[quote name='$hady']Wow the site is absolute trash now, nothing available but bargain bin sports game and demo discs or old ass DVDs. I used um some in 07-08 then hit and miss selling high trade games I suppose till 2009 when it starting going to hell.
Don't trade your game to this joke site you'll get nothing back in time and have to buy a token after the promo ends to get something you don't want.[/QUOTE]
Goozex was really good several years back. I am not sure what happened. They were growing really really well and then it was almost like the management just did not care or have the time to care about the place.
Obviously they then duped some other company to buy them up before the entire place went to the pits. I cant imagine why another place would buy em' up unless perhaps they fudged statistics and such.
On the web webmasters must ALWAYS stay vigilant and in a mode of growth for their sites. If they dont, these days... Someone will come along and take the wind out of their sails. Just the way it is.
"Good enough" and "Succeeding" these for the past 3-5 years just doesnt cut it and any web pundit will tell a webmaster or company that. Sites either have to be in a constant mode of grow, try things, measure results etc... kinda flux or they risk opening doors for others to come in and before they know it, they are failing.
For the past several years I've done web development as I am well versed in software engineering, enterprise development, marketing etc. As of last year I'd just stopped doing high level state webs for politicians as I grew tired of that "game".
Goozex had an advantage over every game trade site going, they'd created a decent fairly well oiled and scalable machine (as its done with ASP.NET not say PHP which scales poorly). Anyways, point being, if a web operation sits back and takes reams of time patting themselves on the back about how well they have done and are doing they need always remember someone else or perhaps many are watching and ready to steal the success right from underfoot. Thus, its important to always grow a website.
