Goozex game trading site - New coupon for free games and other news

Not open for further replies.
So far I am not having any luck with Goozex. I am not sure really what is wrong. I had two games supposedly shipped to me and neither ever showed up. Maybe the people used those paper mailers and they became damaged or lost because of them.

I was trying to give enough time for the first one to get to me so the feedback option became officialy closed. I guess you snooze you lose your points. No biggie. The second also never showed up. I got the points back for the second and tried another game which is supposed to have shipped. We will see.

I think the frustrating thing is that you can not see the user feedback you are getting games shipped from. It would be nice to have a visible feedback system. If multiple people had a game available you could select the one with good or higher feedback.

I have never had a problem with items being lost in the mail before. My address is correct in the system. So far my experiences are not very good. Not able to get a game even shipped from Gamershare and games that supposedly ship not arriving from Goozex.

Hi Humakti,

That is very strange. PM me your Goozex username and I'll refund your points for the first trade and I want to contact the sellers directly. Also, let me know what games they were.

thanks, and sorry this happened.

[quote name='pop311']what do you ship your complete games in?[/QUOTE]


The one I shipped was in a padded envelope with a small amount of bubble wrap to fill it out. This was for a PS1 game. For PS2,GC,DS and XBox games I would bet a padded envelope would be fine due to the hard case.

Same here with a game. i got the other game friday so if my 2nd game shipped 2 days later i would thought i would have it by monday. Its weds and i still dont have it.

How long do i have to wait to report that i didnt get it (been 7 days today)

goblin commander is the game i never got
 
Here is what they say on their FAQ:
If you don't receive a game, please wait two weeks before submitting feedback, to allow the postal service sufficient time for delivery.
Click to expand...
So 7 days isn't long enough, although I can understand that you might be getting anxious about it. The fact of the matter is that although you can choose whether you will ship the game in "1 day" or "3 days" there is nothing really requiring that you do that, and no need to confirm that you actually did ship it, so I could see people putting it off. Plus, the post office can sometimes be a little slow.

If you want points and feedback, then you have to choose to ship it. And it will un-match you in like 24 hours if you do nothing.
 
While we're on the subject of missing games.
I reported a game (Persona 2) missing today after 11 days. The faq states that "Be sure to wait long enough (10-14 days) before providing feedback, to allow enough time for the postal service to deliver the game to your address." and I didn't want to lose my ability to provide feedback like humakti's case for waiting too long. Seems like my points were refunded BUT I think humakti's has a good point. What is the point of having a feedback system if we're not allow to see the other person's feedback? Also, why isn't there a way for us to contact the person we're trading with (ask about when the game was shipped etc)? In fact, the system in place right now doesn't even show me the name of the Goozex member that was suppose to sending me the game.

Goozex sends emails that say the username of the person who sent you the game. Feedback is only useful to Goozex, it lets you receive more games at one time (for good feedback), and if you send a couple bootlegs or have bad feedback you can get banned. I would like to communicate with the person I'm trading with though.

doh!
Didn't realize I was suppose to keep that email.
It is kind of weird that the info isn't accessible on goozex's website under "My Requests".

I know that, but my point is that even if you choose to ship it there's nothing forcing you to actually do so right away. So it's certainly possible for someone to take an extra couple of days to ship.
 
Goozex, I think the points for old sport games on the site need to be adjusted. Whatever source you're getting your prices from probably doesn't recognize that companies don't reduce the price of their sport games because they don't need to...stores clearance them out on their own before the next version comes out.

All sport games from 2006 or earlier shoot be 100 points. I can't really think of any exceptions except maybe 2006 Xbox 360 games, which might be worth 200-300 points since they're going for around $10-15 on Ebay these days since the 2007 games are out. But there's no way a 2004 baseketball, football, baseball, or hockey game is worth anything more than 100 points. Even at 100 points, it's doubtful anyone will be requesting them, but it's a little more likely. I see a glut of old sport games on the site right now that no one is going to request because they're 200-500 points. I mean, these are games that EB/Gamestop can't sell in their 3 games for $10 bins.
 
I have a question for Goozex. Let's say that you have two games on your request list. Both are listed in the "available now" search results, and you are listed as being "first in line" for both of them. However, you only have one open trade. How does the system decide which one you will be matched with?
 
