Haha down to $4 now. That's what I get for sharing I guess. Now I just hope they honor the $15 I was quoted yesterday when I send it in. Better do it fast I guess.

Sharing is always appreciated but I know I don't always disclose everything until I have my local supply tapped.

THIS is what concerns me... Anyone else with a similar bad experience? I mean, going by common-sense, after I submit a trade with the stated value, I sure am expecting to get paid according to what they quoted and I accepted. To be able to change a TiV anytime, as the poster put it, means that we can never be sure what we sent in gets honored.

I would love to continue using Gazelle although I just got started on it, but if it's so iffy, I might just forget it altogether and save myself the suspence of not knowing whether I will be getting the credit I traded for...

I've traded in over 50 titles and I have not had one single title even contested for quality as indicated (perfect) let alone an outright change of the TIV. At this point I am not concerned.

I'm thinking the legal verbiage is used to cover them if they don't agree with the condition of the submission. If you say perfect and it's poor, they have to have a legal clause giving them right to suggest a different price. At that, their site says that you have a period of time to refuse that and get your items returned.

Here are a couple of minor flips from GS, factor in your own sales tax, and payment for exact ratios:

PS3 Ski Doo Snowmobile Challenge, $3.99 used, $4.00 Gazelle
PS2 Tsugani: Atonement, $3.99 used, $4.00 Gazelle
Xbox NHL Hitz 2003, $1.99 used, $2.00 Gazelle

I picked up a copy of Turning Point "NEW" at Gamestop. Stickers all over it. Fingerprints all over the disc.

thankfully i have a lot of Goo Gone.

Yup goo gone is the best.

i sent in games and claimed 'good'. But they contested it and gave me 'perfect'. Those bastards!



We should dig up some of our posts from the amazon thread. We had a lot of good info in there

Yeah, like I mentioned in the OP, they seem -very- lenient on condition.

Obviously, if you send in a trashed-up game, they ain't giving you no perfect. But if it's in good condition, saying it's perfect ain't too bad.

I'll try and dig up what I can. I have some mid-terms coming up though, so I'll still be a bit slow on updates.

hm so this is kind of weird, i sent my order out on 10/9, and today (10/14), i got an email saying that the order had been received and they will check the games out...and in the same email it says they verified the items and will be sending my gift card soon. last time i had to wait 4 days in between those two, so this whole transaction went surprisingly fast thus far.

That's weird because every game I've sent in to them has been rated as good unless it was sealed. They never subtracted from the amount but I was still fairly peeved that they rated games I had opened and never even played as good.

I searched the thread and came up with jack, but do they flag you at all if you do send them sealed games? I ordered 3 games from Amazon's B2G1 with credit and figured I'd submit two of those to Gazelle for ~$80 Amazon credit (taking my third game down to ~$20).
I would be fairly peeved if they quoted me as Good (I put Perfect seeing as how these will be brand new games) when the only thing I would have done between the time I got it and the time I mailed it is removed the shrink wrap.

I have sent in 7 sealed games (first 2 orders detailed on 2nd post of this thread), and I just got emails today all 7 were accepted as perfect and to expect my gift certs in 2-5 days. I am loving gazelle!

I think Gazelle gave up on their TIV's because they seem to match Amazon's 100% now. Too bad, that was a well that I made a couple of bucks off of.

well i just received my credit for my order sent out on 10/9, making this trade take a total of 11 days, slightly faster then the first oen i did which took 15.

If $66 is a massive payout, then I really should be shy about my payouts from them.

I guess my philosophy is hit it hard and fast...before they wake up and see your face.

I had 4 payouts on 10/20 if you look a lil closer ... if $220 isn't massive I will use a different adjective.

Can you use the "TWEET" and "TWEET09" codes on the same trade in order?

Since it says in the OP "no stack", what do you think?
