I've got some success at garage sales. I seem to have better luck at thrift stores though.

I love garage sale, probably more than half my collection has come from them.  Though I do go to around 50 on a good weekend, so the odds are in my favor that a few of those sales will have games. 
The only other places I shop are flea markets and Goodwill.

No luck here either. Most people selling them have either done so before I arrive, or they're worried about asking too little for their lot so they highball the price.  Tongue
