About 5 years ago I parted ways with a good chunk of my RPG collection including my Dungeon mag collection. Finally I have put it back together and I am waiting for the last issue that I needed (#71) to arrive.

Not going to let that happen again, they are going to have to pry my current collection out of my cold dead hands.

I did something similar.  I subscribed until about issue 35, sold them all, regretted it, and then bought back everything and completed the entire run about a nine months ago.  Dungeon mags are a great value and decent read overall.  Congratulations.  :)

It is a good feeling to complete something, especially if that something holds great sentimental meaning to you. Enjoy the moment.

A few weeks ago, I actually decide to part with my Dungeon magazines and ended up selling 52 of them as a lot.  I probably won't sell off the first 6 issues but the rest are up on the block.  This is the 3rd time I have built up a good collection of them then sold them off.  I go through stages of feeling like they take up too much room just being in boxes.

I know what you mean. I wish they were on disc like the first 250 Dragons. Lets see, 5 discs, 5 or 6 magazine boxes... Both if you have the room, but I just dont anymore. 2 Magazine boxes with room to spare for the Dungeon Mags.

Dragons are another one I want to sell off but haven't decided which ones I want to keep.  I also have Space Gamer, White Wolf, Arcane, etc, etc so a bunch more boxes of other magazines too.  I find that I come across Dungeon magazines and Dragons with some regularity so, it will be another one build up again :)

Yep, I sold my Dungeons (and Dragons) too, and then bought them back later (although at the time I did at least copy the scenarios I liked most from the issues :D ).

I also sold my WWs, so if you decide to part with yours Mark, I'd be happy to talk about a bulk purchase :D  (I also bought a couple of big Space Gamer lots on eBay, and have some large early gaps to fill there too...).
