i will not buy a magazine that's been skimmed through by someone else. it's not new anymore. people look through the mags to see if they want it, but then they buy a fresh copy. i've been interested in buying certain mags but only found bent and torn ones. what is the store supposed to do with those? that's why they come in plastic. i won't buy one in torn plastic. i'm sorry if there's nothing there to interest you, but to tear it open and then not buy it is stealing.
