    Default What to do with some gaming Magazines?

    I'm looking at clearing out some of my magazines and I'm not sure which ones I should keep.

    I have:

    the last year of CGW
    the last 2 years of EGM
    the first six months of Hardcore Gaming Magazine
    the last year of OPM
    All of that renamed version of cgw, windows gaming or something

    I'm thinking of keeping the HGM and OPM magazines, but I'm not sure about the rest. I don't really think I need to keep the EGM.

    When I first read the topic I was whisked back to grade school art class where we were tasked to make a colage out of posterboard, magazines and paste. Dice 'em up, slap it together and call it art. That's what I'd do. Could also be handy for ransom notes... if you're so inclined. That might not have been very helpful to you I realize. Just a thought.

    If you have the patience, you could sell them individually on ebay. If not, stick them in a box. In 10 years they'll be interesting all over again.

    I donated most of my old gaming mags (couple boxes) to the local Middle School. A 6th grade teacher there needed magazines for a class project.

    Give 'em to me. I'll give them a good home and add their info to MobyGames too. >_>

    Do you guys have any suggestions on what would be worth keeping between the different magazines? Do you think any of them would be worth anything down the road that I should bother to keep them? I already said I'm planning on keeping the OPM and HGM mags, I just wonder about the other stuff.

    If I can't find anyone who wants them and I decide not to keep them, I'll probably just put them on freecycle.

    Just hold onto them, the EGM issues, they won't take up that much room. Besides, I like having past issues on hand in case I find a used game for $10-15 that I recall being reviewed in one of them.
