up and running

this is just a notification post to let you guys know the monash business club booth is open! it's located in the foyer, down the stairs from the financial counter and has been up since the first day of the semester. the booth will be open for about the next 3 weeks or so but it depends lah. if the activity and pr departments get tired of waiting for people to buy second hand books, they might close it up.

yes, call your friends, call your tutemates, call people from the cafeteria, call anyone who'd be interested in making money, making friends, and having fun, to sign up at the registration side of the booth. for those who're looking for secondhand books, the other side of the booth has mounds of secondhand books which are mostly business in nature. i've personally seen some science books in there. engineering and communications students, you may try and see lah.


here's what you can do:

if you want to join the club
step 1: congratulate yourself for choosing to invest your parent's hard earned money on a cause that's as worthwhile as this. instead of spending it on movies, handphone credit, or dota.

step 2: go to the booth.

step 3: ask someone at the booth on how to register yourself as a member.

step 4: register yourself as a member to receive various benefits such as:

i. discounts if you buy a used book from the booth
ii. discounts if you attend the networking party, the club trip, or other club related activities.


if you want to sell a used text book
step 1: bring your used text book to the booth.

step 2: hand it to the people behind the mound of books at the booth.

step 3: wait for them to process your transaction.

step 4: receive a receipt.

step 5: about 2 weeks later, produce your receipt at the mmshop to either:

a) get back your book if it hasn't been sold
b) get your cash if your book's been sold

if you want to buy a used text book
step 1: rummage around said mound of books.

step 2: haggling is futile. prices stated are final.

step 3: thank you for doing business with us :)


p.s. book wrapping services are also available

we're back!

monday was the first day of orientation for the second semester of 2006. we didn't go for that one though. the one we went for was on tuesday which was the orientation day for the business and i.t. faculty. getting there in the late morning, meiyin photocopied some flyers and we gave them out after the new students finished their games in the multipurpose room, next to the student lounge.

the flyers were well received suprisingly. i think it's because of the general blurness new students have after undergoing brutal orientation, which led them to stagger out of the lounge not knowing where to go. and THAT's where we hit them! "here you go/here's a flyer for you/hey check this out" was all we had to say for them to take a flyer. let's hope they did look at them though. but not to worry. our semesterly second hand book sale booth will be up soon enough. so hang tight and watch this space!
