Retro Gamer #18 is the last issue of this UK magazine, and luckily my local bookstore still carried it, but somehow I managed to miss #17. Does anyone have a copy -- preferably with cover disc in its case -- that they are willing to sell? Or does anybody have a local bookshop that still has a copy?

EDIT: also, anyone have a new/shrinkwrapped copy of N-Gage MLB Slam? I ordered one, but my rental office lost the package, and I can't seem to find a replacement. Might also like to find Sega Rally, but that may be more of a pipe dream, yes? :-)

I'd seriously consider eBay, it's been fairly flooded with issues of the magazine post Live administration.

I'll check that unless someone else can spare me the effort. :-) I figure people will hoard #18 as the last issue, so at least I hope I won't have trouble finding #17.

Seems to be less than before, probably all slowing down!

is the only one up at the moment... it says UK only, but if you win, I don't mind taking it in and shipping it to you.

It's already getting a little pricey... If I think of it in time to catch the auction's end, I may take you up on it, but in the meantime, does anyone here have one for sale?

Either way, thanks much for the offer.

Well it's still under cover price for now ;)

But yeah, I would go for it personally, cos finding someone willing to part with issues in general isn't easy...

I'm mostly afraid of postage to the US upping the price too much... I see there's another one up now, and again I'm thinking about it, but I'm still kind of hoping someone here has an extra one.

I'm not sure you'll find anyone in the US selling issues on, probably keeping them close to their chest ;)

There is a media mail rate for overseas sending here in the UK, so it does work out lower than usual costs. I'd have to go weigh an issue to see what it is, but I figure it would be around $8 at a guess.
