57, 59 to 64, 66 to 78, 80 to 85) = $600 (neg)

All sets (approximately 391 magazines) = $3000 (neg)

I have a number of back issues of Bonsai Focus and International Bonsai (from when I was retailing) for sale at $10 each.
I will have to check which issues I have - they are all in boxes.

I forgot to mention, there are a stack of Bonsai Focus & Bonsai Europe binders that will come with the sets. The Bonsai Today mags are in nice quality shelf organisers which will come with that set.

Hi Everyone

The set of "International Bonsai" has sold.

All other magazines are still available, prices negotiable.

Hi Leigh

Is the complete set of Bonsai Today magazines still available and if so where are we at with price?

Any idea if postage to NZ is going to make the exercise price prohibitive?

Hi Leigh

Any costs on sending Bonsai Today mags to NZ or have you gone off the idea?
