For example:
People magazine - 26 Issues @ $56.74 = $2.18
Discover - 12 Issues @ $19.99 = $1.66
Wired - 12 Issues @ $10 = $0.83
Newsweek - 54 @ $40.00 = $0.74
Now, again, compare the content offered, and the price. That's why I think they're overcharging a bit. |
Continuing to cherry pick magazine prices is not useful. You need to look at
national averages.
I was quoting the cover price. The average subscription price is $27.83 a year, or $2.32 per issue, for the 600 magazines surveyed in this years audit.
And we are talking about a subscription to two magazines (Dungeon and Dragon), and all the tools. That's $2.47 per issue, plus the tools for free. Again, it seems right in line with national averages.
And yet another word from our sponsors
