Pelley periodicals sale?

Ten or twelve years ago I sold a swath of loose Valor magazine issues on eBay for the “buy it now” price of $27 a piece. Other times I have seen loose issues of the rare Blue Lectures sell for $120 each.

Not only do I have complete sets of some Pelley publications, I have extras… and, thanks to the escalation of personal matters stemming from this very project, I also have debts.

Across the decades I have been allowed to possess and dispose of nearly 3 personal libraries worth of Pelley material. In each case, I parted with those books, magazines and ephemera only after much soul-searching. Had I done as much to absorb and be enriched by the contents of those publications as possible? Were they finding a good home?

Now I think I can let go of some parts of my current, and largest, collection.

I may start with the large format “Over Here” magazines. Most of these have never been scanned and included in other archives, so if I do the work of scanning individual issues and preparing detailed content descriptions here, I feel I am justified in offering them for say $33 an issue, with the understanding that this money helps the work continue.

I will post these listings as public entries so that anyone wishing to purchase a certain copy will get a month subscription to go along with it.

Details to be worked out, but this is my thinking now to generate a small amount of income from this project.

Thoughts? Comments? Please… chime in.
