Edge Magazine Collection

Scage's picture

Hello,

I hope none of you mind me joining the forum just to ask for help.

The time has (unfortunately) come for me to clear space, which means I have to part with my Edge Magazines. I have issues 13-228 (I am missing four issues). Some of which I acquired on Ebay several years ago.

I have just looked on Ebay, where I was ready to list them and there seems to be almost no interest at all. I cannot bring myself to throw them away, but I do need the space.

Has anyone here sold any Edge's on Ebay? is it worth perservering with, or should I be biting the bullet?

Thanks.

I really don't know why people would pay for old issues of a video game magazine. I threw all my old issues of Edge in a dumpster last year.

I think there is more interest in the special collections such as the Retro ones, the Top 100 collection and the File series.

why would you throw away something you spent so much money on?

aresfeda's picture

if you can't shift them send them to me and I'll pay the postage.

I threw them away because I had read them and no desire to hoard stuff.

Hi Scage

Tough times when space is limited.

I had a similar experience earlier this year. I sold a special edition for £12, but the rest didn't shift.

Good luck

I would but 13 - 180 off you for a reasonable price....

Hi Scage, I'm looking for about 20 issues, can I email you somewhere? Be happy to pay for them if in great condition.

I might be interested in a couple issues from 200 and up. How can I contact you?

Just thinking about what to do with a fuckload of games mags, mainly a lot of Edges (from about issue 35 onwards, with a few gaps). Don't know why I've always kept them anyway, but I have, and it's time to do something with them. I know they're not worth selling, but throwing them out seems a shame.

Anyone want any for postage cost (could be quite high due to weight), or to come and collect (from Warwick area)?

What are the non-Edge ones? I think there's some website archiving old games magazines.

The world has become obsessed with keeping things. Surely there are few things less worth keeping than a magazine covering a snippet of a constantly changing, trivial pass time.

Bigger awesome.

I got rid of about 50 issues of ONM a while back, put them on freecycle, some mum took 'em for her kids to cut up for "crafts."

I'm not one to judge and I was happy someone could find use for them.

Tough times indeed, especially in todays world, when you simply can't keep a big pile of dusty pulped tree with out of date information printed on them anymore.

My god, won't someone think of the children?

Because of the state of this place, we've all buggered off to www.thebearandbadger.co.uk - come and have a look around!

Any local College/Uni's doing game courses you could donate the mags too?

Don't do it, JB! Edge issues are priceless! NOOOOOOO!!

I am missing the Resi 4 review issue, if you wanna chuck that my way. How much P&P???

Also, what cover do you have for issue 200???

I'd have to check, but there's certainly some Super Play, Official PlayStation, some really old CVGs, Mean Machines etc.

I've got the subscibers' cover. What issue (roughly) is Resi 4? I know I've left a stack from a few years back in Cyprus.

Who are all these people from July? Did we scare them off or did they lose interest persisting with a broken site (like we warned).

Do they still have the bags?

No, I never kept any bags.

I have all the Edge Files, The Top 100 and the PS2, Xbox and GC Equip specials. Are these worth a fuck spruik?

Every time people say they're getting rid of their Edges I go, "Oh but wait a minute, there's some I wouldn't mind having that I missed before I was a subscriber". If I actually get off my arse and figure out which ones they are and you have them, could I have them (I'll pay for postage obviously)?

Hi Jon! I'm from The Netherlands and I'm interested in buying a few issues off of you. What do you have from issue 200 - now, or, more importantly, from June 2011 and onward?

Where can I reach you?

My god. Someone might actually sell some old copies of Edge on here.

There's a first time for everything, I suppose.
