The Goozex thread
 
I dunno, I guess I am trying it out. I have just the disc of Gears 2 (1000 pts) which would get me like $35 or so on eBay after fees, but if I am reading this right, I would get enough credit to buy a used copy of SF4 (1000 pts) with. I already have a buyer for my game, so now I just have to wait until it's my turn to get SF4. And I guess I got a free trade credit for signing up, so basically I am coming out on top of this whole thing.

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 01:41 PM

What is the gamefly scam?

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 01:45 PM

Also explain more on concept of Goozex, seems interesting.

G 04-04-2009 01:55 PM

shameless referral link

http://www.goozex.com/referral.asp?idr=6191763576306

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 02:50 PM

Who pays for shipping? I know there is the 1 dollar fee, but do they send a package to you to ship in or what?

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 03:08 PM

Also gamefly scam and what you get for referral system as I'll sign up under you since you got me free shit before but curious when give to others.

G 04-04-2009 03:39 PM

We pay for shipping. I know from eBaying games that it costs $1.85 to ship a complete game, but in my case since I am only shipping the disc, they have a do it yourself envelope type thing that you can print and mail the disc in. That should only cost a stamp. They also have a paid label you can buy and print for USPS first class for complete games.

G 04-04-2009 03:40 PM

Basically I only get 1 trade credit ($1) when a referral does their first trade.

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 03:48 PM

Signed up and listed all my GameCube and Wii games, since I sold my Wii. Got 8000 in points lined up when they sell. Seems like decent wait for newer games though.

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 05:39 PM

Already sold two of my games on here, got em packaged and ready to ship. So we'll see how this works out I guess.

G 04-04-2009 05:40 PM

Some guy told me that sometimes those long waiting lines drop pretty fast because most people either do not have enough points or no available trade spot open when it's their turn.

Yeah, it didn't take long at all before my game got sold either. I guess this is a huge online thing that I never knew about. Cool.

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 07:31 PM

Yeah, a lot of mine are older shitty games nobody would want, so don't expect those to move to fast. But got like 1100 points lined up so will be able to get whatever I want. Like this as its easy to list as opposed to ebay.

G 04-04-2009 07:45 PM

And there are zero fees. I haven't exactly figured out the point system yet, like I think 1000 pts equals $54.99, since that's what SF4 and Gears 2 cost used at GS. I bought Mirror's Edge the other day for $34.99 used, and it has a value of 1000 points, so it's like making $20 if you sell a copy.

PapaGeorgio 04-04-2009 09:26 PM

I think points are like 100 = $5 If you look at how you can buy points that is what they come out to.

RoXer 04-07-2009 08:15 PM

gunna do it right now

G 04-09-2009 12:07 AM

I see you got some feedback already. And a 50 point tip???

PapaGeorgio 04-09-2009 01:13 AM

Yeah, was unexpected. Dunno just shipped it through the site. Paid extra buck or two than going to post office, but was easier for me. Got a few requests for games to ship today too. So doing pretty well with this site thus far.

RoXer 04-09-2009 01:20 AM

I had a request for a game but cancelled because I couldn't find one of the discs but I'm 80% sure where it is

Fignuts 04-09-2009 01:26 AM

Listen, what happens in my bedroom, is MY business, and you have no right, asking such a personal question.

G 04-12-2009 11:59 AM

I knew this would come back and bite me in the ass. I sent the disc in a small envelope with just a stamp...no tracking. It's been a week and he said he still hasn't received it. Other things that I mailed out that day arrived Wednesday and Thursday. :(

Karma, I guess. :roll:

PapaGeorgio 04-12-2009 01:08 PM

Doesn't goozex protect you from that kind of thing, or is it only if you get tracking service.

G 04-20-2009 11:47 PM

Still haven't heard anything. I shipped it on the 5th, and I think I read on the website that if the buyer doesn't leave feedback or anything within 21 days, then the seller is automatically awarded the points. So, hopefully I do not hear anything bad from him in the next 6 days. All this bullshit just to save $1 for delivery confirmation. :roll:

Funky Fly 04-21-2009 12:27 AM

lol you always get tracking with sales transactions, come on. You are putting the power in his hands.

G 04-21-2009 01:01 AM

Yes, we've covered that I am an idiot. Free insurance quotes. Thanks

OMGGGG So happy right now.


Posted by: Goozex administrator on April 23, 2009 - 11:55:48
Traders: the package bounced back to our offices for two errors. The first is that the buyer did not provide sufficient postage. The second is that the USPS had an issue with the seller's address and stated "Attempted Not Known" Seller: Please double check your address Buyer: Please make sure to have accurate postage for future games sent. We are reversing the feedback and refunding the buyer.

PapaGeorgio 04-25-2009 12:44 PM

lol
I'm still waiting for any game to get sent to me before I send more out.

