Kit Car magazine out of business?

[Ron61]

Well, I just renewed my subscription for 3 years and am paid until July 2012. And I used a Money Order. I hate to see the magazine go away as I enjoyed it and also seeing pictures of some of the cars that people on here have had in it. I guess there is no way to get my money back now as it has already been processed. And I talked to them on the phone about a week ago and nothing at all was said about this.

Has anyone confirmed that Kit Car Mag will not refund their money or transfer the balance to another magazine? It's too bad that everyone lost a few bucks. How about the 100+ people that lost their jobs 2 weeks before the holidays. As for my 2+ years left on my subscription, they can give it to one of those employees who needs it more then I do.

+1.
I feel bad for those who have lost their jobs, particularly at this time of year.

Hmmmm.

I wonder if KitCar / Peterson would consider expanding into an ONLINE subscription type of business?

If it were say $3.95/mo (small fee), no distrution hassles, they reach all corners of the world instead of just a few newstands here and there.

If anyone here is still in contact with Brian or Eric, I wonder if you could ask and see if this was ever discussed as an alternative and viable option vs. just going out of business.

Somehow, I don't think either you or the ex-employees will get the extra money, if there is any left over. Besides , it's only a few bucks, -- from about 20,000 people.

Well, each of us can hire a lawyer for $1000 or more to get back $50 (kind of like my personal business problem but only on a grander scale) , or we can band together and spend $20,000 worth of lawyer fees to get back our money.

The site is still open and you can post in the forums, but I couldn't get into the Customer Service section at all. No information has been posted in the forums as of now about what is going to happen.
