FYI, I work around the area; that's why I'm so clued in. This place...the only good thing is the expo sales....

at least you get the first hand info and the first to go into the sales area... and can grab all the limited good stuff at ease!

Quite true, now I go to expo sales before the weekends. But imagine the desert days when there are no sales!

hquek:

My fault for goading you on. :spank: :

Dun say that lar. It's not your fault that I just love to buy books, esp if they are a good deal.

hquek:

hmm, megatex got computers. I was looking at cameras and tv - where there are sales, it's about $100 cheaper than outside. enuf to get him a wee bit interested?

He's not interested when he realised the sale is organised by Courts

hquek:

Hmmm, faster surfing....so you can reply faster on ksp? :idea:

Spot-on, and for bidding during auction (not that I have enuff points to win )

I guessed as much, since you can just pop over to check out during the set-up. Well, think of it this way, you can save :moneyflies: . Think of how much you will be spending if you work near a bookshop :!:

no lah...I buy books only during sales, or if they are at least more than 30% off retail price. Bookshops dun lure me at all.... :dowan:

Honestly I think I spend more money in this part of SG. There are periodic sales and we go to almost all of these...somehow there are things to buy lor. :moneyflies: Last time I'm too far so can't make it for those sales.

I do wonder. If I work in a book distributor, would I end up buying more for myself? kekekekeke

You mean you never buy from bookshop, unless there's a sale? Amazing.

Yah, I get loads during such sales, and also via online websites (those are typically far cheaper than Sg retail) ....already got too many books lying around. :imdrowning:

btw, for chinese books, I like to buy in china (last trip to HK also must squeeze a trip to shenzhen for books - my heaven :rubhands: ).
