I agree that the shipping method sucks. Maybe you should encourage people to ship with the case+manual in a bubble mailer and ship Media Mail like millions of people on half.com do. I don't think people would mind paying $2.00 to ship a game as long as the game they go in return was also complete.

[quote name='pop311']1) If the game has manual and box, let the people send it with those things. CAGs, and all people like complete games more than disc only games.
2)Create another coupon for already Gooz members that only CAGs know about. Make the coupon give us 2 more transactions and 150 more points.
3) If youy want more business, make a contest that says that the person who has the most successful transactions by the end of the month(or whenever the contest ends), get a lot of free points, transactions, or free money.

Hi Pop311.
1. We know understand that some people want the complete game package (disc, manual & box). Currently, two things work against that from our perspective. First, the cost structure would be too high for us, forcing the prices to levels we're not comfortable with. The higher our prices go, the more competition we take on like gamefly, blockbuster, ebay and so on. We are really opposed to raising our price b/c that is one of our value propositions. Second, we didn't make the decision to go disc only blindly. We did a little market research at the University of Maryland and found that a good percentage were ok with just receiving discs.
So what can Goozex do now? One, we are looking into the lowest cost method available through USPS regarding media mailers. Two, we will soon have the game instructions and cheats available on Goozex. Three, we may do another survey (now with Goozex users) about what they would prefer -- but I want to avoid spamming them. Four, we may provide point or trade incentives for users to send the entire package.
2. We are planning a friend referral incentive. That was our meeting last week...
3. We thought of the exact same contest, plus a few others. Hopefully (when we have a chance to breath) you'll see a new contest. There is a lot of work to get the database to do certain promos and its on the list of things to do.
On a side note, it would really help us know you came from CAG if you say so when you register. That would allow us to target our promos better.
4. You're welcome. I hope you'll be able to trade some of your games...get points and get more games!

[quote name='megaseadramon']I agree with everything on that list. Also, you need to do something about the flakers. Make it more clear that if you put something up, you intend to trade it.[/quote]
I'm not sure how we can prevent people from flaking out on the trade. Like you, we assume every game on the system is available for trading. I'd like to hear more feedback on this, because trading between users (or giving and getting) is what will keep everyone coming back.

Sorry if I was unclear about why we recommend only disc. If we ask the sender to pay $2.00 to send out a media mailer that requires him/her to go to the post office, buy the media mailer and do the work just send out the game. We don't want that or we end up like GameTZ where you do all the work. Or, we can provide pre-paid mailers that you can use. Our costs will go up and the $1 we make in revenue gets smaller and smaller and we'll go out of business. So we would have to raise the price, and I don't want to do that if I can avoid it.
Hopefully soon I can run an survey regarding whether current Goozex users would be willing to pay higher fees for pre-paid postage to send out complete games or if they are ok with the current setup.

Goozex started its beta run about 3 and half weeks ago. In the few hundreds of trades we've done so far only 2 (including Blindstalker's) have been reported either broken or not received. I agree this is not the members fault and we do not punish the sender. Blindstalker should have received his trade credit and points back for that trade. Also, the sender should have retained the points earned in the trade. We do have, however, checks in place to help against problem senders...but none have even come close.
I think that is great suggestion to add in the website to send games in the bubble mailer. Hopefully we can get something like that on the website soon.

A bubble wrapper is about 50-70 cents at most places and media shipping is really cheap at $1-$2 so maybe you can have an option that people can either get the disk only or complete and if they choose the complete, maybe take an extra 100 points.

[quote name='cheapfrag']I had a match on Final Fantasy X for PS2. After about 5 days of no response from the seller, I went back into queue. Now I'm first in line, yet when I search "Available Now" PS2 titles, I see Final Fantasy X. Is it available or isn't it?[/quote]
Hi Cheapfrag...I just checked our database on what's going on and Final Fantasy X for PS2 is available. The way our que system works is we give the seller who is first in que to trade the game three chances to send before we move onto the next seller in line. Unfortunately, the first seller is not responding to his emails to trade Final Fantasy and that is why there is a delay. Now you have been passed onto the next seller who was notified to trade the game.
I guess this is a good reminder that Goozex is, like CAG, a gaming community. I sincerely hope that the sender agrees to send you the game soon so that he/she can get points to get other games.

