I saw 
Rango available for 400 points so I figured I might as well since I haven't had any matches in quite a while and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, not to mention it was the full package. To my surprise, the trade went through and was confirmed within the hour. Pretty happy with it considering I didn't even have the game on my requests.

[quote name='encendido5']After not getting matched for a long time, I've gotten matched for 3 ps3 games in the past couple of weeks. Now I'm down to 1000 points and considering getting more.[/QUOTE]
It seems like getting matched is easy, but actually getting your item has difficult. I got matched for 3 items recently too and here's what happened:
1) Received it fine, no issue.
2) Received a disc+case as full package. Seller (who had two feedback) claimed this was what he's supposed to do and challenged me to give him a neg if I felt otherwise. I left him a neg (stating that he was the one who asked me to) and after that, he backed off and asked I return the game (which I did at my expense since he's likely going to be a dick about it).
3) Another new user but with no feedback. There's 7 days left, he never confirmed shipment and I still haven't received. He hasn't responded to any of my messages either. He's in the same state as me so it shouldn't take more than a few days to receive...

Ah... Well I got the first one in perfect condition and the other two have been confirmed shipped with tracking numbers so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

A negative wouldn't have stuck for that trade anyway, you should have left neutral.

So I received the other two games, both in perfect condition but one was missing the manual. I left him a neutral and he was pretty apologetic about it. Oh well... I have Arkham asylum GOTY coming in next.
I'm down to 450 points now and my options are pretty limited so I might just throw in a couple.

Professional troll at work, do not disturb.
He's just hoping Goozex will fail so he can jump in the thread and say "Ha! See, I told all of you years ago it would fail and I'm right!"
What he chose not to mention is that the site is still about 600-700 trades above where it was before the Yahoo article went up. It's pretty pathetic when someone waits with bated breath just to have their so-called moment. Just do what I did, put him on your ignore list.

I'm still trying to cash out my last 200 points. I get two emails from Goozex today. One, that I was passed up for a trade for Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions for Wii since I was short 50 points (it was 250). Then I get another email that Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions for Wii has now dropped to 200 points. Great. The wait continues...
If Goozex is dieing, it is sure making a graceful exit. I've been getting loads of great PC trades over the last month. If all the doomsayers don't want to be a part of the site, that's fine. It leaves more games open for the rest of us to grab.
[quote name='neocisco']Active trades jumped up by 100 since yesterday. Ebb and flow.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it's not dying.
May not be at the level of the so-called glory days I missed, but I haven't traded and gotten more stuff anywhere else for less money spent.
Granted, I've got nothing coming in at the moment, but that's deliberate - gives me a little time to work on my backlog, let some of the point values go down on some of my wants, and then take some things off Hold and be bathed in more games.
Just wished I'd known about it earlier - I'd have saved a crapload of cash.

Is there any way to get shipping reimbursed from Goozex for receiving a bootleg game? I'm seriously 
ing tired of having to bare the burden of return shipping because the sellers are Goozex are ing idiots.
I filed a dispute and the seller is saying to return the game, at my expense of course. What if I escalate it?

If it is truly a bootleg either a) have the seller pay for return shipping or b) if the seller refuses then escalate the trade to goozex and they will tell you to ship them the game. After they've received the bootleg copy they will reimburse your points and shipping costs

What does Goozex do once they confirm that it's a bootleg (it's a clear bootleg, no question about it)? Will the seller get the game back or will Goozex keep/dispose of it? It sounds like the seller knew this was a bootleg and tried to see if he could get anything for it.
I don't wanna send it back to Goozex and have him get it anyway.

Do not return the game to the seller. They'll just send it to somebody else.
Goozex takes the trading of pirated games seriously. Leave negative feedback, choose the "Illegal or Pirated Copy" option, and appreciate the sense of justice when you see the seller has been docked 150 feedback points.
Goozex will probably have you send it to them, but I doubt they'd return it to the buyer since it's illegal to own.

Once you leave a negative, Goozex will take 1 - 3 months to verify and close the dispute. When I got a bootleg it took a month to get the dispute to the point where they asked me to mail it to them and then after that it took two months to finally verify and close the dispute. The downside was that they gave me my points back and reverted his feedback to positive (and allowed him to keep points). It seemed as if they didn't even verify the game - just waited a long time and then closed it to get it out of the way.
Two things suck about Goozex: the dispute process and the damned higher-than-thou community they have on their forums. The trades I get from their are so good, though, that I can't help but ignore those things.

