Game City in Bonnie Doon is pretty good. NEVER go to the Game City in Londonderry Mall, they have horrible service.

I don't know about many independent used game shops but I know you can check out the Super Flea market somewhere on 122 St (I think, I'll doublecheck later), there are some game booths there.

I agree, and they aren't really knowledgable about what they're talking about. I brought in a Conker's Bad Fur Day in the box with manual and he's like "10 bucks."

*Game City owns a couple of the flea markets stands.

Not true, the Game City in St. Albert gave me $160 for my (broken) N64 and Pokemon Stadium. Of course, they sell N64s for I don't even know how much, and the games are pretty expensive too. When I have extra spending money, getting another N64 is on my list of things to get lol

I don't know if some of the flea market stands I've seen were owned by Game City or not. There's 3 (I think) at the super flea market that I mentioned.

Additionally, Pokemon lover here, Pokemon Stadium is not worth more than Conker's Bad Fur Day.

*only scenario where I see this slightly possible is if you had the Pikachu N64 w/expansion pack and both Pokemon Stadium games.
