    Ah totally forgot about getting in at Midnight for the Broken Steel/Point Lookout 360 Expansion, and ended up 9th in line. It seems like the 8 ahead of me have it on hold though.

    Hopefully once someone puts it up, it moves fast, because there's nothing to do but install the disc and then you're done...

    Only twice I've ever paid cash for goozex points.

    Once for Fight Night Round 3 and then no one matched me :(

    And then 2 days ago for Yakuza 2 on the PAL PS2 - matched twice both timed out :(

    Anyone have a PAL Yakuza 2 they want to list - please!

    Yay, DVD trading is up! I went ahead and put my DVD collections of Slayers Try & Hellsing up. They're disk only, but they're legit (I threw out the boxes long ago to save space) so if you want to spend 300 or 350 Goozex points respectively, they're yours. :)

    The queue list is something like 50+ with about 25 offers. That is a definite steal for that game though, regret getting rid of it.

    Oh yeah, I'm first in line for My Name is Bruce. :D

    Contact the trader first. Might have been an accident. If they don't want to pay the postage, then I'd leave them neutral feedback (which is actually slightly negative feedback).

    Hey if you guys are into buying used games I made a quick little thingy to quickly check the points and trading activity of a game. Before I get too involved I wanted to get some feedback, obviously needs some styling:

    I got that game brand new and sealed for $5 a couple months ago. I was in awe that i found a sealed copy of this game. I had to re-buy the game unsealed just so i could keep the sealed one as is. It is fantastic game btw, the Dreamcast one too. One of my top 10.

    Have any of you guys sent anything within Canada?

    If so, how much did you pay to get delivery confirmation? I went to my local Canada Post outlet today and was told that it would cost ~$7.50 to get a tracking number, and there' no way I'm paying that much.

    Ugh - fuck you Goozex and your supply and demand system!

    I'm the nice guy. I put the Fallout DLC Pack 1 (Operation Anchorage/Broken Steel) into the system first. I spend the $17 and then pass it along to everyone and net a cool 450 points. It's just an install. There is no reason whatsoever to keep the disc. I figured karma would have my back for Pack 2.

    So Pack 2 is out, I'm 9th on the list, and the thing just went up to 650 points. What the fuck. Not only do I only have 600, but it makes me so angry that it doesnt even look like anyone's put it into circulation yet. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    I used this last year to offload a few ps2 rpg's i didn't play, and got some cool ds and psp games out of the deal

    this time around i'm offloading some niche titles i never really enjoyed or opened: God Hand, Gradius V, and Steambot Chronicles. Should give me a little over thousand points, which will probably be used towards some 360 games, or maybe some nicer wii titles

    hope i don't get screwed over

    edit: looking at amazon, i almost don't want to give up my copy of gradius V. it's 50 bucks new, and mines about as mint as you can get it after being taken out of the shrink wrap

    Hah - well Im glad people on here got it! I was just letting off some steam that it's a whole 200 points more that the one I first had, and now I had to go and get rid of Dino Crisis and Maken X for the DC to get up to 650 for it. (they were in my "You know you'll never ever EVER get to these..." bin, so its not too bad).

    The truth is if I can find it at a Gamestop used (where I found the 1st pack), it's only $14, and I'll start conga-line round 2!

    Well, I'll find out tomorrow. I'm sending out another game, so I'll ask about tracking options. But if it becomes a choice between $3 for an envelope and postage and $7 (or possibly more) for the envelope and postage with tracking, I'm going for the cheaper deal.

    Well that's fine then, since it nets 350 on goozex. Which is like 17.50 or so in real dollars.

    Question: is there anyway to get more trade credits without paying the 5 bucks

    Just referrals, and you have to wait for a successful trade by the referred person to go through.

    crap. went from someone really awesome who sent games out fast and in good shape to someone who signed up on sunday and this is his first trade

    here's to hoping that i get a decent copy of mass effect, since it's one of the main reasons i bought a 360.

    on the other hand, i should be getting a good copy of bioshock very soon.

    Well I think I might have found my first bad trader, which is a shame since the last guy I traded twice with has to be the most professional and courteous trader on Goozex. When DVD trading began, I requested Big O season 1 and even pm'd the guy to make sure that it was the first season. now I've got three days to spare and the trader has not replyed to any messages. The worst part is that he's done almost 38 trades yet oddly about three of them left negative feedback saying that they never received the game and didn't get a response from their messages either.
