Question: I have a stack of books I was planning on selling to Half-Price Books. Could I get more money for listing them on eBay or Craig's List?You could probably sell your books for the top price on a site like Ebay or Amazon, but you would have to factor in shipping, waiting for the book to sell, and Ebay/Amazon fees.I would suggest looking at www.bookscouter.comWhen you search the ISBN number of the book you want to sell, you will get a list of all the online companies that will buyback your book and their quote. The companies will pay you directly and shipping is included with all of the buyback quotes.A big plus for me is the turn around on the payment is usually within 1–2 weeks of sending off the books, which is way quicker than Amazon.Here is an image of an example book (as of today 8–13–18, prices fluctuate). You can see that the Amazon lowest price is not to far off what the buyback price would be (not including fees). This is usually the case with most books.
Where can I buy good Korean language books around Manila?
Hi! It may be difficult to find a bookstore specialized in Korean books in Metro Manila. But, please try to visit National Bookstore that has so many branch stores in the Philippines. http://www.nationalbookstore.com.ph In addition, take a look at Korean online bookstore. http://www.hanbooks.com Incidentally, there are more than 100,000 Korean people living in that country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreans_in_the_Philippines
I have a job interview with Books a Million on Tuesday and I have a few questions?
BE PREPARED: Do your best to postpone answering the salary question until later in the process (when they're getting ready to make an offer), or counter by asking them what the range is for the job and how bonuses may work. Or, by telling them that you're sure that you (both) will be able to agree on something fair to both parties when they have decided to make you a offer. I've had recruiters tell me that they automatically disqualified anyone who hadn't visited the company Website, so be sure to visit BOTH the "corporate" site - http://www.booksamillioninc.com/ - and the "retail" site - http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?... How old is the company? How many stores (200 in 19 states + D.C.)? What kind of stores are they (strip mall, stand alone, regional mall)? What's the latest news? Did you know that they are the 3rd largest book retailer in the U.S.? What's the "Millionnaire's Club"? What else can you find out? Use that information in the interview - let them know you know about them - and use it to ask questions. Like, how do they manage the growth of 200 stores? Are there policy manuals? How much on-the-job-training are employees supposed to receive to keep the company consistent from store to store? I'd also check out Amazon's Best Sellers list and the NY Times Best Sellers list to be aware of what's happening in the book industry. What are the top Booksamillion sellers? Try to postpone salary and benefits question until they make you an offer. Focus in this interview on what you want to know about them in order to decide whether or not you want to work there (interviews are a 2-way street!). Don't tell them how much you want the job (bad negotiation strategy) or how much working there will help you. They're trying to figure out how you will help THEM. So, give them the information to help them decide they need you. Be yourself! But, remember you are in "personal marketing" mode, and sell your product. Good luck! YaHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
