lol, there's no way in hell I'm bartering with a hungry, marauding idiot in the apocalypse. At that point, what you have is what you have unless you find it. There's no way I'm entering into lawless negotiations with strangers.
As much as no one likes to admit it, there is a point with semi-durable goods like magazines, where there is a quantity on hand that outweighs it's usefulness.
Yeah, I tend to look at the insignificant difference between the average and the all time low. What are we talking with magazines, a few bucks? Not worth the wait.
No, that's a great price for sure. Honestly, at 25+ mags, it's probably time to shift the focus somewhere else. Maybe that's not a lot for some people, but that'll last me multiple lifetimes.