I think it just goes alphabetically and sends a request for the first one on your list. That's what it seemed to do for me back when I only had 1 trade slot open. Now I have 10 slots open (sent out 20+ games now) so it's not a problem.
 
Why is Mario Tennis Power Tour for GBA 600 points? That's the equivalent of $30, and I can go to Amazon and buy it for that. Half.com has it for around $11-$12 so it doesn't seem to be that rare.

Because the site tries to use current retail values and $30 is the game's retail value.

You'll notice I didn't mention wresting or NASCAR, because wrestling isn't a sport, it's bad acting, and NASCAR is guys driving around in a circle...I guess you could consider it a sport...but a lot of people put racing in its own genre...which is why when Eb/Gamestop excludes sport games from their trade-in deals, a lot of times they'll still take in wrestling and racing games.

But most other GBA games don't seem to have their points values dictated by MSRP (actually, this is true of most games on the site that aren't new releases). So I don't understand why Mario Tennis is an exception.

Because the site uses Amazon or some similar site's prices and Mario Tennis is a first-party Nintendo game, still in print, that never got an official price reduction and probably won't unless they put out a $20 Player's Choice version, then it will go down to 400 points. I guarantee you if they change the point value of Mario Tennis to something stupid like 100 points, no one will ever list a copy for trade on the site. I'm not even sure if I'd let my copy go for $30. I take it you're concerned about the point value because you're looking for a cheap copy? Considering that the 10 year old Mario Tennis game for N64 still goes for over $20 cart-only, I doubt this is a game that will ever be worth $5...although you might luck out and find it on clearance somewhere like Target.


Goozex, I have a question for you. Now that we can request complete games, what kind of feedback do we leave if we request a complete game, the other person agrees to send a complete game, but they don't send a complete game? I have this problem...I requested a complete X-Men Legends II for PSP for 400...only worth 400 points to me if it's complete. The other trader sent me a copy that had the game, a broken case, and no instructions. A game without the instructions isn't complete and I really don't want to leave positive feedback for the transaction. However, there's no feedback option for "didn't send complete game as promised."

My guess would be leave neutral feedback and possibly see if you can get a 100 point credit or something from goozex because of the trouble. This would be the nice way to handle this *winks at goozex*
: )
 
I have a quetion. Do I get the points for clicking that I will ship the game, or after the person receives the game?

On the flipside, I am never going to request it at 600 points, because I can get it for that NEW from Amazon, or for half that (including shipping) from Half.com. If you'll look at all of the other "Mario" games for GBA, most are in the 100-200 point range. The two most expensive are Mario Golf at 300 points and Dr. Mario/Puzzle League (which doesn't really fit in with the others) at 400 points. That's why I'm wondering why it is an exception.

[quote name='Blackout542']I have a quetion. Do I get the points for clicking that I will ship the game, or after the person receives the game?[/QUOTE]
You get the points as soon as you agree to ship the game.
 
I agree with you, the other Mario games are too cheap. I'd be willing to pay 400 points each for them as they are pretty much all getting Player's Choice $20 versions now. The only one I got from the site was a bootleg and I don't see a bunch of people rushing to give them away for 100 points, otherwise I would have received them by now.

Besides, 100 points doesn't really equal $5. Most of us know how to find good clearance games and trade them on Goozex for more than we paid. For example, Digital Devil Saga 2 was $15.99 at Game Crazy recently and worth 700 points at Goozex. That's only around $2.50 per 100 points. I've bought doubles of some higher point value games I've seen on clearance and thrown them up on Goozex to earn some cheap points. It's a win win situation...other users get a popular game, still sealed, and I get points for cheap. If I was actually paying $5 per 100 points, I wouldn't be requesting much.

Thanks to CAG, most of us never pay retail or anywhere near it for games.
 
I realize that most people (myself included) are not buying points but rather trading games that they either got cheaply or don't care about anymore. But the fact remains that you can buy points for money, so it's hard not to make that kind of comparison. In fact, I was just thinking the other day how good a deal many of the 100 point games are -- it might be worth it to purchase points to buy them if they were available and you were first in line. Of course, their low points value does make it somewhat unlikely that they would be traded.

