Does that site keep everything in the Toys/Dolls/Games section, or do they sometimes have games lumped somewhere else? I've seen video game stuff in the games section, though it's usually nothing compared to the amount of board games.
As to the original question, I search eBay, Chasethechuckwagon.com, Craigslist, two local Gamestops, and a nearby shop called Replays. All my local shops really suck though, so the Internet has been a real life saver.
Sometimes Goodwill has older stuff,but for my Dreamcast I used Amazon.com and bought all my fighters from there.
Systems: Sega Dreamcast(x2), Sega Genesis(x2), Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Genmobile (portable Genesis), FC Twin, PSX, PS2(x2), GBA, SP, Xbox 360, N64, Showcase Arcade
On the shopgoodwill.com they are under camera's & electronic equip -> Gaming Systems and Games.
and @ futuramaguy42 The stores at the Mall are usually up and down with what they have. Usually Common Nintendo and Genesis Games. The one called Game Store is usually over priced, but every once in a while has sales... One time I got Sonic and Knuckles there CIB for $1, now its $20. They have a lot of 3rd party accessories new for systems like Genesis, SNES, and N64 (ex they sell new N64 ram expanders). Its really hit or miss when you go in. Sometimes they have a bunch of systems, sometimes they dont. Systems are usually a bit over priced, but one time they did have a Sega CD for $30. They are also a good place to go for modern games that are usually sold out everywhere else (ex: they had Wii in stock when you couldnt find it anywhere at mainstream stores, same with Wii Fit and Mario Kart)
Game Trader sells mostly used new games, used blu-rays and depending on if you show up at the right time, a ton of retro games. One time i walked in and was looking at some nintendo games, and the guy working there just walked over with 2 big boxes of stuff behind the counter that someone traded in and they didnt even go through.. he just said $5 each for whatever game you want. Was able to grab quite a few good nintendo games.

You should try the Replays up in northport. Its only about 10 mins up mcfarland and ive found some pretty decent stuff up there before
The Play N Trades stores have good deals on systems,the one near me has a Saturn for $35 and a Genesis model 2 for $20.I wish I would of bought my Saturn there,I don't know if they sell them with the controls and cables.

That's an meh price for a Saturn, mine was around 40 for the system with 2 controllers and a few games, and it was in the original box.

I've seen a few good titles in there from time to time, and I will say that they do take better care of their stuff, but from what I hear, the Tuscaloosa store is bad mostly because its manager is a douche and everybody hates him. Also, why does Replay's hate Sega so much? The most I've ever seen for DC titles in one store is five(sports games), and there's never anything for the Saturn whatsoever. Even the Genesis collections are usually pitifully small in comparison to the others.
