I really don't know why anyone asks a question on this forum, I can only assume that all of you with the pathetic responses are very young.

£1-£2 each and they will sell to various people who like reading the magazine, just because most of your replies are negative doesn't mean it's representative of the gaming community.

How old, and what issues?

Newer ones= 0

Older ones= $$$

Just saying.



At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Are you referring to the opinions of those who have sold hundreds of copies of WD?

If you put WD on ebay you might get 1-2 per each, but that's if you're lucky. Wargames swap meets are much more likely to fetch the prices I mentioned. WD aren't worthless, it's just that they have a very low resale value.

Pretty much worthless, bung them in the recycling.

Or, if you want to have fun, start leaving them in the waiting rooms of your doctor/ dentist to spice up the limp-looking selection of gardening, housekeeping and celebrity mags.


Thats not a bad idea actually. I'll check if I have any issues on Slaanesh and Nurgle. It'll be fun to mind**** with people.

sadly, I do not.

Most of my collection are from the latter half of the last decade, 2006 - 2012. Hence they're less popular as the hobby content declined through those years to the glorified sales catalogue we have today. So I think the advice and responses people have given are very valid as they reflect my own feelings and the very reason why I'm trying to sell these.

However, they might actually still be of interest for people who are newer to Gamesworkshop. e.g. Parents of kids who are new to 40K, LOTR etc. 63 magazines with 6 years of content for £25 (40p each) would be a good deal, compared to the £5 that each new issue of White Dwarf costs today. And, as naff as White Dwarf was between 2004 - 2012, the quality got noticeably worse in 2012 when they had the redesign and made it glossy. 2012 last December is when I stopped buying. I got the Dec issue because it was the launch of the Hobbit. I was still disappointed with it.
