i dont know if this would be the right place to post this
but i have a huge collection of games magazines (1,200+) dating from the mid 80's to current day, from the uk, america and japan
due to a few circumstances changing in my life (GF etc) i wont be able to keep the collection anymore, thus it pains me to say this but im afraid im finally going to sell them off
now i dont know if im clutching at straws here but would there perhaps be a significant interest in said magazines within these forums?
i can get together a detailed list in a couple of days of every magazine title/issue number/price etc
a lot of these magazines are extremely hard to obtain.. so please let me know if there would be an interest

i would be interested in some EARLY PSM mags, mid 90s EGM (if price permits) and mainly 90s PCGAMER magazines (US edition, not UK). all US editions please.
let me know, however seeing as how youre from london, i dunno if itll be really worth importing. but lets see anyway

There would definitely be heavy interest among a few here on DP. Lots of retro game mag lovers here, myself included. Thankfully, I've pretty much got all I wanted :)

I'm looking for the first 10-20 issues of Games TM. Actually I have the first few but then there is a giant hole in my collection. I would have to check to see what I definitely need.
I also would be interested, depending on what you have. I've recently completed a near-15 yr run of EGM (1991-mid '06), & my PSM & OPM runs are near-complete.
I'll prob. stop after that, though I need certain Game Informers...

There's a particular game I have sought which apparently only appeared on a PC Review (UK mag) 5.25" coverdisk. You wouldn't happen to have any coverdisks with that lot, would you?

I may be. Particularly sega/nintendo magazines and EGM, gamefan etc. pics and a list with prices would be great
trouble is Postage, as magazines to post are so expensive. 5 Retro Gamer are almost 1kg, to USA as 'printed paper', is GBP11.00, that's $20.00

If you have any Commodore, Amiga or CD32 magazines in that bunch, I'm all over it.

I would definitely be interested in your collection of Japanese MegaDrive magazines to complete my own collection. Please PM me.
When you start selling these it may be a good idea to have a "middle man" here in the U.S. for those of us who arent too keen on overseas ordering.
