Are there any store in the GTA that buy old toys anymore?

I'm trying to get some cash for Sunday, and the universe is throwing all kinds of road blocks in my way!

The Snail isn't buying until spring, maybe.
The Toy Addict is closed, I think.
Planet Hobby in SQ1 may or may not.

What the hell?! I need to get rid of this stuff!!

Anybody know of any stores in the GTA that buys toys?

Any help would be appreciated.

As crazy as this sounds........... hear me out

Get a table at Ontario Collector Con.

Think about it, you invest a little but you get that good platform to sell AND you will be in the dealer room before everyone else too.

You were going to drive around to whatever store to sell your stuff anyhow, and you were GOING to pay entry into Ontario Collector Con anyhow....... measure up that money and see the gains and savings.

Snail buys toys?! Are they generous or stingy with the pay out? I've got some Neca TMNT, SF4 figs I wanna unload.

Don't waste your time with stores. They will pay you as little as possible so they can make a profit selling. Not complaining about that it is a simple reality.

As the others suggested get a table. I have a table for this weekend and I am going to be selling to shrink the collection (it has gotten too big again).

Good suggestion, but as the show is this sunday it's a little late, and besides which, my problem is not having money, so I can hardly afford a table.

Look at my BST list, that's what I've got to sell. It probably wouldn't even cover the cost of the table.

Honestly, even if you find a place that buys old toys, you are going to get next to nothing for most of what you have. Silversnail would probably offer $40 for all of it if you were lucky.

I know this won't help you in such short notice, but maybe a table at a fleamarket and adds in craigslist and kijiji, provided you have the patience.
