Default Attention Tightwads

Not sure if anyone out there is as cheap as me, but I'm always on the lookout for a good deal.

I thought I'd throw this out there - Bowhunting magazines are all over ebay - mega cheap.

I just picked up a year subscription to Petersen's Bowhunting for $4.50. Item # 190106727542 I think there are like 80 more subscriptions available at that price - just type that item number into the search field.

I've bought a ton of magazine scripts on there this year, and there's no catch. They're really that cheap. Got Maxim for $5 for 3 years. Details Magazine for $3 for 2 years. Wife gets all kinds of fitness magazines and Cosmo. I figured I'd feel it out first before I passed it along. I read somewhere that magazines do so well with just advertising, that it behooves them to peddle as many scripts (even at a bargain basement discount) - just to bolster their circulation numbers and pass the cost along to advertisers. Not sure if that's true or not, all I know is that it's a whole heck of a lot cheaper than buying these things at the news-stand.

Generally, the smaller circulation mags aren't quite as cheap.

Here's a link toa 3 year subscription to Field and Stream for $8. http://cgi.ebay.com/Field-Stream-Magazine-3-Year-Subscription-36-Iss_W0QQitemZ270141953281QQihZ017QQcategoryZ82149Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
