The creditors of Experimenter Publishing and the Consrad Company reviewed bids at a March 28 hearing before the bankruptcy referee. Two publishers, B. A. MacKinnon and Macfadden Publications, entered similar bids that would almost pay the creditors in full. After these two complete bids were read, Chester Cuthell then offered $60,000 for the radio stations. The MacKinnon offer was revised to allow the separate sale of the stations, Macfadden wanted to keep the stations. Motion Picture Publications offered $50,000 cash for "Amazing Stories". Fawcett Publishing offered $30,000 cash for "Science and Invention". The Robert McBride Company offered $300,000 for "Science and Invention" and "Amazing Stories". The hearing was adjourned for a week to allow the creditor's committee to evaluate the bids.