I can't see! I can't see! Oh wait, I'm not blind! I'm bland!
Yes, I did get my trade credit back. The restoration of my trade credit was very quick and easy. Currently waiting, hoping for another of the same game.
May I suggest that if you still want to offer disc-only as an option, to either change the mailer or add a plastic case or both.
I've been on Netflix for years now. The design of their mailer helps protect the discs because if the envelope is dropped, the envelope tends to absorb the shock. If the disc is right against the edge of the envelope, the disc takes the damage, which is what I think happened to my game.
I also use lala -- an audio CD trading service (http://www.lala.com). Their solution is a mailer, like Netflix, but also a plastic case for the disc. It's thin and lightweight, but protects the disc. lala ships envelopes and cases to me and I place the audio CD in the protector, then in the mailer and mail it.
This obviously costs more, and they do say that they currently lose money on the trades. (But, part of the reason there is that they pay for postage.) However, the protectors do a good job of shielding the discs and they don't weigh much at all, so a disc can be shipped for 63 cents.
One other thing I like about lala's system is that users are encouraged to ship inserts and booklets, but not required.

[quote name='mcgavin27']why did you shut down my sister's account? Is it because we both had the same address?[/quote]
If you and your sister both used the same home address, then yes that is why we closed one of the accounts. Our Terms of Use states that there can only be on mailing address per user. I would like to also say that we don't believe you and some of the other people who created multiple accounts were being malicious. That is why we left alone the original account set up.

Hi BlAndstalker...
Sorry for the broken disc...it has been a very rare complaint (only 2). Before we launched we tested a lot of different mailers and in fact we weren't too impressed with protective shells. We had a few that snapped in half. After we did the math on the cost and $1 transaction, we couldn't justify our business with shells.
Good point about the disc being right up to the edge.
Lala is a great site! I have done a lot of trading on Lala and I've been impressed by the community there. They did, however, increase the pre-paid postage on all users regardless if you send the books or not and I don't think that's fair. But the members are good enough that I overlook that complaint. And like you say yourself, they are losing money on the shipping. I hope that doesn't force them to go into ad revenue because their site looks great!

Barterbee is easy to use. But it offers a different service than we do. We want to make trades easy and fast for users. That is why we fix the point value and do not allow users to set the price (like Barterbee does). Also, our current model ships only the disc to: 1) make it easy and fast and 2) make it consisent among users. You know what you get. The condition is not an issue beacuse if a game comes in bad condition, we refund the user full point value and trade credit.
That being said, if our users prefer to mail manuals and inserts, we may offer that option in the future. Goozex wants to become a community of video gamers, and be lead by its users and their preferences!

But I'm not at the "Match" stage, I'm at the "Active - first person in line" stage, yet the game is supposedly available.
I have a couple of questions:
1) when I get a match as a "buyer" and the seller doesn't respond for 5 days, are other "buyers" gettting matched for the same game to other seller? In other words, if I get a unresponsive seller, am I losing my shot at getting the game from another seller?
2) If a "seller" refuses to trade a game, is that game taken out of the database, or will it continue to show up as available? If a seller has no intention of trading a game, wouldn't it be misleading for it to continue to show up as available. I would think if a seller refuses the a trade then that game should be remove from their library.

At the very least encourage (not require) that people fold up the cover and include it in the 'high tech envelope'. This will not increase postage costs and will make the recipient a lot happier. All that would take is changing a bit of text on the website to the sellers telling them that folding up the cover is appreciated.

There should be an option to cancel out of a trade as the "buyer". I had a match for a game but was taking forever from the seller, mean while a game I really wanted was available but couldnt do it because my one free trade was hung up on a seller who wasn't selling.

