Online buy/sell textbooks
Tertiary students go online to buy or sell textbooks
At the start of each semester, Singapore Management University (SMU) student S. J. Neo goes online in search of used textbooks she is not able to get from friends.
"It's definitely cheaper than buying them new from the bookshop. I also sell my textbooks on the site," said the 21-year-old, speaking to my paper last week about online used-textbook store BookInBookOut.
She gets $10 to $20 off the $25 to $40 list prices for her textbooks through the portal. She does so because tertiary- education textbooks tend to be pricier than those for secondary or primary schools. Some textbooks could cost more than $100 each.
Many tertiary students like Ms Neo have turned to such privately run websites that help match textbook sellers to buyers. The demand has led to more portals springing up over the years, with many started by students themselves.
One of the latest entrants is UsedBook, launched last December by Mr Dennis Luan, 29, a part-time Master of Business Administration student at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
BookInBookOut was set up by SMU student Tay Wei Kiat, 23, in late 2009 and, last October, it merged with another online textbook marketplace called Buyback Asia which catered to NUS students.
Other online stores include sgTextbooks, launched in 2009 by Mr Alvin Poh, 26, who graduated recently from SMU, and Secondhandbooks, founded the same year by 34-year-old housewife Rohaidah Russell and her husband.
An older site, BookFishing, was started in 2007 by information-technology engineer Lim Dawei, 29. He initially started it for students in Nanyang Technological University when he was still an undergraduate there.
BookInBookOut and sgTextbooks are dedicated to trading textbooks, while the rest also offer other book genres, like fiction.
Their popularity has been burgeoning of late.
Mr Poh said sgTextbooks had about 2,000 to 3,000 textbooks listed initially in 2009 but this has grown to over 12,000 now. Secondhandbooks saw a 40 to 50 per cent rise in textbook sales from 2009 to last year, said Mrs Russell.
For BookInBookOut, Mr Tay said 20,000 to 30,000 textbooks were sold from 2009 to the end of last year. It has sold 10,000 books so far this year.
Many portal owners said they started their sites to address the shortcomings in many online used-textbook marketplaces, such as public e-mail folders and online forums.
Mr Luan said that online forums linked to technology or university websites are "not organised" for book buying and selling and book listings often lack detailed descriptions.
Mr Tay noted that some sellers and buyers post on forums their personal contact details but this posed privacy concerns.
Another gripe: Public e-mail folders and forums often had outdated book listings.
"This led to much frustration and numerous calls before a book that is actually available could be bought," said Mr Lim.

S'poreans spent $1 billion on online shopping
$1 billion, Amount S'poreans spent on online shopping last year
SHOPPING online has become the main channel through which lawyer Grace Teo buys her clothes.
"I don't always have the time to physically go shopping, so online shopping is more convenient for me, as I can buy what I want from my desk at home," said the 31-year-old.
Ms Teo is among many Singaporeans who are turning to the Internet for their shopping needs. In fact, Singapore consumers spent a staggering $1.1billion on online shopping last year, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
Some 46 per cent of that spending, amounting to $508 million, was done on overseas websites. But domestic websites were surprisingly a big hit, with Singaporeans spending $420 million on them, making up 38 per cent of their total online purchases.
Another $178 million was spent on websites whose countries of origin were uncertain. One Singaporean who loves shopping on Singapore websites is civil servant May Chen, 24.
"There's one local site I like to shop at because the person is a senior from my school, so there's that trust in terms of quality," she said.
Ms Chen added that shopping on Singapore websites is easy with Internet banking and less cumbersome than shopping on overseas sites, which comes with concerns like exchange rates.
The survey, conducted by research firm The Nielsen Company and commissioned by online payment service PayPal, polled 407 Singapore consumers in January and February.
Mr Elias Ghanem, managing director and general manager for PayPal in South-east Asia, India and South Korea, said Singaporeans are more comfortable shopping on domestic sites and "local websites are more aware of Singaporean shoppers' tastes and preferences".
He added that this phenomenon is seen in other parts of the world, noting that in a similar survey done by Forrester for Australia, 25 per cent of Australians preferred to buy only from domestic websites.
For home-grown blogshop Ohsofickle, owned by popular blogger Tammy Tay, 20, online stores have a price advantage.
Ms Tracy Tack, director of the blogshop, said webstores here can offer lower prices than those of retail shopfronts where mark-ups can be two to three times more as the overheads are lower.
In Ohsofickle's case, Ms Tay's popularity with Singaporeans is a part of the site's appeal, Ms Tack added. But the popularity of online shops does not make brick-and- mortar stores irrelevant.
Dr Lynda Wee, a retail expert from the Nanyang Technological University, said physical stores have the benefit of the human touch, allowing customers to browse and try out products, as well as giving shoppers instant gratification from immediate purchases.
