Amiga Power collection

Peanutuk · 26 January 2002, 18:21

Sadly it's time to part with them . Hopefully they will go to a good home where someone can do something with them i.e. put them on the web.

Thanks.

On ebay :-

I am the current high bidder, I hope that I get this grand collection from you. As a long time Amiga user and as an Amiga developer that always loved Amiga Power and drove 3 1/2 hours to buy them back in 1990-1993 with Twisten. I lost almost all my Amiga mags when I moved from Los Angeles to Chicago and I am trying to build my collection back up. If I win I will try and find a way to convert all these great mags to pdfs for all to enjoy.

CodyJarrett · 26 January 2002, 19:20

That's what I've been thinking about doing as well - converting the issues of Amiga Power into a digital format.

I've got a complete collection too.

Peanutuk · 26 January 2002, 20:15

Well glad to know someone's interested. God knows hw much the postage to the USA will be !!!:eek

Peanutuk · 28 January 2002, 14:06

What would people envisage a sensible price to be for these?
Or how about an unsensible price - have any similar collections ever been sold?

Thanks

I have seen other complete collections of AP sold on ebay before (although none quite as special as this set!) and the pricetag gets pretty nasty.

Peanutuk · 28 January 2002, 15:32

Can you give us some idea?

£50-60 ?

Twistin'Ghost · 28 January 2002, 16:10

Sorry, I really can't remember. I only remember it was out of my price range (especially considering the shipping to the US and the fact that I have all but a few issues already).

Steve · 30 January 2002, 20:01

I've just noticed the top bidder for your Amiga Power Ebay auction. Could it be the "infamous" AP reviewer himself Stuart Campbell. I think it is!

Peanutuk · 30 January 2002, 21:28

Maybe , but I would have thought he would have had them all - what with all his bragging of having rooms full of video games etc. !!

And ofcourse because of the fact that he was, to some extent, Amiga Power.

Mangar · 30 January 2002, 22:31

I'd just like to say PDF versions of ANY amiga magazines would be sweet. Where I lived during the early 90's they were hard to find. When I did see one I snatched them up. Even with the crazy price tag for the magazine. It was never sold around here for cover price.

Pyromania · 31 January 2002, 03:40

If Stuart Campbell beats me at this auction I hope he will make pdf versions of all these great mags.

Miggy2TheMax · 31 January 2002, 05:46

Definelty having pdf versions of amiga magazines would be awsome! I hope you win the bid Pyromania.

Peanutuk · 31 January 2002, 12:26

I'm still not convinced that it is him!

I shall ask whoever it goes to what they intend to do with it. INfact I have abit of spare time at the moment so I may put an issue it myself.

We shall see

Twistin'Ghost · 01 February 2002, 00:41

According to a phone conversation with Pyromania this morning, he emailed this guy and it is indeed Stuart Campbell. And he is as adament about winning the collection as Pyro is.

Pyromania · 01 February 2002, 08:59

I guess Stuart Campbell took my threat of bidding over $500 US for the collection serious, I just bid over $400 and Stuart is still the high bidder, damn he really wants those mags. At the current price they are going for they are now selling for more than a used SGI Octane on ebay! This SGi workstation used to sell for over $80,000 dollars 3 or 4 years ago, now it is selling for less than those damn Amiga Powers, I really wanted them sob

Damn that Stuart

Pyromania · 01 February 2002, 11:03

I wonder if the mail I sent Stew made this auction go as high as it has. I was hoping he would back off and let me have them oh well. A copy of the mail I sent him is below.

If you can come up with a copy of Puddy Squad for the Amiga I will back off on my bidding otherwise I will put in a bid for US $1000. I am a bloody yank with a bank full of dosh.

Peanutuk · 01 February 2002, 11:32

Oh dear.....

That was a very silly thing to do - flag to a red bull!?!

Anyhow , how are you sure it is him - has he actually said it is or why he wants them?

Oh and has he said want he intends to do with them? Will he make pdf's , if not then I hope you win!

Pyromania · 01 February 2002, 12:02

He has not said what he will do with them, his e-mail was very vague.

Steve · 01 February 2002, 18:53

I'm gonna watch this to the end. This is one of the fiercest bidding battles I've ever seen on e-bay. There's about ten minutes to go and it's on an unbelievable £353.00. Even I didn't think it would go as high as that.
