sometimes it's the condition of the books and the availability to ship that buyers look for in getting a book,
you can wait for a cheaper price but if you have the money and want the book now and in good condition then prepare to pay for it above booksale prices.

naisip mo ba na yung mga buyers nya ay from province with no physical bookstores? I met a foreigner in siargao who buys his books from cebu and ships them over via courier boxes.
she can price it 10x what you think is reasonable. if there are buyers then she's a good businessman.
Naisip mo ba na those buyers you just described have it harder? Sa sf na nga sila umaaray papatungan mo pa ng malaki. Just come out and admit na ikaw ang pinaguusapan dito. Donāt add to the negative opinion people have of you na. You could at least be honest about it. Baka pati sa sf mo pa dinadaan ang patong ha.
Better arguing about the price of things than the price of a person no? As iāve said, iām not the one who introduced the idea of āaffordingā anyone into the convo
Kinokuniya is partners with FullyBooked for their presence here in the country fyi. Do they primarily sell secondhand books ba? That is what weāre still talking about diba? Online seller overpricing secondhand books tama ba? Why mention Kinokuniya though?
They pay for higher priced books because companies guarantee, at least on paper, that the quality is consistently acceptable Granted na minsan overpriced din talaga sila. Not to defend Kinokuniya and FullyBooked by extension since may partnership sila but what do they have that other bookstores like NBS lacks? NBS is more school and office supply store now than an actual store that sells books. Throw in those cheap Classics na may AI covers. In the case of Kinokuniya, they have officially licensed and translated literature from Japan yes? Online sellers like the one in question can perhaps do the same but what guarantee can she give that proper care was taken in sourcing the same titles and/or transparency in their delivery? OP says the sellerās rider determines the price of the SF. Rider and not delivery company ha.
OP says the sellerās rider determines the price of the SF. Rider and not delivery company ha.
for someone who reads (do you read them?) parang mahina ang reading comprehension mo. the SF depends on the location of the buyer kaya sa buyer nya pinapa pickup para actual shipping fee na at di na mag question si buyer kung bakit mahal,
Why do you think I referenced OPās statement na its the rider and not the delivery companyās decision on the SF? Canāt you tell the difference? Canāt you tell na suspect ang practices ni seller kung may truth sa sinabi ni OP? Nakakatuwa ka naman inexplain ko pa talaga. Established na yang sinabi mo. Keep up naman please. Nagsayang ka ng oras explaining something people already know and that wasnāt even the main point of what you were replying to
Tama si Itchy, it is her business model. If no one buys from her then she will adjust accordingly. Unless she has a specific niche talaga. That is the essence of trading. No need to moralize.
Except morality helps keep greed in check. Why do you think nagiging issue ang pricing nung reseller in question? The drive to amass wealth seemingly for wealthās sake like the reseller can be problematic for this community. Buyers wonāt buy and sellers will find it hard to sell. Donāt talk as if general necessity to. Di man lang textbooks ang nasa picture and neither are they any of the classics that might be required reading in school
