PeterfromLFP Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Would like to buy some old alpinist magazines. Any issues. How about 4 for $20? Just send a PM Thanks! Quote
zeroforhire Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 you are not going to be able to buy 4 for $20... see this link http://cgi.ebay.com/alpinist-magazine-quarterly-lot-of-4-20-21-22-24_W0QQitemZ230284958577QQihZ013QQcategoryZ280QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
Kletterhund Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Those steep ebay prices are likely due to the fire in their warehouse last year in which they lost ALL back issues and archives . . . I am hoarding my double sets though if someone has a #0 . . . $$$! Edited August 28, 2008 by Kletterhund Quote
alpineyeti Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Chessler books has back issues for sale, but like zero said, $5 a piece is a little low... Kletter, he even has a #0 for sale (pricey though!!) Quote
Kletterhund Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 The #0 was around for awhile as a .pdf - released as a back issue by Alpinist ... Never quite got around to oredering one from them. I had tried Chessler's a while back - guess I will take anothwer look. Quote
Kletterhund Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Wow! $125USD?! This doesn't even look like a bound copy - I printed out my half proto-mag version for pennies ... $50 maybe for the real deal ... Quote
PeterfromLFP Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Wow, I didn't know they be that hard to get. Well, offer still stands if anybody wants to bite. Quote
korup Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Crap. I had a #0, Leo Holding bleeding on the cover. Let a buddy in MT borrow it, and it's gone, gone, gone. Quote
alpineyeti Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah, 125$ is steep. If one just wanted to read it, the pdf is great or a re-print like I got. But for us collectors..... let's just say my Rock and Ice #1 is looking for some company. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I have the last edition! It FEATURES a whole article about Colin Haley, Northwest Climbing Superstar! Of course the latest Alpinist shows him burrowing through the rime in Patagonia as well. Quote
