[Ontario] New Store in the Northumberland County area
Economics forum
Posted on Oct. 25, 2014, 1:51 p.m. by Devonin
It's time for another "Opened a store" post!
"Dan's Books and Games" is located in downtown Cobourg, Ontario Canada and carries a wide selection of books, board games, as well as Magic, Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh.
We're still in the Gateway to Core program, so we don't have Pre-release and FNM events running yet, but as soon as we can move up, we will be doing them as often as possible.
Currently we're doing Standard/Draft Friday evenings at 7pm, with Casual Play Wednesday nights at 7.
We're open 10am-8pm in general, staying open as late as needed for event nights, every day but Mondays which are closed.
We have a respectable case of singles, and offer 60% trade-in for value, and always offer 10 cents for bulk rares of any type.
If you're in the Toronto/Oshawa/Ajax/Peterborough etc area, why not come on down and check us out? Or come out Wednesday night for casual magic, or Friday for standard!
The economics heading says "for discussion of stores" so it seemed like it ought to go here. Epochalyptik can move it if it needs moved.

It's fine in either, really. It's discussing a store and also inviting players to play. If you prefer it be in Social, let me know.

Sorry if i jumped the gun. I only meant to help you get the maximum amount of people to see it.

Awesome! I'm out in Belleville, and we can always use more game shops in the area. =)

@Named_Tawyny I couldn't agree more, I believe we have 2 shops in Belleville that run events, though only Pmarket runs FNM if I am correct. I have been trying to find a local playgroup for some modern and/or EDH, if you know of any looking for an extra player I'd love to hear about it.

Nah, just PMarket and Scalliwags, that I know of - and Pmarket recently stopped doing Modern FNMs. (Although they're thinking of maybe doing them once a month).
There's also a competitive playtesting group, but that's mostly just standard.
Also: Hello.

Well, we do Standard and Draft at the moment, and as soon as enough people tell me they want to, we'll be doing Modern and Commander as well. We also just have tables freely available all day for people to come and play whenever. But we're a little bit of a hike from Belleville if you just want to play a game or two of casual magic.

If my drive times to Hogtown are normal, you're closer to Belleville than you are to Toronto. :P
That said, yeah, it's a bit of a travel - Although if you do make core, I'll definitely be coming down for a PPTQ (PTQQ?).
Also, good luck! Do you have a website?

Not a dedicated website yet, but there's a facebook page facebook.com/Dansbooksandgames
You can also find us in the Wizards Store/Event locater which includes anything we've scheduled through the WPN.

This would belong in the social forum for future reference :0
