When you don't see any games, do you ask? I find a LOT of games/consoles by asking if they have any that aren't out in view.

I find that approach rather uncomfortable, but hey that's me. When I first tried that I got a person with games I already had and was kinda upset that I didn't want them as they had to "dig them out". Another had a beat up Odyssey 2 with a handful of carts and wanted to sell that to me for about $60.
