I went on a buying spree last year and ended up with roughly 1,000 issues ranging from 1989 Nintendo Power to 2017 Game Informer. Almost all of them I got in wholesale lots off eBay and then there were quite a few I got from a second hand electronics store in town. There were a couple huge lots I got from some Craigslist sellers as well. I even went to Game Informer's office and bought a bunch of them directly from them. I paid anywhere from 20 cents to $13 a magazine.

Now to fill in the gaps, I am looking at spending between $7 and $70 a magazine, depending on what year and condition. The older you get, the more expensive they become. Some of them are very expensive because of the cover. Resident Evil 1 for PS1 Game Informer cover, Final Fantasy 7 PS1 Game Informer cover. Those are a solid $30 a piece

any other collectors running into a similar roadblock with prices? I have doubles if anyone is interesting in trading
