Title: Anyone on the West Coast collecting?
Post by: Zenith27 on August 16, 2013, 04:47:32 PM
I meet local sellers on Craigslist (who are getting out of collecting) and a couple people at Game Stars but isn't there anybody on this forum in BC?

From what i see most of the people on here especally the members are mostly from Ontario area. This site works great for them they can trade and sell meeting up together or @ shows. Or ship stuff too each other @ very little cost.

Im in Nova Scotia, i message one guy i thought might be around 80 km away from me. Turns out he's in the army and got transfered out west. The nearest person to me is Crazylegs in Cape Breton 1000 km away.

So guys like us on either cost are pritty mush out of luck when looking for local people.

But keep in mind theres  less then 500 people on this site. and 350 of them are guestes !!!

Thats why its important for us to get the word out about joecanuck.com.

Recruite some new blood. LOL

How old is this site anyway....? When did it start.....?

Ya, i checked it out online... And the THE MIKE also posted a video of it too, from 6 years ago. Didn't see the flagg display in his video. It must be something they added after.

It's located in Langley, BC, on the south side of the Willowbrook Mall. It's on the mall lot ( but not IN the mall), off 200 st. and what is now the Langley bypass.

Not much in the way of transit to get out there though. It's about a 15 min. drive from the end of the SkyTrain line and more like a 30 min. bus ride.
