Regional Goodwills are stupid underrated. Almost all games are $3 a pop and the most you'll pay for a console is $40. They also tend to have bundles still in the box, sometimes unopened.

I'm sure it came down more to who lived near them and wanted to sell stuff, but Electronics Boutique was always the best, followed by EB Games, with Gamestop dead last, just because of the selection.

Of course, for whatever reason, local places and small chains have always blown those away.

Funcoland. Mine had 8 NES set up and you can play anything you wanted before buying. I'd spend hours there and buy like 30 games for $20

There were mom & pops around "once upon a time". It was cool if they said "I don't have that game but I can get it for you" then ask you 2 weeks later if you are enjoying it.

Next to that I liked Blockbuster. The steep discounts on used games was nice.

If I was at a mall, I'd go to EB games but I don't remember any especially positive or negative experiences there.

I did buy games and CDs there - and a boombox one time, but you actually liked Circuit City? To me that was how you don't do an electronics store. Inattentive and overwhelmed staff, old stock and narrow product lines (only available at Circuit City!) killed the place for me.
