Old console systems and games.
About a month ago there was a guy that had a few tables up in the Student Centre area selling old Nintendo consoles and games etc. I didn't get a chance to look at it because I was in a rush and by the time I came back he was gone.
Does anyone know if this is a regular occurrence or maybe just a random one time thing?

He was there a lot during the summer actually. I'd always see a few people buying stuff from him, so maybe he'll be back during the school year too.

I dunno, from what I noticed he was there a lot this summer, definitely once or twice every two weeks or so.

His prices are ridiculous. I took one look and never went back.

You're better off hitting up 1UP Games near Lime Ridge on Fennell.

I've got a PS and an N64 on my laptop... and the PS is set to run with a PS3 controller when I plug it in... muhahahaha

Any other good systems? I wish someone would figure out a PS2 for real, all the versions I know are supposed to be buggy...

You can contact someone at the MSU and ask what his company name is (if he has one) or when he's coming back. I've done this before to find out when a jewelry seller was coming back. He had to register and pay the MSU to be allowed on campus, so they will have his info somewhere.

Just email the most appropriate title you can find on this list. I'm thinking the MUSC Admin is your best bet.
