-------------------------------
I'd like to welcome SaySwap as the latest member of the CAG affiliate family. Sure, we've got a trading forum right here on CAG, but if you don't mind laying out a few bucks for a trading platform with a lot more features that still maintains a sense of community, you may want to give SaySwap a chance.

Don't forget, every dollar spent puts me closer to retirement!

This thread serves a general discussion point for SaySwap. I'm sure the SaySwap team will appreciate your feedback.



How does it work?

Why Swap Games?

We have created is a web platform that enables Gamers to get video games for a combination of Purchase Points and Trading Tokens. Any games that you get are owned by you. You can keep them, or at some point send them to another gamer for new Purchase Points so you can get another game.
Most Gamers have many video games that they own but no longer play, and many games that they would like to play but do not own. We help you to get rid of the games you no longer want in exchange for receiving Purchase Points. You can get new games by transferring Purchase Points to the Gamer sending their used videogame to you. You may never have to buy a game again. You will also need to purchase a Trading Token from us to make a trade.


What are Purchase Points?

30 Purchase Points FREE to help you get started – that's a $30.00 value.

You need Purchase Points to get a game. Games require 10, 20 or 30 Purchase Points to get. You receive Purchase Points every time you mail a game. You might think of Purchase Points as a form of money. The Purchase Points value for every game has been set by us based on the current suggested retail price (SRP). The transfer of Purchase Points is made automatically between Gamers by us when you get a game or mail a game.

Here is how we determine game Purchase Point values.

• SRP of $40 or greater – 30 points
• SRP of $ 20-$39.99 – 20 points
• SRP of $19.99 or less and those games with no current SRP – 10 points.

If you need additional Purchase Points you may buy those directly from us for $1.00 per point. When you initially authenticate your registration, we will automatically give you: 30 Purchase Points FREE to help you get started – that's a $30.00 value.

What are Trading Tokens?

You need one Trading Tokens for each game you want to get. You may purchase Trading Tokens directly from us. There are no monthly fees, contracts (except for the Terms of Use), or any other costs that are paid to us.

Here are the costs for Trading Tokens

1st Token only $2.49 save 50%
––Thereafter––
Buy 1 Token $4.95
Buy 4 Tokens, get 1 free - $19.80 a 25% bonus
Buy 10 Tokens, get 5 free - $49.50 a 50% bonus

Hmm, interesting. I might give them a try when I get the chance.

...and it should be called CAGSwap instead.

Edit: Are we going to get any exclusive CAG coupon? At least for one trade token, so we can see how the service works out. If not, is it wrong to have a fellow CAG sign-up under you?

im sorry but this site has to be the worse site around.


1 i dont see anywhere it says what games they have compair to what games they dont

2. 4.95 per token is VERY VERY HIGH (highest around)

3. interface just sucks


i signed up and i got 1 token for 2.50


if any of my WANT games ship i will list a game but i dont see this site lasting sorry Cheapy but i would of teamed up with the goo...... site


interesting it says FREE SHIPPING i wonder how they will work out (media mail ? if so they i doubt i will ever use this site cause media mail just sucks LOL


anyone else think there is just way too many of these sites out there now


EDIT

seems shipping does suck

Manual Process
Collect the following items.
Disc
Instructions
Jacket Card (From under the plastic overlay)
Do not include the case or box.
Place all of this in an envelope.
Add the Mail To Address and your Return Address.
Apply the appropriate postage.
Drop in a mailbox.


I thought it said free shipping but how to ship is says APPLY postage ... Im sorry about there will be tons of broken and damage games.

Thanks, but I think I'll stick to the CAG trading forum instead.

Hmm...I'll stick to the Trading forum and/or GameTZ.

Do not include the case or box.

The shipping method is fine as long as you put it in a bubble mailerr. Other sites Ive used ship this way work out just fine without damaging the contents. Put a piece of cardboard in with it if you feel nervous.

A gigantic problem is not being able to see what games are "available" and what games aren't. It seems you have to manually look through peoples profiles.

Another problem is that there just isnt a big user base right now. I think a lot of people have signed up just to get a free game and dont plan on listing anything of their own

Dave

I bought a trade token and requested Pokemon XD.

If I eventually get it (I have no idea if it's currently available) great, if not, I'm only out $2.49, so I won't cry about it.

I would prefer Goozex though for any future trading site needs.

bad thing this is like the 3rd or 4th site that i know of

Goozex is the best
Gamershare is out there as well

both of them have a much larger database and easier interface to find games.

i doubt this site will last long unless it makes major changes (what games out there)

i will admit after being burned by gamershare i doubt i will list anything on this site until i get something (i might list 2 games tonight)

burned... what happened with gamershare??, i was thinking of joining but i would like to know what i'm up against.

btw i've used barterbee.com and it's just a dollar per trade, they have games and dvds too. it's easy to see what they have, cause everything on there is what is available. plus you can add games you want into a wish list and they email you straight away when they are available. i got 'Riviera The Promised Land' complete & Breath of Fire for GBA and a few other titles. I've also sent a lot of stuff out too and not had problems with it.

I'm sure all feedback is welcome.
Thanks guys.

nothing is shipping on my list. even though there are now 14 games that says NOW nothing ships. Hell 10 of the games said NOW for the last 5 days,


i be very careful of how many games i send there

am I reading this right??

If you listed your Get It game within 30 days of the match and its still listed, then the system will automatically request the Have It gamer to mail that game to you. We will transfer the correct amount of Purchase Points out of your account and deposit it into "Have It"s account. If your Get It listing is over 30 days old, you will receive an e-mail to double check if you still want that game


it means you got to wait 30 days for a game to get matched???

dude noone is going to wait up to 30 days to get a match of a game that is out there


Also i wonder how long it takes to get matched

I asked for a game that 5 people have in the I HAVE IT LIST

yet i havent been matched yet

I think I'll stick with Goozex for now...it's been treating me well so far.

I really don't get this. Seems to confoozled for me. I'll stick with Trading/Selling/Buying from CAG's which is free.

Agreed, rather confusing venture. I will just stick with the regular trade forums.

$5 per trade is just way too much. Why are they being so greedy? $1 a trade would be more reasonable. Yes, I know they pay shipping out of that, but it costs $2 max to ship a game. I'd rather pay shipping myself anyway so I can use Paypal shipping.

Man, your reading comprehension is lacking as usual. You don't have to wait 30 days to receive a match. What they're saying, is if it takes more than 30 days to get a match, they'll send you an e-mail to make sure you still want the game and haven't accidentally left it on your wishlist and found it elsewhere.

Also, it doesn't matter if a million people have the game you want on their "I have it list" as they have to actually agree to trade the game when the system sends them a request.

So basically it's like CAGtrading but it costs $5.00 per trade? Hmmm trade on CAG for free.......or.......pay 5.00 a trade. No Brainer.
