Is everyone j used too the higher price of mags nowadays or am I not looking in the right place because every mag is 2-3x what the normal cost would be, it’s not like I don’t have the money but it’s hard to reason payin $500 for 15 mags that would normally cost $150, which itself $150 $1 a page IS the markup itself.
Not trying to bitch people will charge what others are willing to pay, ya got too pay too play
(Tho I do wish they had lower minimums too test quality)

But there’s some mags with the same number of total pages yet more money for a different cover
Ex. 300 total pages for $300 and then 300 total pages for $400..of the same copy idk it just seems like it’s kinda arbitrary I hope I’m being ignorant because I just can’t imagine someone payin $720 for a total of 600 pages worth of reading material and sometimes ontop of a $75 shipping cost (I’d rather them do a good job shipping and be paid extra too do so) but it really turns me off of ever shopping even tho I have chronic pain yet I’m under 65 so no doctor around me will go within a 80ft pole of anything other than tramadol
 
Hello and welcome @Nicenoids. Many people here have chronic pain and are under 65. Many can’t access Trams, like you mention.
There is a lot here to read, and the answer to that question has been answered well, so no need for me to repeat it. In short, there are many variables as to why a vendor charges what s/he does. It’s typically a team effort. There’s a huge amount of risk. Intl. mags are less expensive, but carry greater risk.
People prioritize what is important to them. Many would rather function and be able to work or take care of their families, or both, than have a new car or nice vacation, etc.

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
