Title: Are any of you guys part of game traders networks? (Gametz, Craigslist, etc)
Post by: DAaaMan64 on March 30, 2008, 08:23:34 PM
I know Ebay and the like aren't specifically for game trading but I use them for that.

Currently I am quite excited about gametz.com, my profile:

http://gametz.com/user/DAaaMan64.html

It works like a trading network and thanks to Delivery Confirmation and reputation I have actually found the site pretty useful and plenty of trust worthy traders. 

I am looking for other networks and such and also to discuss them.  Are you guys part of any?

A long time ago I tried a game trading website and did not care much for it. I'd much rather put monetary values on games.

Well cash can be exchanged too, in fact I think that happens more often.

Who needs game trading networks when you have friends you can mooch off of?  :)

Who wants to loan me Umbrella Chronicles?

You can have my copy when I am done with it Vudu, as soon as I get a copy that is.

I mostly find all my older games at thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, and pawn shops. I stay away from buying online altogether. Adding shipping to the price of a game increases the amount of money I have to charge to make my money back.

I have TP, SPM, RE4, Warioware, SMG, MP3, Sonic, Red Steel, and Zack & Wiki.

And Brawl, but no way am I giving that up easily.

And Guitar Hero III, but I'm certainly not mailing you the entire goddamn guitar.  But if you just wanted the game, whatever floats your boat.

there was a great gametraders.com.au site once but they went under. I made a couple of trades and purchases, it was really good.

The last time I traded a game with somebody I was 10 and he moved away to Chicago suddenly.

I'd imagine it would be easier for people on the internet to disappear similarly.

Thats correct, it is a possible that a renowned great trader would dump their record for your game. But no likely because games really aren't that valuable.  Also everyone's games have close to the same value.
