Here's my problem, every box I open is like Christmas. Not good when you are supposed to be selling the stuff..
I'll sleep on this.. I'm leaning towards keeping them.

Gotta learn how to handle man... First rule of dealing...You can't binge on the merchandise!!!!
Sometimes this place is more like a support group...
May have to start an AA chapter... Amigans Anonymous! LOL!

More like {bleep}ing Amigans Unanimous.

I say keep them and read them and then start a website where you can archive them for all to see and admire in a copyright safe environment. ;-)

There are some really good product reviews and especially tutorials to get the most out of your software, which i think a lot of people would get use out of if they were available on the net. Even page scans would be good enough if the publisher's were ok with it.

I got an 1982 APC in good nick(condition) with a review of the amazing NEW Commodore 64.
Never give it up..

Yes whilst its very good, only selected pages are available, and usually just game reviews and hardware reviews, but only a few tutorials and not a complete set of tutorials. eg Scala tutorials in CU, Cinema 4d tutorials in AF, and even PPaint and Dpaint

Keep 'em Red, I used to love opening up my box of Amiga mag's every so often and look at all the goodies and articles.
I regret getting rid of mine...
If you have the space keep em, they are great reference material. Not too many people are willing to pay the big $$$ for shipping.

You want mine? I MAY be able to part with them.... Have Amiga World from issue #3 (darned love birds ate #s 1 & 2!)
I finally gave away all of the Amiga Formats - just down the pile of CDs from them...
Then there's 1984 Compute's Gazette and RUN..... and even a few Ahoy Amiga user left over.
Drat, now you all have me pulling through these things again. I'm ruined....

Did I bid for these on Ebay earlier? Have you got a list of whats in there? Silly question. If i can scrounge the cash id buy them and upload them to the ami rack. What did you want for them and when are you next travelling to Sydney :) ?

If you cannot be arsed to scan them before you sell them, then sell them at a discount to a member of Amiga Magazine Rack (http://amr.abime.net) then you'll get to read them all as often as you like later?

Nope, completely different lot.

Too late, I decided to keep them... Actually I am finding myself keeping more and more.... :oops:
-Edit-
Come to think of it, I spent most of my holiday days off playing with an A2000 instead of testing, sorting and listing to the store. Bad sign..
-
If you're going to keep them scan them in this should be documented as there are some really great articles in those mags. Lots of work went into them. Spoke to Ben Vost at Amiga format a couple of years ago and they had a blast and were sad to see the mag go.
I had BUNDLES of Amiga mags that wnet to teh trash. The Video Toaster USer and Newtekniques mages went to ebay.
-
You're keeping them, Red? All of them? Bummer... Should you ever decide to part with the Video Toaster User mags., I'd be interested.. :-D
