Title: Toronto Collectors?
Post by Freedman on 29. Mar 2007 at 00:39

Hey there,

I was wondering if there were any Canadian, specifically Toronto NES collectors out there. If so, where do you usually get games? I'm looking for places in Toronto to pick up games and not have to pay insane amounts on shipping.

Thanks alot :D

Welcome! I'm from Toronto!

The problem with living in the big city is supply & demand. 5 years ago, games were selling for the 5-10$ price per game. Now they're 20$+ for the cheapest! eBay and other collectors is the only way to go.

If you want a Canadian specific local forum check out cgcc.ca

If you are at the Toronto meet (details at www.cgcc.ca) I'll have TONS of NES games on hand.
The majority will be $5 (rarer or higher demand ones sell for more).
A list (not updated since January) of my dupes is here: http://www.geocities.com/albailey_nes/tradeList.html

You should be able to get common ones for less than that though at the meet.

So I signed up for the CGCC forums to stay on there and find local traders. I also plan on attending the show, so look out for the kid with the Freedman name tag :P

Should be fun, I play to grab tons of commons to start up my collection.