Let me tackle the last few questions/comments at once.
Cheapfrag
1. There are two main reasons why a user may not be matched for a trade, although the game is available. 1) The user lacks sufficient credit (trade + points) for that game 2) user has other trades still in the "open" stage, that is awaiting other games. Based on the feedback score, there is a maximum limit to the number of open trades a user can have simultaneously.
2. Let me go into more detail about matching offers and requests. A match between a user and a seller lasts for a miximum of 24 hours. After that, the buyer is assigned to another seller. If the same seller is selected again(which has been your case 4 times in a row) for the same game, this seller has a maximum number of 3 attempts to accept the offer. Otherwise the offer is withdrawn and cannot be selected again for other matches. If a buyer gets an unresponsive seller, after 24 hours his request is re-assigned. In the worst case, after three 24 hours attempts (72 hours max) the seller is withdrawn and the buyer is re-assigned to a different seller. The entire process is transparent to the buyer, who never changes his position in the queue.
3. If you have seen the sent out screen you know the seller has three options: 1) Accept transaction (game is shipped) 2) Refuse transaction (the offer is taken out of the database) 3) Delay transaction (the offer is delayed for whatever reason and will be put back into the queue after a specific time interval -- days or weeks -- usually people select this because they want to trade the game but they haven't beaten it yet)

Yes, we can ask users to fold up the cover. The website will realistically be updated hopefully next week with user feedback. I know the "high-tech envelope" has been a joke here...and it was an inside joke with us as well...but we forget to change that before we launched...we got busted on that!

1. There are two main reasons why a user may not be matched for a trade, although the game is available. 1) The user lacks sufficient credit (trade + points) for that game 2) user has other trades still in the "open" stage, that is awaiting other games. Based on the feedback score, there is a maximum limit to the number of open trades a user can have simultaneously.
2. Let me go into more detail about matching offers and requests. A match between a user and a seller lasts for a miximum of 24 hours. After that, the buyer is assigned to another seller. If the same seller is selected again(which has been your case 4 times in a row) for the same game, this seller has a maximum number of 3 attempts to accept the offer. Otherwise the offer is withdrawn and cannot be selected again for other matches. If a buyer gets an unresponsive seller, after 24 hours his request is re-assigned. In the worst case, after three 24 hours attempts (72 hours max) the seller is withdrawn and the buyer is re-assigned to a different seller. The entire process is transparent to the buyer, who never changes his position in the queue.
3. If you have seen the sent out screen you know the seller has three options: 1) Accept transaction (game is shipped) 2) Refuse transaction (the offer is taken out of the database) 3) Delay transaction (the offer is delayed for whatever reason and will be put back into the queue after a specific time interval -- days or weeks -- usually people select this because they want to trade the game but they haven't beaten it yet)
In cases 2 & 3 the buyer is re-assigned to another seller and does not lose his/her position the queue...

[quote name='megaseadramon']There should be an option to cancel out of a trade as the "buyer". I had a match for a game but was taking forever from the seller, mean while a game I really wanted was available but couldnt do it because my one free trade was hung up on a seller who wasn't selling.[/quote]
Doh! For some reason I forgot that you can delete any of your requests before you are matched with someone. Go to "My Requests" and hit the delete button on whatever game you want.

Unfortunately, neither of those reasons is applicable in my case. I have 200 points and 1 trade. Final Fantasy X is a 150 point game. And I have no other requests/open/pending trades.

I want the option while Im matched, or at least shorten the response time of the seller, say to 2 days, and if they dont reply by then, we should be put back on the waiting list.

Exactly!
It totally sucks to get matched up with a game that you can't possibly get(seller doesn't have points, already in a transaction, whatever) and miss out on newly available games that I am first on the list for, because I'm stuck "waiting for seller".
If a seller cannot sell to me for any reason, they simply SHOULD NOT be matched up with me.

Got my game, totally scratched to hell. Looks like a pack of dogs ran over it. Not to mention the "high quality" paper envelope. Add this to the lame buyer/seller system and I am never using the site again.

Cheapfrag, I checked your personal situation. You only have one request for Final Fantasy X and are first in line, with other 4 users after you.
No matter what, you will receive the game once available and once the seller approves the transaction.
In this specific case you have been unlucky. Your request was assigned to a seller which, for 3 consecutive times, did not accept the trade. After that (72 hours), your request was put back in "Active" state, first in line, waiting for a new seller to come along.
The offer from the seller that refused to send the game has been withdrawn. That seller cannot be re-selected for another match until after they confirm they intend to send the game.
Today a new seller offered the same game, and your request was matched for a new trade. We are currently waiting for the new seller to accept the trade.
The Goozex system is designed to provide the least amount of effort from the users in managing their trades, yet make trades happen quickly and fairly. Yet, it is community-driven, and it is all users' responsibility to make it work as smoothly as possible.
Your feedback is appreciated though, becuase we may need to find a way to make sure that sellers accept the offers they make available more often.
Hope this helps.

