I've just started using goozex and it's been going pretty good so far without any delivery confirmation. But in case something happens, what would be reasonable proof you sent it? A picture of the envelope and game?

If you send it through the post office a reciept should be reasonable proof. I am not sure what it says on the reciept since I dont go to the post office to send my games out as I have a lot of stamps that I can use.

I know that several members in the US just e-mailed a copy of their reciept and it was deemed proof that they sent the game and they got their points for the game as well as the buyer getting their points back.

Goozex may seem to protect the buyers more, but as a seller, if you can provide reasonable proof that you sent the game, they will probably give you the benefit of the doubt and refund your points. They track any patterns and review your account history when making the decision, so unless it looks like you're abusing the system, they should refund your points. Always make sure to give them as much detail as possible in your emails, and be friendly, courteous, and professional! Goozex is awesome!

Thanks for the words of encouragement dtp11! I'm hoping the buyer has received the game today, so hopefully when I get back from buying my Macbook Pro I'll have receive a positive review from him and 1000 points in my account

Everytime I've gone to the post office they sell me $1.96 worth of stamps, so that's not really much proof of anything. Oh well, I'll just hope my luck holds out!

I havent been in a post office a while but I get games with a canada post label on it that has the amount of postage paid on it instead of stamps so I figured there would be more information on the reciept if you bought it that way but I have been wrong before. I guess your best bet would be to take some pictures of the game and packaging before you send it out and hope thats enough proof that you sent it.

Hmm that's actually not a bad idea killmak; photo evidence + the receipt should be ample proof that the game was sent. Oh, and I am typing this on my new Macbook!

The receipt for letter mail only shows you sent something, somewhere, with no idicaition of where.

Why worry about it. look through the high feedback users on goozex and see there are very few negs ever left. There appears to be far, far fewer issues then say, selling games on ebay with paypal.

Send enough stuff through the mail, to strangers, and eventually it will either really not end up delivered, or someone will rip you off. It will be rare enough that it is of no significance coamrped to the money saved using goozex compared to the loss trading to eb, or paying the high fees on ebay

The fact that goozex uses only points instead of money makes a world of difference. People are far less likely to try and cheat you because of this.

It looks like there's going to be a new Gamestop opening a couple of mins from where I live (North-west Waterloo if anyone cares). Is EB edge credit or the edge discount card valid at Gamestop? Or will I have another store card to add to my already buldging wallet?

hey TripleQ what intersection in Waterloo, do you know? Hopefully it's not too far from King and Uni! Never a bad thing to have another game shop in town....well, it is when you're supposed to be doing school work :S

Erbsville & Laurelwood, in the Food Basics plaza. It's pretty far out on the edge of town.

EB edge credit is valid at both EB Games and Gamestop. I can confirm this since there is an EB and Gamestop in the same mall where I am.

Thanks for that TripleQ!

On an unrelated note, the Quebecker finally received his game, and gave me positive feedback to boot! Gooood tiiimes!

Hi, I had a question.
My Harddisk listed here just died.
http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-301103U-...539486&sr=8-13

My PC recognized the HD but doesn't allow me to access the files. I've tried formatting it in numerous ways but it doesn't work. Where can I go to get this fixed and how much would it cost if it can be fixed? Thanks.

Cheapest place to get Crackdown, anyone? Just had an urge to play it again, and then I realized I traded it in a few months back while the value was still good. I'm hoping it's cheap at EB seeing as I have some credit there.

I heard it is 10 bucks at Wal Mart. I got it for 10 used at Blockbuster though. It might be 15 at EB though.

Has anyone seen any evidence to suggest that Little Kings Story for Wii will be available next week in Canada? All the websites I have checked don't even have it listed.

hey guys, another question for those goozexers; which region do you have your trading set? I had mine set to Canada, then switched it to Canada/US hoping my wait times would be decreased, but my positioning on the games rocketed up from less than 10 to like 50-60, so which is better?

There is no downside to setting it to Canada/US. In theory you were always behind those 50-60 US people anyway, it just didn't show it.. Any US traders willing to send to you would have sent it to those other 10 Canadians first. Plus there is generally much more volume on the US side too.

I'm on Canada only, because I can be patient and because it's about $3-4 more to ship to the US.

Hmm, well I have quite a few games on backlog, so I can afford to be patient, but I never really send out games, and I don't have many offers (just Dead Space, GH3 and MechAssault 2), and who knows when those offers will go through. I guess I'll just set it to Canada and try to keep an eye out for games that are requested often and offer a decent amount of points in return.
