Burned Games Are Illegal!
Posted on February 17, 2010 - Filed Under Business, Honesty, This Town | Leave a Comment
I don’t know if I should be upset or just laugh at some people’s ignorance in this town. Every so often we get calls to see if we want to buy burned games! Now why would we want to do that for, right? Firstly it is illegal, we sure don’t want to [...]

Yes! why pay more when you don’t have to? Just like the prenatal vitamins that I take when I was having our kid, I could buy one from a Life brand and they cost a few dollars less but for a branded one – I pay more. I checked the ingredients [...]

We were out looking for some office furniture at one of our local store and met one of our customer & his family there, when he stopped to chat with us. He mentioned that we should be very proud of ourselves since we are one of the 2 renting places left in business now. [...]

I love what we are doing – I’m proud of the man who owns this store because he always takes care of his customers. Heck! we are so good, we even tell our customers where to get acne treatment one time, when this poor kid can’t get a date because of it.
But [...]

We just found a new collection agency in Truro which will be taking over our accounts of people who have ripped us off in the last 10 years. This agency has 28 yrs of experience doing what they do best – collecting debts. So if anyone out there who “owes” us money – [...]

I need more incentive to get some more exercise in my life. With working long hours 6 days a week I don’t have much time to spend outside. I’ve got a stationary bike in the living room, but an often too lazy or tired to bother. What I need is a little [...]

This August will be our 10th year anniversary for the business and what a journey we have had. We started as a clearance center and have morphed into what we are today, trying just about everything and anything along the way that would make money while trying to do so in a fair and [...]

Many years ago, we used to let our customer/s put things on layaway, it’s a common practice here just like getting the best diet pill. Unfortunately, having tried this out and in bid to help genuine customer/s, the bad ones comes along and take advantage of it.
We had someone cheat us outright some 8 [...]

Anyone with an XBox 360 knows that Halo 3 comes out on Tuesday Sept. 25. Even though I don’t bother stocking new games these days, I have pre-ordered a few copies and most of those are claimed already. If it’s anything like the Halo 2 launch, they’ll sell a shit load of copies [...]

It’s pretty bad when a business is better off buying certain things from competitors instead of from distributors. Case in point, the local Shopper Drugmart had a good sale on Pepsi yesterday. 6 bottles for just $1.97, limit of 4 items per person, so of course me and the wife got each 4 on Sunday, [...]

I’m soon going to add CRT monitors to my list of things I have in the store that you practically have to give away to get rid of. Right next to VHS movies, music cassettes and Sega Genesis sports games. With LCD monitors becoming ridiculously cheap in the last year or so (22″ widescreen for [...]

Any computer can benefit from having more RAM, with a couple of exceptions of course. Old computer with windows 98? Don’t bother putting more than 512mb in it, it’ll cause problems. The other problem arises with old computers from the Pentium II, III and early Celeron era. Most of those need PC100 RAM. PC133 looks [...]
