BOOK Fairs

[Busymom]

hquek:

BA = books anonymous. Supposedly something that should help book crazed pp along. But seems like all we are (or rather I am) doing is to egg each other on by sharing where got best deals. :?:

Yes, please tell us whenever there is good deal

Thanks to your posts here, I went to both Twinkle Twinkle and MPH sale... and the damage to the credit cards on both occasions (or maybe thrice since I went to Twinkle 2 times already)... :moneyflies:

For me, 3 boxes from MPH sale :sick: , mostly hardcovers as I don't have the patience to go through the paperbacks one by one plus have many of them already... On the way back home, kinda wished that I had the guts to check those boxes lying around as indeed, there could be good finds in there :siao:

hquek:

Well, if you find everything a mess; one tip. Follow the staff unloading new books - there may be something you want. If they are unpacking from pallet even better. OR, resort to looking through the discarded boxes. There may be good finds in there that pp don't want. Please check if the box belongs to anybody first....dunwan to cause a fight.

... as I was making decision on whether to buy certain books in my boxes, someone came to ask me if those boxes belong to me. I was like thinking :? why she asked me such a funny question huh?

Hope that was not you :lol: :lol:

No worries, I like to share good stuff. Was a bit worried this mph sale if there will be stiff competition....hmmm, guess not many pp siao like me.

Dun worry, I get that jitters too; that's why I keep mulling if I should go back to expo...I know what you mean - I went through the paperback section and I thought I was going blind. :shock:

Honestly, it could be me. But then, a lot of pp just sort the books they want and leave those unwanted lying around. Since the staff aint going to pack, I may as well help them by taking those that I want. I only go to those 'unguarded' ones and pray very hard no one come screaming at me. if there are pp hanging around the box, I won't attempt to go through. At least the person asked ....

Long time ago, this joker very quickly put his hand in MY box (I was just next to it) - I quickly smacked his hand and I kena scolding for it.....oei....don't just reach into boxes without checking hor. :x

Wanted to go there at 9am, DH still thought I :siao: or what... in the end, it was me who could not wake up

hquek:

I betta hide from your DH...dun wan kena :spank:

Yeah, he always complains whenever I suggest to go to any sale, but truth is, he can end up buying more than me. :itwasntme:

hquek:

:hugs: Same here, I wanted to go back the very same day, but decided not to try my luck with DH... Already stretched it quite far by getting him to go in the first place. Hence, don't think I will be going for the borders one.

hquek:

We actually brought the unwanted books back... but that was easy as we had more than 1 pair of hands that day.

hquek:

At least the person asked ....

Yeah, I must have looked like I was looking at other people's boxes.

:scared: You very fierce leh. But that rude joker deserved to be smacked.

Good lah, you got tag team....I have to operate alone cos DH doesn't appreciate books. Heck, a book I bought from kino for him almost 8 years ago is still in its wrapped form!

Busymom:

I was a bit surprised myself - first reaction was to smack the hand, my mouth didn't react fast enough. Not particularly proud of me (for the physical move).

i camped at my mum's place (in bedok) on Sat thinking of going there early on Sunday. Only to have to u-turn back... :x

anyway, it was pouring in the east Sunday morning.

That's ok, you are BA mah. Next time, please prepare \"hquek\" labels and paste them on your boxes... all KSP parents will stay far far away from your hunt.
