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.

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 then you'll get to read them all as often as you like later?

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.
