I've visited this location with my roommate 8 times now. Only one time, have we been acknowledged or spoken to by an employee and while I don't know her name she was what kept us returning up until today. Our usual experience is apathetic stares or sighs of frustration when asking about a hobby we were trying to get back into and what boxes/prices are like for getting a whole draft box for ourselves. I have been in nerd hobbies almost all my life and this is yet another store that seems to fall into the cliche of unfriendly nerd owners.
Today, I bought one of the $15 bulk card boxes for myself. This is probably the fifth time I've bought one of these and normally I love these boxes, last time I noticed a big chunk of lands and tokens but I brushed it off and figured it was a one off from a collection or something.
I'd like to start with I don't expect amazing pulls I'm not looking for top tier sellers or meta. I just want bulk cards to play casually with my partner because this is fun for us. In the past I've pulled decent commanders, planeswalkers and a fair stack of rates/legendaries who weren't valuable but still fun to pull.
This was not a fun experience, and I did some math for you:)
In my box I pulled a total of 589 cards. In that box I found a stack of 181 lands (31%) that's incredibly frustrating especially because there have never been more than a handful of lands in these prior usually mixed in sleeves from other's collections previously but still 31% of my entire box being lands? That's annoying but wait there's more!
There was 60 cards that are just straight up not playable mtg cards. They are the pack fillers as seen in the picture.
That is a total of 41% of this box being not what was expected when I was looking to buy a small bulk box.
The good? I snagged 10 total rates two of which were dupes (again totally fine but if Imma do the bad math lemme do the good math) that's 1.7% (. 7% more than the standard pull rate for Mythics out of regular packs)
I'd get over the lands like that is incredibly annoying but whatever but for 10% being literally unusable trash? I'll be buying from literally anywhere else now and if you're looking to get into MTG or any other hobby I'd suggest you do too it'll be an better experience overall.

Can’t say enough great things about P Market! A BIG 5 STAR for Customer service! I had purchased an external Hard Drive for my sons Xbox but was getting a formatting error. Took it back to them to see if they could fix the error but was unsuccessful… instead of a refund they offered me an upgraded hard drive for the same price I had paid. 100% will be back to Shop there! Thanks again!

Awesome shop filled with an amazing selection of games! Picked up a couple of games I was looking for a minute for a great deal. The staff were were super friendly and they love games. I wish we had a shop like this in Toronto. Definitely gonna stop by when I'm passing through Bellville again. Cheers

Can’t answer a simple yes or no question about purchasing a figure on there Facebook page. Whoever handles that side needs to learn customer respect. Will never shop or go here in my life don’t really recommend there services.

These guys gave me a GREAT DEAL yesterday with a book I've been looking to get for a long time. I was down to my last bit of cash and they graciously lowered their price and accepted what I had. Really made my day. THANKS AGAIN!

THIS SHOP… AMAZING. I’ve always passed it when visiting Belleville, knowing I wanted to check it out and wow! It has everything. So many games, so many collectables! The POPS! Etc! And on top of all of the cool stuff they have, their staff is so friendly and helpful!
Something really special about them is how much they care about their customers and even just for people with the same passion that they have. I have been searching everywhere for a play to have my PS2 fixed. I’ve searched online and have seen many articles talk about how most people won’t repair them because it’s more practice to just buy a whole new-to-you one. The problem with that is, I love my PS2, it was my first console that I had ever received, new. The sentimental value out weighs the price of getting a new one. I approached the owners and they mentioned they don’t normally fixe PS2’s but because of the importance of my console to me, he made an exception, and for that, I am so grateful!
Thank you again! And seriously check out P Market! It will blow your mind, I couldn’t stop talking off my boyfriends ear about all of the cool things in there! And I mean like even original boxes systems too!

Not satisfied at all I bought a bulk lot of pokemon cards from a listing on Marketplace asked if they'd take 130$ they said no firm on price so I agreed to the 160$ they were asking I got the address come to find out its pmarket games went in I had to pay a extra 20$ tax on a item that was agreed upon for 160$ first and last time I'll ever pay tax for a item off Marketplace.
