I have a collection of British magazine CDs and DVDs from the mid-1995ish to 2013ish. They contain tools, programs, etc. I tried 5 and they mounted under Win10 so they should work on old win releases: XP,7,8? Would anyone be interested in acquiring these? Talk to me and we can work out how.

First, I have what I believe is a pretty early AOL CD and I understand that it may be collectable. It includes the original silver, blue and red cardboard https://archive.org/stream/Galaxy_v22n02_1963-12#page/n43/mode/1up "The Big Pat Boom" by Damon Knight Yes, anything COULD be collectible.
