FS: Amigaworld Magazines 1986 to 1995 (AmiWest)
« on: October 05, 2010, 10:17:39 PM »
** Now selling separate magazines at $3 each.  Bulk buy still an option.  Just need to know how many and what issues and we can make a bulk deal for you.

I have decided to sell all 80 of my Amigaworld magazines. Earliest issue is November/December 1986 and the last issue being in 1995. Total issues is 80. Want to sell as a lot but can entertain single issues but obviously prices for singles will be much more than if you buy the whole lot. This is not every single issue, to my knowledge, from 86 to 95 but pretty close I would say.


Email me if interested.

Tom

Here is a link to what they all look like:

Price lowered to $99 + shipping.

I am also open to trades for Atari magazines.

Thanks for looking.  TJ

Price changed to "Make Reasonable Offer".  I will not give them away but open to decent offers.  

Surprised someone does not want tons of great mags for their Amiga addiction.  I know I am a magazine addict.

I myself am looking for Atari magazines in this large lot type of deal and I would have been all over Atari magazines if they were offered in the size of my deal.  :)

Anyway, great time to get lotsa mags.  I may attend AmiWest this next week so can hand deliver to Sacramento at that time to the show.

I am attending AmiWest so if you want to meet at the show and save yourself tons of $ on shipping, I can bring the big box of mags and we can deal there.  Email me if you want them and make me an offer.  TJ

Thought I would post a new picture of the magazines. I am actually surprised an Amiga nut has not swollowed these up yet. I know I would have. Heck, I am looking for some Atari magazines and on various auction sites they sell for big $ each mag. Here I have practically from the beginning of Amigaworld, issue 8 is where I start, all the way up to 1995. Not a complete series but damn close. I sure wish someone would have this kind of Atari magazine collection for me to buy this cheap.

Anyway, they are all still available. The right side box in this picture is what makes up most all the Amigaworld issues I have. The left box is a different sale but I have those also for sale if interested.

So, if you are in the USA or Canada, shipping should no be too bad and well worth buying them. If in Europe, no, as shipping would be 3 times the price what I am selling the mags for. hehehe

Hit me up soon, make a decent offer, I am open to that.

I've said it before here, but yeah - Amiga mags are probably the best companion to the systems besides software and hardware. I bet many people don't see the value of 'em thanks to (I assume) being able to download most, if not all of the issues, it's great to be able to have something physical to flip through and no, a laptop or iPad is no substitute! I read through an issue of some random Amiga mag almost daily. Really helps to keep the spirit alive even if I haven't turned on a machine in weeks and hell, I never even tire of looking at the ads too!  lol

They're simply an invaluable piece of the Amiga puzzle IMO, especially to anyone that considers themselves a collector. Classic computing mags in general are awesome to have alongside your favorite computers. C64, TI, Atari's, etc.

Good luck with your sale!

I agree.  Part of me hates to sell them but I must admit, I do like Amiga but not as much as other vintage platforms and just figured these mags would go to better use in an Amiga nuts hands.  

I guess the longer they stay here, maybe the more I will have to start collecting Amiga computer again and I just don't have any more room.  :hammer::hammer:

I hear you about the room thing, but where there's a will, there's a way. I once occupied half our dining room table (thing really is too damn big for two people anyway) with a TI-99 setup for about a year. lmao

Changed ad to $3 per magazine for single issues.  Still can accept bulk offers if interested but finding some just want certain issues.  So, will sell separates now at $3 each + postage.

Someone has purchased 19 issues total so far which means I have about 60 issues remaining. So, the 1986, 1987, most of 1988, and a spare few extras are sold now. What basically remains is some of 1988 and most all of years past that up to 1995.  I believe I had a few duplicate 87s so should have a couple 87s also.

So, hit me up if you want any of these magazines.

Before I moved into my current house about 6 years ago, I sadly had to say goodbye to my old Amiga magazine collection as I just didn't have the space for them in my new house. It was quite a collection too every magazine from Amiga Format, Amiga Shopper, CU Amiga, Amiga Computing and Amiga User International, even the ones that were hard to get when Robert Maxwell toppled of his yacht & forget he couldn't swim... :rolleyes:

The couple who bought my old house said just to leave them as the guy was interested in old computers, sadly I learned about a year later his missus made him take them to the local recycling centre as they needed the spare room for a new sprog that was on the way. Brings a tear to me eye when I think back about all those mags ending up as loo roll... :(

Sorry this doesn't help you with your sale, just that it brought up some old memories of what was once my pride & joy... :)

Just to anyone on the fence on buying these, there's the occasional pictures of '80s chicks in them!

I already have a couple of filing cabinets full of Commodore and Amiga magazines dating from the late '70s (including the first year of Commodore Magazine) so I really don't need any more myself.

Still have about 60 Amigaworld magazines available.   Reduced price to 50 cents each if anyone is interested.  Yes, this box is heavy heavy so shipping will not be as cheap as my give-away price of 25 cents each .  I would expect shipping to most any USA location lower 48 about $25 to $30 or so.

Email me if interested,
