...I will also collaborate with steve666  by giving him stuff he doesn't have...hey my girlfriend has a scanner but I would hve to cut up the magazines in order to get steve his articles....is there another way?  -Josh
excellent!  thank you for your help doomfarer!  I meant to reply sooner to this thread but i got side-tracked on other posts.  
1. i would not want you to cut pages out of your magazines!  for selfish reasons I would say "yes, if that's the only way, send me the pages by themselves" ...but that's totally selfish!  we'll figure something out.  I don't mind doing the scanning myself (in fact, I'd prefer to do it)... so we'll see.  I would be more than willing to pay the postage (both ways) to send the entire magazines.  I'd scan the relevant portions and then return them to you ASAP.  I have trading references, plus my ebay account (stevek666), as some evidence that I won't scam you 

 Hey, we all have to be careful! 

I know the cover of GamePro #1 has a picture of keith Courage, facing the Altered Beast Guy, NEC vs Sega. ...so I'm hopeful they'll have some interesting stuff. We'll see. I know that since it was a half-price store, the mags were about $1-$2 a piece, which I always thought was a little high for 10 year old magazines, but just so you know, in case you wanna have some sort of limit to what your wanting to spend. Then again, I may find diddly, and it won't matter   
I concur with Keranu, the first issue of gamepro sounds awesome, if only for the cover alone!!!! 
If they are still only $2 a pop at the 1/2 price store, I will gladly pay you much more per issue (for your labors).  I'll make a list of my collection to avoid duplicates.  Plus, I will work with doomfarer on this, since there is likely to be an overlap between his interests and mine.  
Doom and NFERNO: Doomfarer has first dibs on all the console war magazines, plus any others he really wants... I'll take the remainder.  As I mentioned above, I'd be willing to pay for re-shipping magazines to Doom.  For example, I could pay for a bunch of magazines that Doom ultimately wanted, but I'd scan them first and then ship them to him, if he was kool with that arrangement.  At this point, I am most concerned with getting scans of TG16 content (including console wars stuff, if possible!) ... this way, hopefully, everyone will be happy.
