Pretty shit where I am. All pawn shops, thrift stores, goodwill, etc have are a meager selection of licensed shit, SPOATS games, and shovelware, usually pretty beat up as well. I think it's one of three factors, if not all of them: Either the people that frequent them just use them as a dumping ground for trash they can't get enough for elsewhere, roaming scalpers making the rounds buy up anything of value before I can find it, or people that frequent them just have shit taste. I have much better luck when it comes to multimedia stores when it comes to good finds, in both terms of average selection quality and pricing fuckups. Though, that's just my own experiences with the ones here (and also the ones around where my dad lives, but the circumstances there are different in that shitty pawn shops are all they have for used games besides Gamestop). I've seen some anons in buyfag threads over the years have much better luck with their own local thrift stores, the way I do with multimedia ones.
Should also note that Goodwill opened an electronics specific location on the east coast some years back, and I know they sent a fair bit of actually worthwhile games they had within the chain at the time there to stock it (priced at standard scalper prices too if memory serves), so maybe in that case they've also kept sending those there, or putting them in a warehouse and listing them online (and in my own experiences, don't trust a Goodwill online vendor).
