That's just a ballpark figure too. They might even be worth a bit more. Who knows. It's not about the money though. I just wish I still had them. I had a fucking shit ton of gaming magazines. Gamepro, PC Gamer, and a bunch that went out of business a long time ago that I can't even remember right now.

Shit like this is why I vehemently oppose copyright law and the failfags that support it. We have already lost, FOREVER, massive portions of the silent film era, a large chunk of doctor who, possibly the first superbowl (there IS an existing copy, but copyfags are preventing the guy who has it from sharing it!), god only knows how many magazines... all to money grubbing fuckers more worried about milking Mickey's mousedick for another decade than about preserving our culture and arts.

I think it's a reasonable estimate. I had a big box full of them, never had them all, but had a subscription for years and lost them somehow in the years since. I've seen offers on craigslist and such and they were priced at 500$. Wish I had them too. Also, there's this post today if you didn't see it yet: https://www.voat.co/v/gaming/comments/1212119

I just looked up what Ultra Game Players magazines are going for and the first one I seen that I instantly recognized was going for 15$ USD. I had about 40 issues of Ultra Game Players. I'm guessing I had about 400 retro magazines total, so let's say I got an average of 7$ each, that's like 2800$. Even if I sold them all cheap at like 1400$ it'd be worth having kept them. I literally threw away thousands of dollars of shit that day because I was lazy and wanted to clean my room as quickly as possible.
