Often I think it depends upon location. I've noticed that the VV's near the poorer neighborhoods in Winnipeg don't have as good a selection as the ones in the wealthier areas. Seems to make sense.
As to the pricing, it can be all over the map. Some VV employees seem to think they "know" what these items should and should not cost. (At times I've seen loose Star Wars figures going for $7.99. Of course they really don't sell at that price point.)
Often times I've also found that the newer toys get priced higher than the vintage stuff.
Basically I've got two favorite VV's in Winnipeg that I hit up on a regular basis. The other two I alomst never go to becuase the selection is never good.
I also go through dry spells where I'll go 3-6 times and find almost nothing. But its that one time that the mother load comes up that keeps me going back for more.
It's a little like gambling, only with little cost and a nice potetnial payoff.
