My gaming mags are taking up a lot of space so I just wanted to know how long you guys usually keep them for.

I have an entire shelf devoted to my mags. They really take up much more room then their worth. The problem is I don't want to just throw them out, but they aren't really worth anything.

About a year, I got a shelf dedicated to them all, then I put them in a recycling bin and see people pass by and and see them grab them. Mostly the Maxim, FHM and Stuff, no one takes the gaming mags.

I never throw them out and I'll never throw them out. I still go through old magazines looking for games that I wanted back then but didn't buy but can buy now for $20 - $40 less.

I keep them forever. I have plenty of magazines well over ten years old.

And you fellas who throw them away.. feel free to send them to me - I'll pay shipping ;-).

I keep them in boxes - stacked on top of one naother towards the ceiling.

Hmmm, free porn usually equals used porn, and that's just damn disgusting. To answer your question, I'm sure I have close to 500-600 mags in my room. I keep some in boxes, some in dresser drawers, and now just have piles along the floor of my room.

iv'e always had the thought to bundle up a full years worth of my millions of mags and sell 1 years worth at a time on ebay. A full year of maxim on ebay will net you more than you spent for that years subscription. im guessing an old years run of a game mag will get you a little loot too. problem is my collections an addiction and its like giving away your baby so they will stay in piles.
