Woah... i had all issues from nine onwards.

Then i bought issue 1 for £25 ~ $50 on eBay

The gorgeous masser 3200 8) ... well, i only like the rear lights really

paid only another £70 for issues 2-8... you really got ripped off there TT ... all of my copies are mint 8)
Holy lord you were lucky! it took me around 2 or 3 months of "hunting season" in eBay to collect all the 30+ back issues I needed
of course all the ones from 10 onward were pretty cheap, but well #1 went somewere near 60 GBP... number 2 was around 50 and not a single one of the first 10 went for less than 15!!!!!!!
Sadly I had to jump on all of them since it was to risky to wait for the next one!

I have a little shelf on top if which I have two plants. One shelf down are my Depeche Mode CDs. Then one more down I have my depeche mode DVDs stacked in display fashion. Then one more down I have Boxes from THREE ORIGINAL games. One is NFS 1 which Im most proud off. And then NFS 2 SE box which I went through hell to get aswell as 1.

And lastly on the bottom shelf I have my magazines. I really dont have room so when I have a new magazine coming and it doesnt fit I throw out a road and track or car and driver(I used to buy them 3 years ago, stopped when I discovered that you can beat that damn English in that department).

I sure was lucky, and i know what you mean when you say you had to jump.... i watched my auctions count down from 5mins

There are a few full collections on sale on eBay UK at the moment, but pick-up is the only way to get them as postage would be very expensive

What an unfortunate slip of the finger... i am sure you meant to "ship 70 mags" rather than to "shit" them... which would be very painfull
