Are there no collectors out-east?

Postby CongoBongo » Sun Jul 06, 2003 7:23 pm

So
far we have collectors from pretty much all over Canada except out-east. Are there no collectors there? I went to Halifax last September and had a hard time
finding game stores downtown (did find one). There HAS to be collectors out there somewhere. If not maybe I should book a flight. How come they aren't
reaching us?

I don't know about the collectors,
but there must be some. Just took a week long vacation down east, and I hit pretty much every thrift store I could through New Brunswick and Western PEI, as
well as Halifax. Found very little, though I did score a complete VIC-20 with about a dozen manuals for $6.99, as well as a couple boxed NES games at Value
Village.

Now yard sales were a different story. It was a cold, rainy day mind you, but I started around 10:00 am and I picked up Dizzy the adventurer
for $1, Dragon Warrior and Jackal for .50 each, and a box of about 30 atari games for $5, with 2 NES systems and a Gemini. ;)

they are out there for sure. i've seen plenty of
ebay sellers located out east.
maybe they just havn't found the site yet or are just really shy.
