267.0. "Where in Buffalo / Toronto ?? HELP!" by MXOV04::JGARCIA (Juan Carlos Garcia MIS MEXICO) Wed Apr 26 1989 17:31

Hello everyone,

I will go to Buffalo, N.Y. this week (from Mexico). I would like to know 
where I can find the NES at a good price, as well as the games. Also I will 
be in Toronto some days, but I know here the prices are greater than in the 
states, but I'd appreciate information about the prices in this city

Can anyone help with this?. Here in Mexico it is very expensive:
greater than 280 doll (for the kit with the gun) and between 60 - 100 doll 
each game.

Thaks,
Juan Carlos

	You can beat those prices in any Toy or Department store. Ask someone where the closest Toy store is, once you get there...

	RE: .1 <You can beat those prices in any Toy or Department store. Ask someone where the closest Toy store is, once you get there...> Yes, I know that, but my question was where I can get the best prices. I won't have to much time to look in every store. Anyway, thank you. JC

267.5	Prices in Toronto	TRCT02::WALDNER		`Sun Apr 30 1989 16:04`	23
	Juan, Being a Toronto Nintendo addict has proven to be rather costly for my son (10 years old) and myself. Prices for the system with gun (no game cartridge included) are about $190 CDN (=$155 US). Most games run about $65 and the better ones $85 CDN = $70 US. Then there is sales tax at an additonal 8%. My son awaits my return from Boston with great anticipation since I almost always pick up a new game in New Hampshire where there is no sales tax and the prices are good ($40-$50 US). I have not tried Buffalo, since it is a 1-1/2 hour drive away and I still have to consider the cost of gas and the issue of US/CDN customs and excise. Since I travel to Boston 3-4 times per year, it fits well with my needs to acquire Nintendo games. However, play value of a recent acquisition (Bubble Bauble) lasted exactly one day. Usually it takes my son 1-2 months before he beats a new game and by then I'm already setting up my next trip. I hope this info helps. regards Frank
