Couple quick ideas:

-Make a note of which columns will be regular every month (not sure how to indicate that).
-Add the website name everywhere, if its printed and handed out some peeps might not know the site.
-Have a paid subscription for printed version

($5/month, covers $1.50-2.50 printing depending on quantity and shipping?)

All great ideas IMO. We also need page #'s so when you print it out it is easy to keep it together.

I think there should be a whats "hot" on e-bay and also a e-bay scores of the month section(Nistle might as well be a guest writer for this).Or maybe a section like a then and now comparison on what certin games used to sell for, Be it more or less than they do now,using old saved completed listings from e-bay.Those are a few things that change every month and I find very intresting.But all and all I think the e-zine is a huge success and I can not wait for the next one.I think this has already been brought up but how about more than one issue a month,sort of like a bi-weekly Nintendoage newsletter of sorts.Thanks to everyone who put in time on this project it is greatly appericated. P.S If I win the contest I pick NGD's cib Chubby Cherub..LOL

Hot sales or sales from 3-5 years ago would be cool. Just a small corner section with ~5 listings.

I also wanted to suggest more frequent than monthly, but I think with how much work it takes the quality or content would just drop.

Since there is a new forum section there should also be a thread to discuss each recurring ezine column.

I just wanted to stop in and say thank you to everyone who worked on this e-zine. You all did a great job.

Oh, and BTW, I didn't get a copy in my email either.

great work everyone that participated, I read all through it during my morning coffee!!
possible future topics might be (interesting from my point of view)

-Protos (which ones really are known to exist, which ones are mystery)
-Test carts(why are people so keen on collecting the test stuff, what can u actually do with it?)

just an idea...

anyway keep up the great work guys!

I just wanted to say the e-Zine was great! It was very well written and informative for us noobies. Keep up the good work, I think if word gets out about this e-Zine, this forum will really take off.

As far as suggestions go, I think a monthly, or bimonthly contest would be cool. Like a contest only Dain and the other admins of this site know about until the e-Zine is released. And then you have till a certain day to submit your scores or whatever.

Hey I love all the feedback here and once again want to say Dan did a great job putting it all together. Dan asked me to kinda focus on eBay and such and I hope to incorporate some of the ideas here into that in future issues. Thanks again for the suggestions.

I didn't get it either. Checked my junk mail folder but it was too full of useless junk to really sift through.

I'm gonna print it out and read it while i'm at work.

Nice job guys, interesting read. Lots of it was common knowledge to me, but I think it's an excellent start with plenty of potential. I hope to be adding some writing to the mix, but we'll see what the man in charge tells me in PM, I have a few ideas for some articles.

HOLY SHIT! STAN!!!

-------------------------

"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount? At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

I didnt get the email ether. I checked my profile (to make sure my email was valid) and checked my email and junk folder (I have a hotmail account).

I downloaded the PDF, and will print it off as well.

I'd really like it if it become available in print. But man, that would be a lot of effort.

I just had an idea for a small section. For the big sellers, how to get the most money out of your games on ebay.

The zine was excellent, definitely of to the right start. Everyone has excellent suggestions as well. I would also like to suggest maybe an inerview with a different NA member each month, maybe we could get to know each other better that way! If I had to pick a favorite section, I love Wizards Hidden Treasures Revealed article. There are definitely a lot of games that would work well in that column. I also like Bravehearts suggestions on collecting sub sets. That would for sure be a great way to go, since collecting everything is a little daunting task. Collect by developer, for example. But great work by all!! Well done!!

I think an interview with a random member each month would be great.

Or maybe a shorter Q/A with a few members a month. Who knows.

I'm around, I just don't talk much unless I'm buying someone's manuals, but now I have a reason to chat more, I like writing stuff like this. Been doing tons of reviews recently so it'd be a good idea.

Yes this Zine was quite good, and as a new member @ NA it brings me great (geeky) joy to see this kind of thing come out of the community. Some really solid info, and enough different voices to keep it fresh throughout.
I do have suggestions, not critisms mind you, but things I would enjoy seeing in the future.

- How about game tips or codes? I know there are walktrhoughs everywhere and sites dedicated to this kind of thing, but I am very much an NES player and I think this would be fun.

- A Top 5 list. Everyone likes a good list right? Top 5 Zapper games, Top 5 Data East releases. That could be very cool.
