Why do magazines cost like about $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00, or $7.00?

It cost more money to pay the photographers that get pics of celebs like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan,we basically pay their salary.

Well, i think those prices are pretty reasonable after all the hard work they put in to it and all the challenges of getting pictures of celebs interviews and other stuff. on top of that they have a deadline, so they have to complete all of this within 3 or so weeks, the companies also have to pay employees, reporters, photographers and editors. after you think it through, these prices are pretty reasonable. I buy two magazines every month, M and popstar mags, i pay a total of $6.58 for both each month, so i think that's ok. Prices also depend on state and tax. so yea..lol.

its alot of paper
plus few people buy them year after year with the internet now
they are cheaper if you order a year or two years subscription
they are that pricebecause you are willing to pay it.
lets say a million copies of a magazine are sold in a day... it is priced so that enough people will by them but the company is getting a profit
if comes down to supply and demand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

Because the publishers must pay the writers and photographers which can be quite expensive. I don't think the cost is in the printing.

Well its a lot of paper and ink used and a lot of people have to get payed a lot of money. I think that it's pretty good price. But some are like 12.00 and I'm like "wow".

I guess due to the amount of paper used, publicity, advertisments, etc, etc. That's why it's just best to subscribe to the magazines.
