My list of doubles, any of these needed?

[TheRedEye]

I'm not necessarily looking to be rid of these (they're trade bait too), but I'm happy to donate any of these that are within Retromag's rules and are not currently "in possession" of a scanner.

What are you looking to get for some of these? I would be willing to grab what is needed for scanning. The "In Posession" of the magazines was figured out last stummer, so it's hard to know how accurate it is now with different members being around and fewer people scanning.

All I'm looking to get is a list of which ones are needed and an address to send them to.

[E-Day]

I can supply that . I'll send a private message after I go through them.

When you mark some as rough, how rough are we talking?

[TheRedEye]

Rough usually means the cover is loose, off, or taped on, sometimes it means stuff is cut out, etc.

It varies, I'll make a judgment call and withhold any that would be too crappy to bother scanning. I only keep them around in case someone is desperate to have the issue in their collection.

[E-Day]

I included issues that you marked as rough in the list I messaged you. if you can take pictures of them, some maybe be fixable in photoshop after scanning. it's more work, but some of those roughed up issues are hard to come by

[Thor]

There are a couple of the NP that I need but I'll just end up with duplicates if I get them from you because the ones that I need I also need almost that entire year of NP issues. So I guess I'll just have to watch ebay for the lot.

[Junaz]

What's the status on your mags?? Do you still have the all....or did you sent most of the to E-Day?

[E-Day]

I haven't heard from him since early in the summer, and he hasn't been on in two months. Chances are he still has everything.

[triverse]

I wouldn't mind grabbing those VG&CE and EGM's if no one else wants them.  This is strictly if no one else here places dibs on them, I am just wanting to make TheRedEye aware that there is someone wanting them since I am co-owner of another magazine preservation site, don't want to step on anyone's toes.

[E-Day]

I had messaged him in the spring with a laundry list of the ones I wanted. But I haven't heard back since then.

[badinsults]

I sent a message to TheRedEye, so hopefully he will respond. I hear his new job is pretty demanding.

[TheRedEye]

Hi, I've had to move twice since posting this list, my mags are nowhere near in any kind of order to pick through these and send any out. It's going to be a while before everything's in order again, but the good news is that I have more doubles now!

triverse, in case you didn't understand: I'm not really looking to be rid of any of these, I'd prefer to hang on to them, but they're available for scanners if I have any kind of guarantee that they'll actually be scanned and released in some kind of timely manner. Do you guys plan on releasing issues of EGM and VG&CE on your site?

[triverse]

Hopefully the moves came out well for you and things are getting back in some kind of order for you.

My apologies, I will take my name out of the hat for getting these scanned.  I was just offering due to the comment about them being "trade bait" and in the past members here have been quick to throw out magazines due to no interest from anyone to take them, my offer was just to save these from being possibly trashed, if they ever were in danger of that.

About my scanning time frame, yes, I have a horrible backlog, I am not saying I don't (boy I have been drug through the mud over it again and again).  Scanning and editing mags takes time, doing it right takes even longer depending on the condition of the original material.  That is a fact and when you factor in outside enfluences (work, need for money, sleep, etc) it takes a toll on things such as scanning magazines.  I am not trying to defend myself or whine about things, just stating the simple facts there.  If this stuff didn't take so much work, we would have plenty of people willing to help out.

Onto the touchy part of your response (I know, everyone is thinking that the previous part was touchy, it wasn't really, just stating the truth there).  EGM and VG&CE issues on OoPA.  All I can really say is, no comment at this moment.  We have stuff in the works right now to work with more publishers but I am not at liberty to state which ones right now (and if anyone is STILL guessing, just forget it, I can't be anymore obvious).

Thanks for your response though, I won't bother anyone else around here offering their mags up for scanning or whatever.

[TheRedEye]

Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped hanging out on this forum!

[E-Day]

Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped hanging out on this forum!

It's because you've moved so much lately, silly!

[TheRedEye]

E-Day I can't find our conversation/list, was that via email? I seem to remember we whittled it down to a manageable list of maybe ten issues of GamePro for a first shipment?

And for the record there was nothing "touchy" about my reply to triverse, I was clarifying that I'm only sending these to people who will scan them and have no intention of getting rid of them otherwise. I'm sorry you took it this way and had to write a dramatic novelette in reply, but believe it or not, I don't really care about the bullshit happening between this site and yours at all! I just want magazines preserved, I don't care who does it, and I stopped hanging out on this forum (and yours) because I was getting tired of the divorced parents vibe that doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

[triverse]

Wow, I wasn't aware that what I wrote was considered a "dramatic novelette" but, um, well, OK.  Whatever.  I was not saying you were being touchy with me in your reply, please re-read that before continuing down this avenue of accusation as it is how arguments get started, over nothing but a misunderstanding.  I was saying, that my response probably came off as touchy, which it was not meant to be, that is why I put in there that I was stating the FACTS.

Again, I apologize for bothering you with an offer of help in achieving your goal of getting the magazines scanned.  I wasn't aware that you were going to come back like this in your replies.  I never said they would not be returned but that is a mute point.  There are plenty of magazines that are here because I scanned AND returned them to many members, many of which that have left the scene for one reason or another over the years so those magazines would have NEVER been available anyhow.  I am not asking for a pat on the back, just stating the facts again.

I wasn't aware of any "divorced parents" activity/vibe on either forum.  Yes, there was plenty of discourse between Out-of-Print and Retromags both when meppi and me left and then again a little more recently (again, over a complete misunderstanding that as far as I know, has been rectified except for people that pick at the sores that were left behind).

As far as people getting the "wrong idea" about your "offers" in the future, you might want to clarify things a little more and not put things like "trade bait" in your posts if you are not intending to get rid of them (which again, I never said I wanted to "keep" them and not return them, you assumed that).  Anyhow, I have some stuff to get done, and I am sure you are hitting that refresh button like most people hit the DDR pads in arcades hoping for a reply.

[E-Day]

E-Day I can't find our conversation/list, was that via email? I seem to remember we whittled it down to a manageable list of maybe ten issues of GamePro for a first shipment?

I found it and have sent you a new list. It's longer than 10 issues, but I have made a giant dent in my scanning backlog since we last talked.
