Goozex.com

Hay guise,

Happy Valentine's Day! Well, this site I've been a member of for over a year, so I can attest to its awesomeness. The game trading site, goozex, lets you trade games directly to whoever wants to buy your game, instead of selling it at some game store. Because of this, you get more money back than from selling it any any used game store.

The site uses a point system and a simple feedback system. Things are really smooth, and the only fees you pay are shipping if you're the one sending the game, and a $1 trade credit if you're the one receiving the game.

So let's do some quick math. Say you wanted to sell 4 games that were currently listing in a retail store for $30. Gamestop has an average trade-in value of about half that of retail, so this would give you 60 dollars to buy that brand new super-popular game that you have been waiting for forever. Alternatively, you could trade these games on goozex, and get the equivalent of about 120 dollars in points. Taking away shipping fees and trade credit fees, you have 105 bucks' worth of points still available to spend, with $45 saved.

I don't see how any gamer could pass this up. I've saved so much money, and the prices are sometimes even lower than retail, so I've been sometimes buying games off of goozex and selling them on eBay for a profit.

Sign up under me here, and we'll both get a free 100 points and 1 trade credit (which is basically 1 free 100 point game and is worth 6 dollars) once you send out a game and earn positive feedback. Happy gaming!
