They wouldn't be able to charge these prices if no one wanted to buy them. Clearly there are enough people from the UK to keep the magazine distributors in business.JThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15144578087609505334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696122.post-47841022740462274422008-09-09T23:55:00.000+04:002008-09-09T23:55:00.000+04:00I guess maybe its because there isn't much sale of some of the magazines. Not like UK. So they just put whatever price they want.Lost-in-thoughthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648120191371228790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696122.post-30037255687761860142008-09-08T10:44:00.000+04:002008-09-08T10:44:00.000+04:00L_Oman- Imported magazines are expensive everywhere. They cost just about the same when you buy them in other Gulf countries, and even in the far east. I just don't understand how or why distance doesn't make a difference in price.<BR/><BR/>Blue_chi- that's another thing which is even more baffling. How come US magazines can be brought in all the way from America and sold cheaper than UK magazines?<BR/><BR/>How are they able to fly a magazine all the way from the US, and sell it cheaper than a magazine that they flew in from the UK? And how come paperback books which have price tags of usually £5.99 or £6.99 can be sold here for 4 or 5 rials, 6 at the most, while a magazine which has a price tag of £3.90 sells for 6.25 rials?muscatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955758251080080159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696122.post-14407376430900202422008-09-08T10:15:00.000+04:002008-09-08T10:15:00.000+04:00The prices of magazines are just crazy, WIRED magazine has $4.99 tag on it and then they sell it for RO4 (a bit more than $10).Blue Chihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449573689529063537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696122.post-55506832814215443522008-09-08T08:33:00.000+04:002008-09-08T08:33:00.000+04:00I'm glad you pointed this out. I think it stinks that they are allowed to sell magazines at these prices! Totally unfair.L_Omanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640842359904342033noreply@blogger.com