And I think shipping costs are reimbursed in the form of trade tokens, not $$.

So I just got the newsletter and look what it says for Arkham City:
1000 points is equal to $50
Now all those Goozex forum dbags that say "1000 points isn't $50" will hopefully shut up. Goozex themselves say it is. The newsletter even mentions it for selling games in, not buying points, which is the main argument people make.

CAG is nothing like Goozex. Goozex is like the wild west where a few users, who have next to no affiliation with Goozex as a corporation, have taken it upon themselves to become sheriffs and police the site making up rules as they see fit.
Most of the "rules" there were put in place by people who don't have any official say to begin with, yet they act like their word is law. For example, users (not Goozex itself) made up the asinine rule that a Collector's Edition of a game can not be traded in any way, shape, or form if it is missing the bonus discs - it can't even be traded as a disc only standard edition despite the content on the disc being completely identical. If you see logic in that rule, I truly question your ability to think reasonably.
It's also an incredibly tight knit and closed community with the same 30 posters appearing in nearly every thread. It doesn't exactly feel comforting, especially when those 30 people have an insatiable superiority complex, refusing to even consider listening to anything that differs from thier singular hive-mind opinion.
Its just very apparent on those forums that if you have a differing opinion you will be attacked and you will be made to feel as unwelcome as possible. As a result I stick to the trading side of the site, something I'm sure that you and your 29 fellow posters appreciate.

That's not true at all. For one thing, forum posters don't make "rules", another thing is that Goozex confirmed themselves that all discs need to be included in disc-only trades (including soundtracks, etc.).

That's not the issue I was talking about - I'm moreso talking about something like trading a Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition without the DVD as a disc only standard edition (which I did). The content on the disc is the exact same; however, the art on the disc is different. Goozex users (read: not Goozex corporate) deemed this negative worthy. I'm not bitter about that at all, don't get me wrong - it's just that when I presented my case for why that should be a reasonable trade to make I got simultanously slammed by every member of Goozex's high council without even a moment's consideration for my argument. It just felt incredibly hostile - especially when there was no official ruling on the situation to begin with.

Umm, any disc artwork variation is negative worthy, and goozex does enforce this. But please, continue with your thoughts on the big bag forum members somehow sneaking into the goozex headquarters and changing the feedback to their will.

Feel free to point me to that in the official FAQ (you won't find it).
Once again, I'm not bitter and I didn't say the forum members were bending feedback to their will. The situation I mentioned is functionally identical to trading either a Greatest Hits or Black Label PS1 game under the same category - different cover art, same game - yet that warrants a positive. I already know where the debate turns from here, "different SKU, different listing, etc." Whatever your argument, there's absolutely no logical reason why a disc only Collector's Edition is untradeable and I implore you to convince me otherwise (in a non-hostile manner).

There's nothing hostile about it. My reply to you was just a exaggerated claim just as much as yours is. You seem to think that goozex is magically ran by the La-Li-Lu-Li-Lo of forum members that secretly makes up rules behind closed doors. The goozex team treats all games as they should come in retail, and if you buy a collector's edition, it should come as is retail, and that's not the standard edition. Its the same as if you have a game with a soundtrack, it requires all the discs. Same with coverart. And the mass effect disc you were selling had different cover art.
Just admit why you are mad (and yes, you are still upset about it, or you wouldn't keep bringing it up). You tried to trade out your collector's edition discs as standard cause the standard edition had 200 bonus point trade in. You were trying to game the system, and you got caught, plain and simple. Don't try to turn your greed into hate.
Also, goozex is very bad about updating the FAQ or even putting it in idiot terms. So yes, it is a grey area in terms of that, but as I said above, they do require games to be like they were at retail, so that covers alternate cases, disc artwork, etc.

