/vr/ - Retro Games

Yeah Toronto is pretty awful for anything /vr/ even sauga is a waste of time. When the thrift stores are charging as much as the resellers, and the resellers are higher than ebay with shipping and tax included then you know it's time to start looking elsewhere.

I used to do the summer garage sale run arounds but there are so many reseller stores and they all send out their staff and friends to all the sales 2 hours before they start to hassle people into selling to them early, and that's before you take into consideration the hordes of people hunting.

I've been at sales before, seen a car pull up on the door, someone jumps out, runs up to the guy running the sale, almost drooling shout "VIDEO GAMES?!" and before the host has even had a chance to get halfway through saying "n-" the guy is back in the car as the driver speeds them off to the next place on their checklist.

It's insane how competitive it is here to find something before it gets to the hands of the resellers.

Jokes on that guy though, he missed a copy of MMX8 for $2 that I found after they drove off.

>see this in 'thrift' store
>check condition, boxes are ripped, manuals are disgusting
>turn 360 and walk right out.

took this a couple of weeks ago. The carts were crusty, the manuals in bad state, one had a detatched cover.

Lierally not even five minutes later some tall skinny guy wearing an actual fedora had bought Zelda 1.

>go in, see these take photo for a chuckle.
>do a lap, take a look at the novels
>come back
>everything is gone
>literally been about 5 minutes

Z1's box was ripped, missing flaps inside, 2's manual was almost glued together and the cart was fucking disgusting.

They also a had a Pokemon XD special edition cube for $40, it was missing all the cables.


Toronto is the fucking WORST.