I've had really good luck with the site so far. I really like the point system. I've had some games from older systems I've been looking to trade up for 360 titles. Been nothing but a great experience for me so far. I for one would really like to see this succeed. Great plan for a site.
Hi Goozex dude. I think it's great that you are willing to come on here and answer our questions, and take the heat!
Personally, I can understand why you are torn about the shipping issue, because I am too. On the one hand, as a seller, if I'm sending only the disc it will be a lot cheaper for me. I like that. And I like having an empty case. As an Xbox user, I like the green cases, but have some used games I bought that are in crappy cases, so I could swap them out, or use them for the discs I get from Goozex.
The idea of paying Goozex $1 for a trade is more appealing when I know my shipping cost is going to be really cheap. If it costs me $3 to ship then that $1 to Goozex starts to bother me.
Of course as a buyer, I want a mint game, complete every time. So I don't really know what to tell you there
I also wanted to comment about how you call your site a "community." In some ways you are but in some ways you really aren't and I think you are trying to have your cake and eat it too. (I have yet to complete a transaction, so if any of this is off base, just let me know.)
What I mean is, you can't see any of the other members. From what I have seen, I will have no idea who is selling to me. I don't see any "member feedback" areas, or any way to view the other members. I've only poked around at Switchdiscs.com, but I noticed that they list the member name who is offering the disc and their feedback.
I also don't see where a buyer can email a seller with a question.
If you've spent any time on this site, you know we have an active trading community. People leave feedback for each other. That gives us all a sense of safety, knowing who we are dealing with. And a sense of control. If a deal goes bad everyone can find out. Or someone joins who is up to know good, the community will police him and eventually he'll be run off.
Another way you're not a community is that you don't have a forum for your members to discuss games and trades. This would give the members a place to come together and go a long way towards creating a community.
So I'd suggest you add a forum, that will go a long way to making your site an actual community.
Now, I can guess why you don't list who is offering the discs. You want your site to be like a store. I log in, see the disc I want, click, and I get it. I don't have to read over feedback, decide which seller to buy from, and all that. It's a lot easier and faster if it's a store and I think of it as getting a disc from Goozex, and not from a member. That's great if that's your business model, but it's not really a community.
And that's why it's sort of like having your cake and eating it too. In some ways you're like a store and in some ways your like a trading community. I think you folks need to think some about which direction you really want to go in.
OK, that's my 2 cents.
(Hopefully some people will join and offer Beyond Good & Evil for Xbox one of these days...)

Hi Quercus:
Thanks for your post. You are absolutely right about the conflict between sender and receiver. I don't think I could have put it any better.
About community and forums. We are working right now on the issue of forums. We have from the start wanted to give our users the very best in forums and we are custom building it now! But it will take a little time, so in the meantime we will hopefully provide a more generic forum to give the meaning of community some real value. We are also working on other community features for Goozex that address your other concerns. Please stay tuned for that.

Well, since my first trade went okay (Morrowind, disc only), I decide to list a few of my games I don't want on the site and I paid $5 for 5 trades. Half a day later and some one requested one of my games, NBA Live 2004 for Xbox, which got me a pretty high 400 points. I actually had this game brand new/sealed still since I bought it on clearance at Gamerush, so I just shipped it out in a padded envelope still sealed. Should make whoever get it happy to get a complete/sealed game rather than a used disc-only game.
I have my second game coming to me right now, Dance Dance Revolution (the original) for PSX (200 points + $1.00). I added a whole mess of somewhat hard to find PSX games and a few PS2 games that I'm willing to live with disc-only copies of. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a case or two here and there as well.
I just noticed you need 50 trades to move up to the next level of having 2 trades at once, which seems a little unreasonable. It takes over a week to receive a game via Media Mail, and even if you somehow managed to trade 1 game a week, it would take you a year of steady trades to work yourself up to being allowed to trade 2 games at a time. A think a more realistic goal would be 10 trades to move to the next level, which would probably take about 3 months of steady trading.
I also still think that users should be able to describe the condition of the games they are offering on the site, especially if they are willing to send them with the case or manual. It would probably get more interest in the site as so many people hate disc-only games. Maybe make a separate section on the site for complete games and give an extra hundred points or something for complete vs. disc-only games to encourage people to pay the extra shipping to send the cases.

