Frankly most are good for nothing!
Many issues you will have trouble giving them away, though the inserts can make them slightly more valuable. (148 with the deck of many things will always sell (£3-£8 approx)
As far as the conspectus' go - they are probably more valuable than the magazine they are contained in  -so possibly list them as conspectus first, magazine second!

(BTW if anyone wants any Dragons from about 130 - 230 then you can have them for the price of shipping - I wasn't joking about giving tham away )

I'm seriously thinking of doing the same (or rather recycling them of course - throwing them in the trash would be unthinkable).

The Dragon Magazine Archive sure saved me alot of space. Incidentally, you can image the discs to a dvd and the program will still install and run.
The same with the Forgotten Realms Interactive and the Core Rules 2.0.
With the CR2.0 you can put all the CR2.0 files in a folder then copy all the Expansion files to a mock folder. Insert the CR2.0 folder into the list of CR2.0 Expansion files, then burn everything WITHIN the mock folder to a cd.  Install CR2.0, then install the expansion and the program will run from the cd you created.

Of course, most of you owners have already done that right?  

I'm not saying that I have, but theoretically......

Thanks for the advice guys. I pretty much thought they were useless I was just wondering about the inserts. Thanks again.

Are you implying you don't?

Same here.  Call me old fashioned but I still like reading large articles in print rather than on a screen.

Great. That explains why only two of about twenty I had on Ebay sold. I bought about 100 of them, thinking I'd keep the ones I wanted and sell the rest. Big mistake...

There are a number of ads for nonTSR D&D stuff that I haven't seen and aren't listed on Afterglow1 or 2 or any of the other such lists.

At some point I'm going to have to dig out my boxes of these and go through them one at a time.  I haven't looked at the Dragon archive in a long time but I didn't think they scanned in the ad pages.
