A rare exception to the rule "if it looks to good to be true, it isn't", We subscribe to several magazines via eBAy - what a bargai!

I don't know if this is Vendio-legal or not, but could you post a couple of reliable sellers IDs?
I don't have any particular magazines in mind, but wouldn't mind browsing from a trusted seller.

I remember a couple of years ago there was someone here who was looking for affiliates for magazine sales. I was actually considering it, as there was no upfront cost, just some work posting listings. Then, that person went NARU, and they disappeared.

I used the tiny url because without the link made the page too wide - I hate scrolling to read!
Here's a link to that seller's store ( I should add that I don't even KNOW that seller but have had good experience with him/her:

I've bought from BlueSky something or other.
Magazine subscriptions are a TRUE BUY! I've bought them as presents for granddaughters.

Just look for any seller with a lot of good feedback ... you will get great magazine subscriptions for way reduced prices ...

I've read they're cheap because magazines make their money from their advertisers and with more subscribers, the more they can charge their advertisers.
I've had good results purchasing magazines from 24-7-salesgirl.

I found a seller with lots of feedback and 100% at that. I found quite a few magazine sellers and am anxious to get some more. If I had really thought about it and investigated earlier I could have gotten magazines for Christmas presents. Might not be too late but they would not get them until way after the holiday. No biggy I guess. The prices are unreal on most subscriptions.
I learn something new all the time here at this board. Thanks everyone. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas.

WOW these are great prices.... Just signed up for 2 yrs of forbes and 3 yrs of Entrepreneur magazine for less the $9 for the whole deal. You could not even buy 2 or 3 magazines retail for the price I paid for the whole deal.

Here's the secret...
The magazine companies that sell these subscriptions are provided with the magazine subscriptions at below publisher cost. They are basically charged the postage expense to mail the subscription to the subscribers that buy through these selling agencies.
How does the Publisher of these magazines make money under the above scenerio?
The magazine publishing business revenues come primarily from advertizing revenue. The cost that magazine publishers can charge for their advertizing space is dependent on magazine circulation numbers. The more subscribers, the greater the amount they can charge for their advertizing space.
In this equation, these magazine selling companies boost subscriber circulation for these publishers and are, in turn, provided with the magazines at this incentivized price.
One last piece of this equation is the fact that the Publisher themselves gets to retain all the renewal subsription revenue for all magazine subscriptions purchased through these selling agencies.

My husband was thrilled with the 3 year subscription to Flying Magazine for a measly $10.78. He used to subscribe to it and when it came time to renew, they wanted almost the newsstand price.
This is a man who is impossible to buy for.
Thank you one and all!

Is there anything like this for newspaper subscriptions?
I'd dearly love _The Wall Street Journal_.

Thanks for the link. The BIN is only $6 less than what I can get it for as an ex-subscriber, and I wouldn't have to wait 6 to 10 weeks for the subscription to start. I guess I was hoping for big - big - big discounts.
Still, if one could score a good auction buy, it might be worth it if you had more patience than I do.
