fat deals

[8)] http://www.geocities.com/misternapps/magazinevalues
i just want to say that if this is not allowed on this forum, notify me so that i will remove it, because, several forums have allowed it and moderators have acutally encouraged it, but some also say its "advertising", but i bought mine from there, its worth takin a look at.
i got sport compact car for $7 a year and turbo, import tuner, super street for $10. if you want automobile, or C/D they are like $4 a year. it also has all the magazines like time, newsweek, people, etc...

like example..$4 bux for a year of C/D?!?!...itz like $3.99 US, well for me itz $4.99 since i live in Canada...so a year's worth of C/D is less than 1 issue of C/D at a newsstand???...explain how it is so cheap???....

even C/D doesn't offer $4 for a year subscription....cuz they offer $12 for a year for US residents....something just isn't right....but that my opinion.....

Hmm... this is what they say:

In exchange for access to our discounted prices, all members agree to receive occasional promotional emails, not to exceed 1 email a week, from Magazine Values, their marketing partners and sister divisions for the term of the subscription(s) placed through us. This does not include emails related to magazine orders, member's accounts or web site technical issues, which will be sent on an as needed basis. We will not rent, sell or disclose your name, address, email address, or personal information to any unrelated third party without your permission. Members who wish to no longer receive these emails must cancel their membership in writing to info@magazinevalues.com. When a membership is cancelled, any active subscriptions will be cancelled and a prorated refund will be issued to the customer.

well, i can honestly say that this is no bull#%@. some people may be skeptical because the prices have hella good deals.
im not pushing it in your face, i ordered sport compact car, turbo, super street, import tuner, and in fact, i got the APRIL '02 issue of sport compact car today. (which, by the way, is february :-), i would have to say that is fairly good timing. If you guys have any questions on anything, feel free to email me, and if anyone is in the bay area, (near SF) i'll give my cell or whatever if ya want more info

peace,
matt

-oh yea, and that thing about the 'promotional emails?', i have gotten one email from them and it was my account confirmation

any Q's hit me up... misternapps@yahoo.com

i got several people who ordered on http://www.supraforums.com
i have a post there under misternapps as well, and the moderator actually joined. so, if you're STILL skeptical, i'll have him tell you how he made out when he gets his magazines.

i honestly have recieved 3 emails from them since i joined in january, which is 2 months ago. not bad, considering all you have to do is click delete or use a spam email account if you're worried about 3 emails. in exchange for the best prices around. and, if that is more important, i guess you could not order the magazine.

I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I'm just a sceptical person. Maybe I'll setup a spam account and order a $5 magazine.

Out of curiosity, what do you get out of this?

There, I ordered a $6 subscription of SCC, so if its a scam, I'm not really out anything. I noticed the company had a paypal rating of 1000+, so I feel ok about it. If it goes well, there are many more that I want, I just felt the need to test it on a cheapo.

Super Street barely touches on it every once in awhile. I used to get CA&E, and it was a good mag. They also have import tuner and turbo on that site. Those were $10 though, so I thought I'd stick with a cheaper mag first.

Good a guinea pig.

Let me know how it works out.... Of course $6 is real tempting....

Here's another one if anyone is interested.... I ordered a two year subscription to 8 or 9 magazines from

Nation Magazine Exchange
1 800 772 6247

I paid $9 a month for All my Magazines I get
Sport Compact
Car and Driver
MotorTrend
Men's Fitness
FHM
Christianity Today
Home and Garden (Wife.... and my femenine Side *w/ lisp* )
Shape (Another Chick Mag)
Yahoo Life
Readers Digest

I got all that For $9 a month !!!!!

BAD NEWS You have to choose all your mags from a big list... but it's big.... YOU HAVE TO PAY ALL UP FRONT..... They charge your Credit Card or your Bank Account for 4 or 6 Lump Payments I think I paid $55 four times.

Anyway My two years is just about up... so I have to call them again. . . . . But it's there if you wanna try it.

Well, misternapps is 100% legit in saying that these are real deals. I got my first copy of SCC today... which is part of my year's subscription for around $6 or $7. Great deal.

When this post first came up, I thought I'd just dump $6 and see if my subscription of SCC came.... I didn't really think it would, but 2 months or so later, it actually did. Go figure.
