Price increase for FSM?

[Justinryan215]

So, we are all aware of the change to bi-monthly for our favorite mag…

I just saw a post in a Facebook modeling group that the original poster received a renewal notice that showed a price increase to $53 and change. Has anyone else seen this?

is this just someone misreading and jumping to conclusions?

I haven’t seen this as of yet but I’ll be watching…

I just looked. It’s $46 for the print AND digital and then it’s $43 for just the digital version which seems to be the new thing. I’m old school and enjoy the printed version myself but…times are a changin…[8-)]

I subscribe to six magazines and two newspapers. Every one has had a price increase in the last year or two. Some increases have been substantial. And most of the mags have gone to less than 12 issues a year. I suppose printed literature is a dying thing, but I am willing to put it on life support.

I hear ya Don. That’s just the way things are and I’m right there with you on the whole life support thing.

On a different note I’ve seen your new title but didn’t associate it with you. What happened to your old “Don Stauffer” account?

I will never subscribe to digital.

I will never subscribe to digital.

With all the problems they have with this site, it would be a hard, if not impossible sell for me.

I guess several people have had the same problem. One day I found I could not log in. The only solution seemed to be to create a new account. When I did I found I could use the same icon, but not the same username, because it was already in use! And I found no way to delete the old account. So, needed new username!

I renewed at the new, higher price, but ONLY for one year. Kalmbach’s past shenanigans have made me leery of any kind of subscription or promise for more than I care to lose.

That said, at a cost of about $6.87 per PRINTED magazine, it’s still worth it to me. The on-line stuff I can take or leave, usually the latter. I splurged on one of the FSM digital compendiums on CDs, and lived to regret it (it’s basically unuseable unless you have a 24-36-inch monitor).

Fortunately, I had opted for a 3 year subscription before the price change. With so many publications forced to raise prices I am doing that with most of my subscriptions now. Sure, the publication may fold during that time but I think it is worth the chance.
