I'm wondering if anybody here has any kind of strategies or methods to finding stuff, as it seems to me to be as luck-driven as the lottery.
All that I really do is sort out whatever I see. The racks of CDs are mixed with music, old software, PC games, console CD games, and empty cases. I've been putting them in rows with the spine facing up, and there's usually more stuff there next time I stop by. I guess they think that there's less on the shelf if it's all organized, as they tend to just have everything thrown in. Everything else, however, is just random. I found a box of N64 stuff (console, 4 controllers, 14 games), sold as a box, not individually priced like the PC games and such.
