Right now there are 20 listings for Locus.  From $0.99 for a single
issue to $10 for a set of 27 issues.  In most cases it looks like the
seller is making money on the shipping fee, which appears to be more
than what shipping by media mail would be.  $3 to $3.25 to ship a single
issue of Locus seems like a nice profit.
