I've been to Toyratt, the place has tons of stuff there (I was in awe when I first visited) but I find them to be overpriced. But the guy there still gives you deals and discounts, especially if your buying several items.
I've been going to Game Haven for years, they always have good prices, but they never seem to have a very good selection of anything pre-PS2 (they still have retro stuff, just not a great selection). Still recommend going there if you're looking for video games in general.
Super 1up Games in Hamilton is a cool store, very big and huge selection of stuff. I like there NES collection they have. However, I find them to be a little overpriced, especially when it comes to RPG's (FF7 GH for $79.99). I still recommend going there, they always have something there of interest.
Entertainment Overload is awesome. Good selection of all systems and very, very good prices. I got Klonoa 2 on PS2 for $9. Dark Cloud 2 for $25. I love going here. Definitely check it out. The only downside: it's in the most ghetto part of Hamilton.
Game IT isn't a bad place either. Similar to Game Haven, but much smaller. Really, really good prices though. Wind Waker GCN for $24.99. I recently picked up Intelligent Qube for $30. Cool little store worth checking out.
Now, I've been to a flea market in Cambridge on Hespeler Road. Inside they have a vendor called JR Controls, the old guy there who runs it is nice, but I find his prices are pretty crazy. Like $10 for NES sports games. Those are his cheapest NES games. Hell, I don't think I've actually bought a game from him. Still, the big reason I like going there is he sells boxes and manuals for NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, and Genesis. He sets them up in his van in the parking lot (don't take that the wrong way). He normally sells boxes and manuals at $10 each, unless its something like Zelda or Mario. Still, I've had crazy good finds. Metroid box and manual for $20. I found the boxes for Grind Stormer, Mega Turrican, and Whip Rush for $10 each. This guy has TONS of boxes and manuals, and its all good stuff too, no sports or shovelware (I recall he had 5 boxes for Majoras Mask). All that alone is worth checking out.
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been here before, and what are your thoughts on the place?
