    So I ordered Quake 4 as my free game.

    Does it just show up in the mail or somthing?

    It materializes out of nowhere when you're asleep. You just have to tie a shoe to your closet door.

    Done.

    (It says I have 0 points now after I clicked want it, I didin't have to confirm anything, and I figured maybe you downloaded it like D2D)

    :)

    You get matched up with a user, and they have to confirm that they are shipping it to you. Go to My Requests, and see if it says that you're matched and if they are shipping it out on a certain date.

    I was outside mowing the lawn when my first game fell out of the sky and hit me in the face.

    Did you leave negative feedback? Because you should have.

    What do they get out of giving me a game? (I'm an idiot and don't understand the system.)

    There wasn't an option for "game grievously wounded me in the melon," unfortunately, so I just threw the game back to the guy who dropped it on me and forced him to cancel the trade through a series of hostile negotiations involving a rooster and a hand grenade.

    Those 100 points that you no longer have.

    Wow, crazy.

    I'm shipping out my 29th game today. I've received 9. I still have 5 trade credits and 4,000 points. I'm hoping for Mario Kart Wii and DDR Wii soon.

    I've gotten an embarassment of riches from Goozex pretty much all at once; reaping what I sow and all that. Within a week, I've gotten:
    • Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
    • God of War: Chains of Olympus
    • The Orange Box 360
    • Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
    • Tomb Raider Anniversary 360 (coming this week)

    And I still have 1,000 points in my account and an empty request list, so that if I suddenly feel like grabbing something I can throw it onto the list. I was still learning exactly how the system works and didn't originally intend to match for all of the games on my Request list, but I learned quickly how quickly you can match. :)

    Hey, you should have received the referral bonus from my first trade.

    I keep getting matched for Eternal Darkness, but I don't have enough points. I guess no one wants my R63 Companion disc and Polarium DS cart. They're full packages, too. :P

    Well crap. I just checked the tracking of my last package and I see this:
    Label/Receipt Number: 9101 1288 8230 0337 0954 64
    Status: Undeliverable as Addressed

    Your item was undeliverable as addressed at 3:12 PM on July 8, 2008 in HOUSTON, TX 77072. It is being returned if appropriate information is available.

    I check his address on Goozex and the address I used for the mailer and they are the same. Paypal green-lit the address so it should have been fine. So frustrating. I'm thinking of asking for a cancellation, because otherwise he'll negative feedback me.

    I'm not sending it again, because it's a 100pt game and it's not worth shipping twice. The guy is new too.

    EDIT:
    Bullet Undeliverable as Addressed, July 08, 2008, 3:12 pm, HOUSTON, TX 77072

    HUH? Delivered, but then not delivered?

    EDIT EDIT:
    I PMed the buyer, and e-mailed Goozex about it.