In any case, you have to agree that Mario Tennis is probably not worth 6 Super Mario Advances. I tend to agree that the 100 point Mario games are too cheap, but on the other hand 600 points for any used GBA game (that may not even be complete) is way too much unless it is "rare."
 
I got my first broken disc only game the other day, it was Daytona USA for Dreamcast.
I knew it was in trouble when I picked up the Goozex envelope and it bent in my hand. I opened it to find the disc nearly broken in half. I guess I lucked out with my other disc only games, they all arrived in pretty good condition.

I sent the bad feedback for "Broken Disc" so I could get my points back. Sorry for the negative feedback if it was a CAG who sent that too me, I just wanted my points.
 
By the way, this point has already been touched on, but I think Goozex will have to come up with a way to inform people when points values have been changed.

If you increase the cost of a game, the people with that game on their request list should be notified somehow, or at least given a chance to give their approval when they are matched for the game or else they could get hit with a large "charge" for a game that they thought was going to be cheap.

And let's say that they agree with me and decide that 600 points is too much for Mario Tennis. If they change it to 200 or 300, I wouldn't want to be one of the people who had put their copies up, expecting to get 600 points. True, you get a chance to confirm it beforehand so this is less of a problem, but I could still see people confirming without fully reading the details.
 
Goozex,

I just signed up for your site today after another CAGer mentioned that it was a better trading community than SaySwap. However, I didn't know you were offering a coupon code for 200 free points after the first positive trade. Would it still be possible to add this coupon code to my account? My user name is the same: kinesis8

BTW, I did some comparing with other trading sites like gamershare, sayswap, etc and I can say that Goozex is hands down better than all of them. Which is why I've already agreed to send off Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (360).

i think the most simple way would be the same way they do with the seller

THERE HAS BEEN A MATCH DO YOU STILL WANT THIS GAME FOR XXXX PTS

it should say

Just like it says now about there is a Buyer willing to take the game

It's not a big problem for the seller. I deleted all my PSP games that dropped to 100 points. I'm not buying a bubble mailer and paying $2 shipping to send out a complete PSP game for $5 shipped. As soon as they dropped a bunch of PSP games to 100 points, they were all requested...but I cancelled every trade and deleted those games from my list. I'll trade them somewhere I can get better value for them. By the same token, I have around 100 complete Gameboy Advance games, really good games that have decent Ebay values, and every single one of them is 100 points, since almost all GBA games are 100 points. I think this is the reason we are hardly seeing any GBA games show up for trade on the site, which is pretty disappointing. I hope some of the point values are raised because not only do I want to list my complete games, there are a lot of GBA games on my wishlist as well and I'd like to see people start to list them. Portable games hold their value a lot better than console games but that doesn't seem to be reflected on the site.

On a positive note, the Xbox and PS2 market seems to be booming on the site : ) I just picked up my PS2 a couple of weeks ago so the site has been great for me.
 
Hi Everyone,

Looks like I missed a lot again. My weekend has been kind of crazy, but we had a great promotional event at the University of Maryland on Friday night. So let me get to all the points raised here...

Point System: I want to stress that the point system is very important to us. We spent a lot of time building an algorathim that gives weights to current msrp, release date, and goozex supply & demand. Because there are thousands of titles we needed to build something that could give points that we were generally comfortable with. The first thing that a lot of people noticed were the mismatches with rare titles. Those points are really being dictated by our msrp feeds and they require a manual change. What I have done to help with collectible games is talked a lot with VGColletor.com and will spend a lot time matching our points to their prices. Regarding sports games, the reality seems to be that points don't matter so much as a what year they were released. I will say that selected sports do have a different points forumula to account for their rapid decline in value. I have seen only a few sports titles that are not 2007 be traded. Some examples include NCAA 2006, Winning Eleven 8, and a few other 2006 titles. The publishers have done a great job marketing those games so that people want a new copy each year even though the game engines and graphic don't really change.

Still we are looking to make sure we offer a fair point system.

icruise: Game matches go in alphabetical order when you have low feedback score. Just like Rictor said :)

Your comment about comparing our points to what you can find out there is really good. A lot of times the first question I get is how much are points worth. I think that's a natural thing people want to know and make comparisons with.

Are points fair in the eye of the beholder? I don't know.

Unless its a rare title and I manually changed the points, points don't change dramatically. Much weight is given to current msrp that serious price drop would need to be done to cause large point swings.

