What to do with old gaming mags?




Posted by lanzer

Sometime back in 2003 i was obsessed with every bit of gaming that i was signed up to mostly every game magazine in the US (a few UK too...i think) EGM, gamepro, PLAY, computer gaming world the usuals...but that all stopped when i had to move back in '06. Now i have moved into a small bedroom and these mags are taking up soo much space that its getting very annoying. now i just want them gone!

now just throwing them away would be an option but i know beta info. whores go crazy for these kind of things and me without a scanner i cant scan and throw away and no credit card so i cant ebay them either.

So...what should i do with these mags? thanks for the suggestions.

Magazines do take up a crapload of space by the time you realize just how many you have.

You can try to eBay your stash if you want to (good luck), but throwing them out would be the quick 'n easy solution. I'm about to do that with mine.

I have '93-'05 issues of GamePro magazine still in my dad's garage, I think.

Oh, and like '02-'05 of Maxim.

I got a bunch of Nintendo Power mags stashed some where. Forget 2003!! I got mags from way back before Nintendo Power was started!! Think Nintendo Fun Club News, then da first issue of Nintendo Power in da middle of 1988...20 years ago!!

I only have 3 years of Nintendo Power mags, so I keep them on display in my gaming haven.

I still have all those old issues from Nintendo Power back from the Nintendo 64 era. I've gotten close to throwing them away a few times but never could pull myself into doing it. There are times when I actually like flipping through the pages and getting that wave of 64 memories. Also, my name is printed in there as I won a few of their compititions.
