So far I did 7 transactions and all of them went through fine. However, the last two took over 2 weeks each to process.

So I emailed them about being in Hawaii and their poor choice of shipping options (Parcel / Media Mail) they told me if my order expired and they received the games they will send the games back to me. So looks like I'll have 6 games sitting in the postal system for awhile, without any means of tracking them.

The label they have print looks really weird. It seems the company pay for pastage when USPS charge them? We leave postage line empty?

I was planning on paying for 1st class w/ tracking but sice the barcode is needed and they emphasize nothing else... Im unsure how one can prove they sent the package if it does get lost/ confisgated... any thoughts on costmer service etc?

Sent a game to them and everything worked. The transaction went through a week after I sent it.

Without tracking, I just crossed my fingers and hoped they got it, which they did.

Sent a single PS3 game a little over a week ago, as my first attempt with this program, and today got a rejection e-mail.

The reason stated was 'The Disk has scratches and could not be refurbished.Companion disks have scratches.'

It will be interesting to see what I get back, because it was scratch free when I sent it. Not sure what they mean by companion discs, as this was a single disc game.

I've sent hundreds of games to Amazon, never had a rejection. Also, sent lots in to Gazelle & Toys R Us when they had trade programs, never a rejection from them either.

Yeah shit is too hit or miss. Values are decent here and there but it's not even close to guaranteed you'll get credit.

So you can't send game via media mail but you can with parcel post...? So wouldn't pArcelpost is best to ship using the initial label vs the 2nd reprint media mail label then?

You're better of marking games down to very good, since the difference is roughly a dollar on most games and you wont have to deal with it not being accepted because the case has "light to moderate wear"

Just rechecked my confirmation email and they actually upgraded a game I sent as "very good" to "like new" so I got about an extra buck.

was feeling lucky and tried these two and TIV for lor: war in the north @ $22.50 and puss in boots @ $26.50 (which REALLY blew my mind). but the lego potter/rayman origins is by far the best.

i agree with the poster above, it is much easier to list these 'very good' than 'like new' (even if they are 'brand new', to reduce the hassle).

took them two (2) + weeks to receive them, i was credited the next day (i chose the half.com certificate). the TIV for all of the above have held since july 4th.
