It varies a lot even within one area. I know of five different GW's in the
area. Two are a good source of systems, one of these actually sells nearly
complete systems at times. It seems to take going to all of them to find
everything though. I leave the PC stuff behind, but have found good stuff.

I think I've gotten two Atari 2600 carts from them. I've only bothered to
go in twice, and once when I was trying to get rid of a chair.
I've got to agree with Sam, the best places do seem to be the ones that are
on their own.
