    Do you get points for referring people? If so how much?
    Just asking again on the new page.

    !!!

    I dunno, I'm assuming 100 points per person honestly. I'd look around to find out, but the site's blocked at work :(

    I'm a member of goozex and have done a few trades on it. They are as legitimate and solid as any physical store I've been to. The only negative thing is that you aren't going to get any new games from them (Lost Odyssey is still pretty backed up and it's been over a month for that).

    Sorry, I was unaware of the fact that they were getting those referrals. Has anyone discovered if that's the only way to get this deal? Via a referral?

    Or can you go through the main page?

    What about online serials for PC games? Say I wanted to get the Warcraft 3 battle chest, or the Dawn of War expansions? Is the serial considered part of the "full package" (including exclusive use of the serial)?

    They don't trade games with serials :cry:

    Well that's heartbreaking news. Guess I'm sticking to the console section.

    No the referral thing is after you've completed a trade and gotten positive feedback. This deal automatically starts you off with a free trade and 100 points

    Yep, we should do this. If referrals are there, we should at least take advantage of them, and throw it back into the community. :D

    The only question is, who starts?

    I've been using goozex for about a year and I got Big Brain Academy last week. The person who owned it before had a near-perfect save file on it, a genius' score ... so I erased all saves because it was making me feel stupid. :P

    And hey, if someone's going to sign up on their own, let me refer them and I'll get a prize, too.

    Have you read my first post on this thread?
    This game is not tradeable
    There are conflicting End User Agreements regarding the trading of MMOs that prevent the full transfer of title between users. Therefore Goozex does not allow members to trade these types of games.

    This is what it says :cry:

    Just asking again on the new page.

    According to the "Refer a Friend" link, the extra 100 points and 1 trade you get for being referred ALSO applies to the refer-er. er. So, yes, you do.

    No, this is not a "special deal". When you sign up using the link posted in the OP, you'll notice that there is a field that shows a "michael247" or some such as the referral. So, whoever the guy that provided the link posted that OP is, he's getting a crapload of points from us.

    It's not a scam, but it is a bit flakey to pretend like its a special deal.

    Edit: Apparently, its both a special deal and referral, as impersonator so politely pointed out. I stand corrected.

    Are you blind? Yes it is a special deal, just look at the main page:
    Join today the most active game trading community!

    To start trading you will need Goozex points and trade credits. When you join Goozex and activate your account, we will give you 1 free trade credit and 100 points right away: that's a FREE game on us and a great way to start trading on Goozex!

    You'll also notice the game is requested but not available. No one's offering to trade it. And it never will be offered because no one's going to put up the $20+ to ship that sucker.

    Good luck finding someone willing to send Rock Band or Guitar Hero in "full package" condition (the only condition where it's required that they send everything from the original retail box).

    Actually ... upon checking the Rock Band Special Edition's trade info page, it's not a tradeable game.
    Guitar Hero (Bundle) actually has a few available as the full package. I hope those traders were paying attention. The number of existing requests for the full bundle is also huge, demand exceeding the supply by about 30 times.

    I got quite interested in this, but then I tried to put in my mailing address and even though one of the three countries listed in their 'country' drop box is Canada it doesn't recognize Canadian Postal codes, instead it says:

    Bad field address form
    blah blah blah, if your country doesn't have a zip code please leave this field blank

    So I leave it blank and it gives me the same error again haha.

    I got this same error as well when I entered my postal code like this: T4L2E9

    It worked for me when I entered it like this: T8W 4M3

    Same story here. PM if you want a referral.

    I've received Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, Armored Core Nexus, Armored Core 3.
    All I've traded away were the few games I disliked. I loathed thinking about trading them to the like of Gamestop, or having someone take a cut after all the fuss and risks with eBay. I've held onto some of them for years. I'm really very happy.

    Fun story: My second match was with a guy who lived 15 minutes away, so I PM'd him about it, met him at a Starbucks, asked him to sign a little receipt. Delivered the game with a grin and a formal bow, saying "service with a smile!". Saved shipping and got fun positive feedback out of it :).

    Disclaimer: Since this forum allows minors, the above is definitely an Adults-only situation.

    I've been using Goozex for a few months now, and it has far exceeded my expectations. 90% of the games that I get are near mint condition and I've been unloading a ton of old games that I never play any more for far more value than they would be worth at a gamestop/eb. I only had one really messed up disc sent to me, and support had my points credited back within the hour. :^:

    Here's my referral link if anyone needs one for the free offer (or just want to help a Ninja out): :D
