Oh the joy of selling Books.

Today i had a pretty interesting day.Here's how it went : "SAM Books for SALE!!" I think i said this sentence for like..maybe 20 times today?yeah no kidding.maybe more even.Took the train to subang this morning..made joe wait for like 45 mins at the station and called me 14 times lol.sorryy hardo :P and cos of this i thought of a new year resolution : Learn to be punctual.Hahah. so we took the train then the bus to sri kl and from there,we had to walk a long,perilious journey to taylors main entrance eventho there's a side gate which is soo near but its closed.why bother putting any guard there in the first place. yeah so,we finally made it to taylors without breaking our arms(i duno how joe carried that two bags of heavy books with his super thin arms lol) then we started to get "comfy",hanging at the entrance cos this year, we cant sell photostated stuffs inside the coll compound altho last year they could.I guess thanks to taylors upgraded "University college" title or watever.Sooo..we 'camped' at the entrance..was kinda reluctant at first to like shout "SAM books for sale" and all that..and for the first few hours under the heat and all,i was abit frustrated already.the whole road there was like some pasar malam lah..just that instead of clothes,its books.to make matters worse,this year's sam students are pretty few i think and there's like duno how many ppl sselling books everywhere.so after going to asia cafe twice asking ppl if they wanna buy any and still getting NO customers,i went back to the guardhouse,trying again.and well again,nothing.So yeah,i was Very frustrated at that point..special thanks to yun ceat who accompanied me and tried to help me sell the books =) I thought of getting somethg to eat or drink after i sold some books.in the end,i gave up and went take a drink at ac.Then in ac,adrian and kien seng and sean were talking to this group of students and there's this girl who's interested..i had to take this opportunity alrite..i was pretty desperate that time (sorry sean:P) Then,later that girl came to our table and wanted to have a look at our books..so me,sean and joe i think went back to the guardhouse and used our hardo marketing skills.lol.and finallyyyyy i got someone to buy my books!but not all.just three -.- and i sold off my essentials,and two key idea phy books for rm70 altogether.it was a reli good deal for the girl if u ask me.and bfore u accuse me of curi-ing sean's customer,he managed to sell a bio book to her oso k! :p so..yay!my first rm70 of the day!And oh.gosh that girl is so..innocent.She said that she'll leave her books with me first and after class,she'll come get it from me.i mean like,she already paid and she left her books with me..wat if im some bad,dishonest person who'll just run away with the books or sell it to someone else and cabut after she paid?but of course she got her books la k-.- hahah.then..i think it was like 12 stg by that time..quite few students around..so i just hung at the guardhouse with wai yip and jolene while the guys went..Asia NET. =.=" and i just hung there,chattin with wai yip and jolene..at the same time holding up some paper that read SAM Books(the one faye left behind) probably i looked like some desperadee that time..sometime later,jolene went home.left me and wai yip..then we walked around some places at coll and i had this Bad Pain in my head that time..so..back i went to the guardhouse.i was actually waiting for the students to finish class at 2 or 3..so i waited.and waited.and waited.til it was finally 2.got some students .then i managed to sell 4 bio books for rm20.yes 4 for 20.aduhai. im a bad sales person u can tell.So dun care lah.then..3pm.BAM!Lots of students came out!And this time,i managed to sell most of my boooks..and ..my G.C.!wheee!well.i sold it for just rm185 and i bought it for like rm320 but nvm lah.its 3rd hand after all and i just wanted to get rid of it.oh and yeah!There was this guy.wah.he wanted me to sell a stack of books(5 or more) to him for ..RM20 i think.I mean like..wahhhhh.sai em sai ahhhhhh.sumore i bargain oso no use-.- he still wants as low as possible.in the end i din sell it to him phew.good thing cos our of that stack i managed to sell 3 books for rm40 wakakaka.then later he came back again,and i try to sell him some other books la.again he want so low price. mamamia.ok anyway,in the end,he bought 2 books from me for rm10 and he actually wanted a price lower than that but i won the bargain muahaha!but i gave him the phy lab manual for free sumore grrrrr.fine.so..after that,im only left with a feww books and tutup kedai time.Oh and sean sold his phy and chem lab manual for rm1 both hahahaha.Well,i had to admit i din expect this kinda scenario today..was pretty tiring and frustrating and i stood in the heat for like hours.Not to mention,i actually only ate 3 pieces of biscuits and guava for breakfast AND lunch.now in case u dun know,i do not eat that little for breakfast AND lunch.so..yeah.but i had some delicious cheese nan for dinner which made up for the loss =p while watching War and Beauty.Gosh,the ending reli potong steam.he dies,she dies,she dies,they still fight,The End. K,i shall end here.its been a pretty exhausting day for me..and a rather "exciting" one nonetheless and thru this encounter i learned that Marketing is definitely not my thing.whether in pasar malams or big companies.im not a fan of persuading ppl to buy stuffss..Oh well.the joy of selling SAM books.
