QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Kevin, Kevin, Kevin - we are having a disagreement again. I will hold your hand while we talk and ask that you look into my big green and brown eyes with blue rims and see if I can't distract you from your reasoning. You eat at a favorite restaurant, have a favorite beverage and include your girlfriend. You both have a great time and enjoy the whole evening. This costs you? Depending on your taste - you could spend up to $100 or if you are like the driver and me, you will average about $10 to $20. Then after a day or two - it is but a memory....pleasant, but all gone! Meanwhile your magazine arrives, provides immense pleasure and in a few days, is there again for your reading enjoyment. In fact, until you literally throw it away - it is always there, unlike the food and beverage. (Batting my short eyelashes at you) You will have to decide, since you are now an adult, what you will and won't let into your life. If you drop your Trains magazine, they will miss you, because their customers are their lifeblood. But it is your decision - do I read or do I eat or do I save some $ by cooking and therefore can afford to read and eat. I will give up cigarettes, beer, wild men and strip clubs, so I can afford to buy not only the Trains Magazine but also the Classic Trains. Ok Kevin - your hand is getting too warm, so we must cease this conversation. But I thank you for your kind attention. Mookie

Trains and Trains magazine... I see a correlation of about R=0.95 (that means REALLY good)

QUOTE: Originally posted by kevinstheRRman Newsweek turns out to be 1.19 an issue, Rolling stone although they may distribute their advertisments worse then Trains, i paid what... 99 cents each? If you look at Trains magazine, the ads are small, but still- about 10% of the magazine is ads, they are jsut better distributed throught the magazine.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wallyworld Ill tell you what I told my wife-the cost is well worth it because we can use the old issues in the place of Pampers.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Nora But how many subscribers/readers do Newsweek and Rolling Stone have? Undoubtedly many times the number that Trains has. What Newsweek and Rolling Stone lose by having lower prices, they make up for by selling many more copies, and by being able to charge more for advertising. You can't really compare a special interest publication like Trains with a mass media publication like Newsweek.

Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by zardoz ...and yet, you have no problem using this FREE forum, provided at no charge for us. Perhaps Trains should charge a user fee for this, to help offset the losses accrued due to bon marché customers dropping out on account of a pennies-per-day price increase. Arrêtez votre pleurnicherie. Si vous n'aimez pas le prix, n'achetez pas le magazine !
