Question Scooby magazine - where to buy ?

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Farnborough,Fleet or Camberley who's selling this mag ??, I saw a stickered up car at the Alton meet and thought there might be someone selling copies but didn't seem to be. (but I had to leave early 11ish so maybe I missed them).

Ian..

The first issue of SM won't be available in newsagents, although future issues will. It will be available by online order, in several tuning shops around the UK and Ireland and some of the forthcoming events (to be confirmed).

1000 x 3.50 paypal payments... nice...

only by personal email.... not nice... a link from scoobynet would have been nice and why no paypal link from the website???

Hardly worth it for £3500 is it?!?

Assuming 1000 copies have even been sold.

I look forward to it and good luck to them if it is good.

This is NOT a scam in any shape or form, these people are 100% genuine and are working very very hard to get this magazine out and make it work. I know they have put everything in to producing this mag and i mean EVERYTHING.

I think people should should be a little more supportive especially as the mag isnt even out yet and nobody has seen it yet!!!

Give them a break, at least let the mag come out then make a judgement, if you dont want to buy it, then dont buy it......if your interested then give it a chance!

Neil.

P.S. i am in no way affiliated to this mag, but i do know the people involved so can vouch for their effort.

Mart,
Sorry, I may have confused you with my post, so I'll try and explain it better

I had a personal Email with 'that' Photo of my Car and Email had nothing to do with the Mag or Subscriptions But I assumed it or Photos like it of TRAX would be in the next isssue

but on the site if you go to subcription page it shows the UK price and a buy now opition. this uses PayPal. which will create an account for you. IIRC

I did have a Paypal account but I cancelled it, making it difficult to Sign back up, not that I want to. So I payed a mate cash and he wll use his account

No not really, some people are working very hard to start a new venture and finding out it's not as easy as it looks. I would like his Mag to succeed and as Nielo says above give it a chance.


Tony

Also not anything to do with the mag etc etc.

Well Im convinced this is going to be a good magazine for all enthusiasts, and there is no scam going on here. I think you should all be excited, it can only be a good thing for us all.
BTW, the second issue onwards will be available in newsagents nationwide, it says on their website.

I have had a personal email from those involved with the magazine, and have discussed the various comments i made...

I have paid for my first issue!!!

my concern was all the people who had payed for a magazine, that based on the posted comments had not arrived??

we are all very quick to name and shame suppliers who dont supply goods when ordered!! yet this was apparantly ok??


anyway to coin a phrase, its time to draw a line and move on...

I was speaking to Jon yesterday, looks like an article had to be dropped at the last minute.
Expected date now early next week.

Wrote to them the other day and got a reply back straight away.

I for one am really looking forward to this release. A few teething problems for a new venture can be expected whatever business you are in.

Good luck to them. If its any good they will be getting my money.

Hi,

We are expecting to post all Scooby Magazine pre-orders this week.

There is a slight delay as we have had some compatibility problems between us and the printers. This has now been resolved, but it means we are a day or two behind.

These details will be posted on the website later today.

We apologise for this delay. We hope you find it worth the wait.

Regards,

Scooby Magazine Team