G 05-20-2009 02:06 AM

So I guess I am having Fallout 3 sent to me. I didn't even know what was going on. I received an email saying some guy said he's gonna ship it to me within 3 days. Wasn't really expecting that. Dunno if I should cancel the trade, if I can, because I am not exactly "thrilled" right now. I could just flip it on there I guess, and get my points back. :-\

PapaGeorgio 05-23-2009 01:12 AM

I'm getting Fallout 3 shipped to me right now as well. First game actually being sent to me.

G 05-23-2009 02:19 AM

OMG WE ARE LIKE TWINS

Oh yeah, I was browsing the forums there, and apparently KoOS is a pretty active member.

PapaGeorgio 05-23-2009 11:39 AM

lol

G 05-24-2009 04:43 PM

Got the game yesterday. Played about 3 hours so far. Not very impressed. Seems like there is a lot to learn and it gets too complicated/feels overwelming. I have been feeling very dumb lately. Maybe I should stick to Mario Kart. :-\

Hopefully this will be one of the games that get a point increase, so I can make something off of flipping it.

PapaGeorgio 05-24-2009 11:18 PM

Yo G why the fuck you keep signing on and off xbox live. Trying to watch a movie and you ruining the fucking flow

G 05-25-2009 12:00 AM

I dunno, I popped in an original Xbox game, and it kept doing that. Anyways, played 4 hours of Fallout, and couldn't do anymore. Put it back up for sale, and it was already picked up. :D

PapaGeorgio 05-25-2009 12:07 AM

Nice, I put some more games up now too. Wanted to wait to see how long it took for me to get games, see if I liked the process before I fully committed. I'm also not overly excited for Fallout 3 but figure I can give it a try and see.

G 06-05-2009 05:02 PM

Everything is going swimmingly so far. Really wish I would've joined this site sooner. Roxer needs to mail out a game, because I am out of trade tokens. :(

I'd buy one, but they come in packs of 5. That's $5 I don't have right now. So, when my turn for SF4 comes up, I would have missed it due to lack of tokens. :(

PapaGeorgio 06-05-2009 07:43 PM

Yeah I had to buy pack of 5 tokens already. I agree, liking this site. Just wish games would come instantly when you request them, but understand supply/demand thing. If you can wait it out til your turn this is good site. If you want instant satisfaction stick with other methods.

G 08-13-2009 10:18 PM

The one thing I felt it was missing, has been added today with a Firefox add-on. You can now see how many offers there are of a game you might request. Works great :D

No, Canada too. You can either set your trading region to Canada only, or open it up to include the US. Also, there is Goozex.eu for those other people.

Funky Fly 06-20-2010 10:58 AM

So you trade your shit in and get credit you can put towards other titles, yeah? How are the trade values vs the "new" game prices?

You list the games you want to offer, then when someone requests it you mail it out to them, receiving points for it.

Newer games are worth 1000 points, which equates to $50. You can then spend those 1000 points on another newer title, or lots of older ones. Games and movies range from 100 to 1000 points.

Just joined, sending out Final Fantasy X tomorrow, then gonna get a "test" game.

If this works out I'm going to unload a shitload of games I want to get rid of.

Xero 07-01-2010 01:19 AM

The old school games are pretty ridiculously priced. As long as people want a game, you could buy an NES game off ebay for like $3 with posting and make what's essentially a $2 profit.

Probably won't do that but it's actually worth a shot if someone actually buys it, and definitely worth a shot if someone wants something you have (making basically a $4 profit on, say, Super Mario Bros for NES, which no one would actually buy but you get my point).

Extreme Angle 07-01-2010 05:48 AM

How are things going for you. What is your username so I can befriend you and see what is happening. I bet your name is Xero, dunno why I need to ask.

Xero 08-04-2010 03:55 PM

Things are going pretty well. I've gotten quite a few games over the past month. Sent out about six or seven. No problems except my Arkham Asylum disk was scratched and affected a few cutscenes with stuttering. Gave feedback before I realized it affected the game (it played well otherwise which is why I didn't think the scratch affected it). But I Disk Dr'd it and it's fine now.

lol and my username is phanto.

G 08-05-2010 12:09 AM

Whenever you receive a 360 game, install it to test it out. Haven't heard of any problems with a game that installs 100%.

G 12-05-2010 12:19 PM

For a "limited time only" new users receive 3 free trade tokens when they join. You could also use my referral link.

RoXer 12-05-2010 01:22 PM

I found it funny that the change they're making to trade tokens requires 500 feedback score to keep it the same and I have 490. I'lll probly have it by next though

D Mac 12-05-2010 07:40 PM

Thinking about joining this as I have a bunch of old games just collecting dust and the local game store wont take them.
