Ryan Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Anyone have a copy of Alpinist 1 or 0 (or both) in decent shape that they'd be willing to sell? Quote
EastCoastBastard Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I don't know if you really really want the hardcopy , but Alpinist 0 is avalible as a pdf on the alpinist website. Quote
rbw1966 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I'd like a HARDCOPY of Alpinist 0 if someone wants to part with it. PM me. Quote
Ryan Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 15 bucks for Alpinist 1? Anyone with an Alpinist 0? Quote
goslow Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I'd also be interested in buying a 0 and a 1, PM me if you're willing to part with yours. Quote
geordie Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 I've gotten a few e-mails, but only Ryan's throwing a price out in the open. My copies aren't really for sale, but from what I hear there's quite a disconnect between the scarcity of these mags and the amount people are willing to pay. (Here's a hint, $15 doesn't talk, especially for a mag that has a $13 newstand price..) Quote
scott_harpell Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 especially for a mag that has a $13 newstand price..) Â what a rip off! you are all suckers. Quote
cj001f Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 what a rip off! you are all suckers. Some of us by magazines for more than the pictures..... Quote
scott_harpell Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 for $13 bucks!?! What do you buy it for then? SO you can brag to all your poser friends that YOU have all howevermany magazines they came out with? So you can be rich when they are a collectors item? I've never seen a mag that wasn't porn that is worth $13 bucks. Quote
cj001f Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 What do you buy it for then? "articles", you know "reading" - and since I get at least 4x the enjoyment of climbing or R & I it's a bargain. But then I don't wear Carhartt's, so I'm probably a poseur Quote
scott_harpell Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I paid $3 for Touching the Void. I still fail to see the deal in $13 for <10 articles. And notice that $15 was seen as a ridiculous offer. $46 was not taken up either must we assume that we are to pay $5 an article for a good magazine? >$50? Pretty expensive for a magazine. If you are really getting it just for the articles, why not download it? Quote
Ryan Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 Alpinist is an independant magazine, not run by a giant media corporation- their prices are going to be higher. The quality of Alpinist, in my opinion, is very much worth the 13 dollars. So- anyone out there with an Alpinist 0? Quote
cj001f Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 >$50? Pretty expensive for a magazine. If you are really getting it just for the articles, why not download it? The people asking for >$50 are speculators - notice no one's willing to pay that. As for downloading - you have to be a subscriber, so you only pay $11.50 an issue. Quote
Dru Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 shit i'm gonna immediately double-mylar-bag all my issues to keep their value up in this seller's market. Â i'm so glad i bought 5 copies of issue 1. PM me when the price per issue is bid up to $250, 4 will be made available then Quote
geordie Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 FYI- Alpinist is going to send Issue O to everyone who renews. That should help out those of you interested in a copy... Quote
