Kill Coop!!! (1 Viewer)

[MaryJane]

Sorry Mike, I had to start a new thread.

Those bastards have taken our text list off their site!!!! :burn:

Jihad on Coop!!!!

 

[marchetta]

Calm down! You can still see what your prescripted texts via the student information link on my mq.

 

[MaryJane]

Ta marchetta, I just did that.

But its more the principle... and I dont get it. MyMQ still uses Coop, so why doesnt Coop just leave our textlist on there?

lol Jamie - shaved monkeys

 

[prusso]

it was taken down cos the list they put up had numerous mistakes, and they also want u to access your texts via mymq student portal

 

[iambored]

oh wtf! at least i saved mine (and my units for next year - i wouldn't be able to access these from the portal) onto my computer.

:O dam them!! i dont understand why, i thought they sold out their competition. Unless, its just like terrorists, where another one just sprouts in its place...

in this case i hope they are like terrorists, i don't want to buy from coop but there isn't anywhere else to buy from.

 

[buddys]

you can still access the text info if you know the unit code

...


when you click the hyperlink, you just need to change the unit code at the end of the web address:
http://www.coop-bookshop.com.au/bookshop?_ACTION_=COURSE&inst_id=23&sem_id=062&subj_id=POL168
for this one - change the POL168 to whatever unit you were after

I got in
Got the books
Got out

All happy I didn't have to wait a queue
Grumpy cause I have no excuse not to read them now :burn:

those stupid folders are annoying - everyone crowds - couldn't they make more or be enviro friendly or something?

 

[Good_riceZ]

LOL i tried once, even though they were still wrapped (ie I didnt tear off the wrapping and then wrap it back), got rejected quicksmart. And I waited in line out of nicety! Not sure if theyve changed their approach, but just a little warning I guess?

I mean if that doesnt work, time to get some printout and start taping for sale sheets all around uni!!

 

[iambored]

Last year the owner lady told me if it was in its original shrinkwrap you can return it from about a week after you bought it.

 

[Good_riceZ]

OH LORD! They ripped me, a naive 1st yr then

Btw good work buddys I prefer using that method, I dont use mymq much, if only to check warning for fines!

1. Get in line, close behind someone,
2. start coughing and sneezing really loudly. If possible, don't cover your mouth and aim at the back of their neck,
3. repeat 1 and 2.

He's probably gay

 

[boinkBOINK]

Yes. It's gone.

 

[boinkBOINK]

how can they do this to me =\

 

[jake2.0]

So does anybody know how much '%' off there is this week for co-op members?

 

[lcf]

i think it is 15% - i thought i would be smart and buy everythign last week - but there is mroe stuff to get now - queues! AHH!

 

[marchetta]

No, it's 10%. Should've brought the textbooks earlier

 

[iambored]

i'm so disorganised. there is one text i might buy but i have no intention of thinking about it for another week (even though by next week we are supposed to have read 4 chapters).

 

[glitterfairy]

I would bother more about sales if my course readers weren't the only thing I had to buy this semester... (at least, I think so) I bought one last week at it was $6 for CUL202.

All those people paying $100+ for multiple textbooks (for one course!) have my utmost sympathies. I freak out at the beginning of term trying to scrounge a few hundred together for dance fees, but going by rough estimate for let's say, a science student: $200 x 3 = $600, x 2 = $1200 that's a lot to pay for textbooks over a year :/
