Retro Gamer on eBay

[bogusfrank]

It looks like a large lot of Retro Gamer magazines popped up on eBay.

Is there a reason these have never been added to the database? I'd be willing to scan them if someone wants to buy them and needs a US address to ship them to. I'd bet the seller would be willing to drop the price.

All issues of Retro Gamer from what i know have a pdf copy online somewhere. There is even a collection on a private BitTorrent tracker right now. I hope this helps.

They probably haven't been added since no one was keeping up with their releases and creating new database entries for them. We have none scanned because almost no one here has a large format scanner that could handle these magazines. They are also marked as not allowed. I am not sure why. They should be allowed up to 2012; we tend to forget about the databases from other countries...

this magazine is still active not sure if we can even scan these.

I think our cutoff is 10 years for everything, but so by our own rules we can. But only hardcorehubz has a scanner big enough to scan these and he's got a huge backlog as it is.
