Tea Drinking

Ever since the new cafe opened its door, the spouse is changing over from drinking coffee to tea.  But designer teas from cafe/shop are quite expensive, so the spouse found  tazo chai from cw-usa  which by the way is a lot cheaper and organic too.  She loves it and wants everyone to try it, so [...]

School Dances

I don’t remember having school dances as early as Grade 3 but the kid’s school had been having dances for them since school started this year.  The entrance fee is $5 and they provide snacks and drinks with supervision  of course from their own teachers.  And it’s a real dance, like a prom dance with  [...]

Guitar Picks

Bought a whole load of music stuff from a supplier in Toronto – to re-sell at the store.  People always asked for picks and we only have guitar strings for starters, so this time, I ordered a few more things to see if it would sell.  Hopefully, it does – so that we have another [...]

Gaming Shelves

The store is overloaded with games that I’ve bought of late, loads of sellers these days – trying to paying their income tax or recovering from Christmas shopping.   To keep them off the floor, I had to make some room for them at the store, so the kid’s play area had to be used as [...]

Everquest Free To Play

Everquest will turn 14 years old in a few days, in fact – I started playing Everquest a week before the store was opened – Interesting eh!  And now you can play Everquest for free – no more monthly fees but of course, there is a catch to it.  If you see the chart I’ve [...]

Guitar Pedals For Sale

We have several used guitar pedals for sale but a customer who came in for pedals asked to test the ones we’ve got but didn’t like it so much.  He wanted the fulltone gt 500 – and we didn’t have it.  So I checked around for him and found a  fulltone gt 500 at music123  [...]

PS4 Impact On Used Game Stores

So everyone had been talking about the PS4 and the new Xbox 720 that will be released this Christmas 2013 and how both Sony and Microsoft are thinking of phasing out the disc.  Therefore used game stores like ours would be impacted – but how impacted will we be?  Firstly, I don’t think both Sony [...]

Factory

The Factory is a must watch for anyone out there but not for kids I have to remind you – John Cusack put on a very good performance here but the girl who plays his daughter – Mae Whitman, she did a better job.  Mae Whitman is quite new to the movie industry, she is [...]

Scrabble On Facebook

Although Scrabble on Facebook isn’t new to FB users, I just started getting into it of late and I’m pretty much a Scrabble hound right now.  Love the game and it’s really intriguing – you can play with your friends or any random person online.  Free on FB, you can play it on your computer [...]

We owned a video game store and some people who comes into our store and see the rock band set thinks that it’s a real music set and we had to explain quite a number of times that this Rock Band is for a console game.  Luckily, we do sell some  cheap guitar  at our [...]