Rictor: Let me contact the sender to send you the manual. Oberman's winks are noted...

Blackout542: You get the points as soon as you click to send the game.


kinesis8: Thanks for trying us out. Thanks even more for helping to build one of the best library of games out there. Seriously, I have looked around and over 900 different titles just after 2 months of operation is pretty good I think. I can implement the code for you since you traded already.

slidecage: great point. i'll bring it up at our next meeting this week when we talk about site upgrades.

So that's it I think. Answering point questions is always tough b/c at the end we're offering just another price that people will compare to so many different places.
 
Got some exciting news!

Today we took the first step in a major site upgrade that will have community features and personal profile pages. The first step and probably the most important is that you can now send private messages on Goozex. How does it work. Go to any game that you have traded (completed or not) and you'll see the Goozex username. Click on that and you'll go to a very very basic profile page. From there you can send a private message. You can also view their feedback score and see what games they traded.

Rictor: If you want, you can send a PM to the guy who didn't send the manual for X-Men Legends II and ask him to send it...email me if that doesn't work.


Remember, this is the first step and we'll be adding a lot more features to it. But we wanted to go ahead and launch this sooner than later.

Thanks and happy trading!

That sucks, I just got an e-mail about how someone just received a broken disc from me. The weird thing though, is that the same game was just posted up. I know I probably shouldn't worry, but do you think you can check who it is that just posted one up? The game is Crazy Taxi 2 and the guy's username is Scavenger4.

... so was the game re-listed? I added it to my request list again and I 'm first in line again.

That's exactly how the Sonic Adventure 2 game I traded for looked like. :censored:
 
Goozex, the private message system is nice. I just got a message from a user I requested a GBA Spyro game from. He told me that the game was going to come to me WITHOUT A LABEL and that he was letting me know so I wouldn't leave him negative feedback. I asked him to cancel the trade as I don't want a damaged game, even if it's just the label missing. I'm not an extremely picky collector, but I at least like my games to have labels and my discs not to be scratched to hell.

Maybe there should be a paragraph added to the FAQ about what type of game conditions are acceptable. Explain that a game is not a complete package if it has the case and the disc but no instructions, and add a line in there that if the game is too scratched up to trade into your local video game store, then it's too scratched up to trade at Goozex. Also, if a cartridge game (DS/GBA) is missing its label, then it shouldn't be acceptable for trade, as a used video game store like EB/Gamestop won't take something like that in trade.

On a side note, I've trade more games on Goozex in the last month or so than I have in almost a year on CAG. Anyone who hasn't tried this service yet should give it a chance. I hate the bargaining part of trading...the hours wasted trying to find some one thta wants one of my games for their games. It's so much nicer to just send out my games to people that request them, and then spend my points on games from completely different users. It's also nice not having to haggle over values.
 
Goozex,

Thanks! Just logged onto my account and noticed the changes. =)

By the way, one thing you may want to look into is that the points for some of the newer 360 games (Dead Rising & Saints Row for 850 each) actually are lower than the Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 360 game I traded. Don't get me wrong, I'm personally really happy for getting 950 points for a 7 month old game like GRAW, but I'm sure people would place more value on recently and newly released games.

Without looking at the details, my first thought is that GRAW has a much higher demand than the others, and that is what is driving up the point value. GRAW was available for a long time on Goozex, and people requested it without having enough points...
I wouldn't be surprised to see Dead Rising increase in points because it has traded a couple of times on the site...and demand may start to pick up a lot for it.

Well, assuming you're CHOWD3R on there, Goozex didn't really get my question. What I asked was if whoever just posted the game (made it available for trade, not request it) was the person I sent my copy to. Sorry if I didn't type that clearly.

Right. CHOWD3R posted for trade Crazy Taxi 2 (Dreamcast) on Oct. 2nd. The person who reported negative feedback on you was Scavenger4. I think Manchowd3r was talking about 2 different things in his last post. The picture is of Daytona USA.

sorry, I think I misunderstood what you guys were talking about.. my bad.
 
Goozex -- I found a couple of minor spelling errors on your site. One is that if you go to the page of a game that you've already requested, it'll say "Game already in you Request list." And if you give feedback to someone, the confirmation dialog says "once inserted, you cannot change you decision." So "you" instead of "your" in two places.