Hi Rictor:
First, thanks for starting to trade with us!
On your first point, it may be unclear, but its not 50 trades, but 50 feedback points (or 5 trades) that you need to have to go to the next trading level. You're there if you send out 4 more games.
With regard to your second point, the Goozex system doesn't discriminate people in the queue for disc condition and if they are willing to send manuals, cases, or just the disc. Whoever is first in line, will remain there unless they decide not to send the game. I am working on an alternative method that would address the concerns I've seen here and still not displace users from their order in the queue.

Thanks for replying to my post, I look forward to seeing the upgrades you mentioned.
I also like that you can search by Available Now and Requested Now, and by game system. But it's kind of hard to turn off those search selections. After you select a Genre, a game system or an item from Special Search, there is no easy way to de-select them. I clicked around for a while and discovered that you can return to the home page and it will clear your selections. You might want to mention that or add an Advanced Search screen or something. Then you could add the ability to sort by points, etc.
Also, why no handheld love? Is it that PSP and DS games won't fit in your "envelopes"? Just wondering if you plan to add them.
Also, no one has mentioned that mascot of yours. (Now we are getting to the serious issues, lol.) Is it a baby dinosaur? Is it using the, now abandoned, PS3 boomerang controller?
My only real criticism of it is that the negative space under its chin is so strong that it creates a figure-ground issue. It looks like the white space between its chin and the controller is something. My eye keeps going back and forth, from the white space to the chin. Maybe if the neck was thicker... OK, I'm sure you guys are worrying about bigger issues than that, but just wanted to toss that out there.

These guys say that the first trade is free, I think Not, you are not given any points when you register, so I can't get a game. I need 800 points to get the game I want.
@ $5 per 100 points
800 point / 5= 40 buck for the game.
I can buy it @ EB or Game Stop for that price.
Also I clicked on available now, they have games listed that are not yet released. " Gears of War"

Yah, it's not very clear about the points vs. trades thing for trading levels. That's not really the only thing that's not clear though. A vastly expanded help/FAQ section that explains the entire trading process in detail would be usefull.
I don't think you should displace the order of the queue, but like I suggested, perhaps consider a disc-only game and a complete game to be two separate entities with their own point totals. If people want to save money/points then they can get in the queue for the disc-only game, but if they want a complete game, they can get in the queue for the complete one. The complete game would cost more Goozex points, of course. I noticed you already do this with Karaoke Revolution, giving more points for the bundle (which includes the microphone) than the game alone, so the concept isn't completely alien to your site.
Basically, if I could get complete games, I'd probably be willing to do a lot more trades on your site, and I doubt I'm the only one. There's a limited number of games I'm willing to take disc-only, and once that list is gone, I won't be adding any to it. Now if you add more systems to your site, such as the cart games (Gameboy, NES, GBA, SNES, Geneis, N64, etc.) then I'd be willing to take lots of those cart-only.
Right now I believe there are around 20-30 games in existence that I'd accept disc-only. There are around 2-3,000 games in existence that I'd trade for complete. That's a lot more of my money you'd be getting.

[quote name='GunUdown']These guys say that the first trade is free, I think Not, you are not given any points when you register, so I can't get a game. I need 800 points to get the game I want.
@ $5 per 100 points
800 point / 5= 40 buck for the game.
I can buy it @ EB or Game Stop for that price.
Also I clicked on available now, they have games listed that are not yet released. " Gears of War"[/quote]
Hi GunUdown:
The CAG coupon works like this. Signup and you get 1 free trade credit. You will get an additional 2 free trades and 100 bonus points after you complete your first positive transaction as a buyer or seller.
There are two ways to get 800 points on our system. One is to pay for it. But, we would prefer that you trade your games with other users to build up to 800 points. Its not that different than going to EB and trading your games for store credit to get a better game. Except, EB doesn't give you a good value for your trade-ins.
