 |
|
I went to Kyobo today and considered a new snowboarding or new magazine.
Good golly the prices have gone up! I used to pay 11,000 and 12,000, now those have gone up to 18,000. I saw FHM (a men's magazine) selling for 26,000!
Did this happen at all bookstores, like Bandi and Luni, and What the Book? |

| I think about 7,000 for the newest Thrasher at What the Book a couple weeks ago. |

I was going to head there, but Kyobo was closer. I'll have to see what they charge for Transworld Snowboarding. |

Yeah they have. Last week I paid 20k for Wired and Adbusters. |

ah! 17,000 or 36,000 for GQ
17,000 for Cosmo
16,000 for National Geographic I think
7,000 for Newsweek.
seriously it's cheaper for me to buy 2 books than to buy on magazine.
I don't get it...it's not like magazines require special handling or anything...WTF?! |

I was only able to find Vice magazine in Tokyo! Haven't seen it in Seoul yet.
What the Book definitely has the best prices for magazines (around 7,000). I buy a lot of magazines, but never at Bandi or Kyobo, the prices are insane. |

| You might try to buy them at the USO Office near Samgakji Station. I saw them there while booking DMZ tickets, and they seem to be US prices, or they were as of November '07. |

The USO stopped selling magazines last year. |