That is hostile, as it is a personal attack against me. That same hostility is present in every single Goozex help thread where someone presents an opinion that differs from you and the other frequent posters. The single fact that you can't even admit there is a shred of merit in my side of the argument substantiates that.
If a situation is not covered in the official FAQ and you or your other posters claim to know what action that situation requires - that is making up rules. There's no other way to slice it.
Let me ask you this: if a disc has so many stickers on it that you can't see the artwork beneath it (the game runs fine) - is that worthy of a negative feedback? If so, why? The game works, it is functional, and NOTHING in the Goozex FAQ covers the situation. If you say "No, that's fine." You're basically saying I could've traded the ME2 CE with stickers covering the art and gotten a positive - if you say no, you're making up rules.
At the end of the day, though, arguing and debating on the internet is stupid (and makes everyone involved look stupid, myself included). There is a reason I avoid the Goozex forums and always will.

Let me ask you this: if a disc has so many stickers on it that you can't see the artwork beneath it (the game runs fine) - is that worthy of a negative feedback? If so, why? The game works, it is functional, and NOTHING in the Goozex FAQ covers the situation. If you say "No, that's fine." You're basically saying I could've traded the ME2 CE with stickers covering the art and gotten a positive - if you say no, you're making up rules.
At the end of the day, though, arguing and debating on the internet is stupid (and makes everyone involved look stupid, myself included). There is a reason I avoid the Goozex forums and always will.

Actually, no, it is stated in the FAQ about stickers not being allowed on the discs, especially rental stickers that are thick and offset the balance of the discs and how they rotate. But I guess you missed that part...
And I do love how you refer to me as "you and your posters", like I'm an official goozex rep or part of the "goozex mafia" you seem to speak of. I'm just pointing out how wrong you are, and you are in defense mode. I mainly just point out facts here cause yes, I do use goozex, and it has saved me a crap ton of money, and I abide by the rules that the goozex team (note: not the forum members) go by.
Also, thanks for not denying that you were basically gaming the system and got caught.

Replace stickers with anything else that could obscure the artwork (marker, white out, etc.) and then answer my original question. Stickers were an admittedly bad choice.

Anytime there is a "grey area" issue, the users on the forums come up with a "consensus" based on previous cases (which are in turn based on previous consensuses). It's like you guys are the Goozex lawyers or something.
On that note, I say you guys because you are one of the 30 aforementioned people who is sure to be found in nearly any given thread on the Goozex forums. Although there is definitely people who appear far more often than you.
Regardless, I'm not going to change anyone's opinion on anything by arguing on the internet. It's stupid. So I'm seriously just going to back away and bow out and I'm sure the other people reading this thread will appreciate that.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but giving someone a negative because you received a disc with collector's edition art on it is ing lame.

I'm with this guy. As long as the game plays perfectly and everything else was complete, I don't see the big deal. How often do you really look at the disc anyway? Shouldn't it be spending more time in the disc tray?

There are a few people that request certain versions to complete their version of the game. If they needed a non-collector's edition disc and received a collector's edition disc, that kind of sucks. Yes, I understand that, hey the game works, that should be great, but the product is not the same as they requested.
If people like to call these people anal, I implore you to look at the debate between greatest/platinum hits vs black label games. People want what they want.

this sounds a lot like a trade I received 2 years ago.
wait, it is a trade I received 2 years ago (to the day).
Did I ask the opinion of 2 different moderators before leaving feedback? yup. did they both say it was negative worthy? yup. Was the trade disputed by doomstink so the G-team could rule on it? nope. Did I expect it to get disputed? yup and said that in a PM. was there a suspicious number of accounts with very low post counts on the goozex forums trying to crucify me? yup.
Most importantly, did Doomstink get his game back? yes as soon as he asked for it instead of saying i stole it.
The only reason I wanted the game in the first place was because it was when goozex was giving out 200 points for trading in a new game within 30 days of release. (Effectively 200 points for a token (basically free through various promos) and shipping ($2-ish) if you got a good enough spot on release night. Got like 2000 points that way) I really didn't want to get stuck with something I couldn't use (I didn't own a 360 then) and possibly couldn't trade (possible negatives for wrong product if shipped as regular edition and incomplete if shipped as collector's edition).
Anyways, back to lurking this thread.

Ok, I'm on the road to recovery... maybe. I got a near mint copy of Final Doom recently and just got matched for Oracle of Ages. I already talked to the guy and he said it was complete but I'm just hoping it's in good shape (though it'll likely be sent in a bubble mailer and get crushed).
Overall though, trades have leveled back down to the 2000 range. I was hoping it would stay at ~2500.
