Magazines up for grabs

[badinsults]

I'm at my parents' place, and decided to write down what video game magazines are here. It has become increasingly clear that I likely spent more money on video game magazines than I did on video games back when I was younger. Since I already am storing a lot of my stuff at my parents' place, and I plan on moving to another continent next year, I'm hoping to clear out my magazine collection (save for the Yoshi's Island strategy guide, I'm keeping that). Sorry for the lack of formatting on my list, but here is what I have and the condition the magazines are in. The vast majority are in great shape, with the exception of some scuffs on the binding. I will mail any of these for free to scanners, but if they are wanted just for collection purposes, I would ask that the person pays for shipping. I thought I might have time to scan some myself, but that is increasingly unlikely as I have lots of other things that are a higher priority for scanning. Anything I don't get rid of is going to the recycle bin.

Without further ado:

Gee .... nice collection. Did you get any takers?

[badinsults]

TheRedEye got dibs on about 1/3 of them (mostly mags older than 1998), and Jake claimed the rest, which I will hopefully be able to drop off on my way through the province next month.

[KiwiArcader]

Excelent. Just wanted to make sure our guys got them

[Data]

It looks like I'm gonna start collecting again weather I want to or not.

[Thor]

I'll have to check on those Nintendo Power. My list of NP is on my other laptop that I don't have access to at the moment.

The train delivered my box today. Their is some that don't have covers I'll deal with later and I took a picture of the rest.

Thank you for your generosity in donating.

[KiwiArcader]

Nice!! At least our guys got them so even if they are post-2000 they can be scanned for the day Phillyman decides to change the cut-off date.

Funny you should mention post 2000 magazines. I don't want to say where but I know where I can pick up a variety of EGM's GamePros and Nintendo Powers for half the cover price. Their in great condition too and the stock is always moving. By the time were ready to go as far as 2006, I'll be out of school and hopefully have some money to buy some. Little by Little.

About 10% of my collection is post-2000. Some Playstation, Games Master & Nintendo magazines amongst others. Given we are 2010 I personally think running with a decade type rule makes sense. For instance, in 2011 we can start hosting 2000 mags. That's just a personal view and does mean we can progress forwards rather than being left behind. Mind you ... given I have 500+ pre-2000 mags I don't think I will be in a position to do much about it anytime soon anyway

Wait... Do tell.

It's a used book store close to where I live in Regina. Anyone familiar with the city should check out 8th Ave and Broad in the strip mall with Sears and Value Village. I don't have the cash to blow on something I wont use for years but this is a good place to visit once a week.
