Goozex Promo: No Student Fees

zannabianca — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:00:14 GMT

Starting today, all registered members that have a ".edu" email address on file with Goozex will receive free trading through January 31, 2010. This means no trading token required to trade games or movies for all students!

We understand students across the country are over-burdened with high tuition costs, cost-of-living expenses and Holiday shopping. Often times they need to give up a large portion of their entertainment budget to keep up with raising living costs on- and off-campus. Thia "no trade fees for students" promotion intends to help students get access to more games and movies during the Holiday season.

This promotion applies to all existing and future Goozex members that register their account using a valid ".edu" email address (email address must be confirmed and account activated).

Acsguitar is a jerk or isn't a jerk YOU DECIDE!!!11

Long Story Short.

Non Responsive User but Very Active user (18 Trades received and given FEEDBACK since he accepted my trade) is supposedly sending me Borderlands. Obviously he is using the site due to his active reception of games.

No response to my PM's and this is the status of the game.

Shipped on November 12, 2009

It's not here 7 days later and the game is supposed to be coming from Texas to Colorado (Thats a 2 day trip). User will not respond at all to my PM's I have no tracking nor Confirmation of shipping.

Am I a jerk to leave a negative to get this guy to either respond or at least CONFIRM shipping. All my other games say "Confirmed Shipped" His just says Shipped.I really don't want to sit around waiting when I can jump back in the queue and get this high demand game.

Promotion: Get point bonuses for trading hot games and movies!

zannabianca — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:21:28 GMT

Goozex has launched a new special promotional campaign for the upcoming Holiday season that gives you more points for trading out new games and movies. The promotion rewards members that sell select games and movies during the first 30 days from release date. Eligible game trades receive a 200 point bonus and eligible movie trades receive a 100 point bonus.

A few more info:

The buyer pays the nominal price of the item. The point bonus is paid to the seller by Goozex.
The point bonus is awarded to the seller as soon as the trade is completed with positive feedback (or system close).
Eligible trades are initiated within the first 30 days from the release date (*) with a seller's acceptance to trade the item. Feedback may be received later, and the bonus will still be awarded as long as the trade started within the first 30-day period.

Find all eligible items by looking at the "GET BONUS POINTS" seal, or visit the page below:

List of all eligible GAMES (new ones are added regularly)

List of all eligible MOVIES (new ones are added regularly)

(*) Trades completed before the start or after the end of the promotion are not eligible for the bonus. A trade must initiate or process during the duration of the promotion to be eligible for the bonus. Goozex may suspend the promotion at any time.

The new No Student Fees promo we started today got me curious about what schools you all root for in college sports or are associated with by degree.

Here is mine:

I also root for Texas as my brother went there ages ago.

Jury Duty (the actual duty, not the Pauly Shore movie)

mhatter106 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:09:43 GMT

I went to jury duty for the first time in years this morning; the last time I was told the morning of that I wasn't needed and didn't have to report. They selected 24 of us to be considered for a 6 person jury on a civil case. I didn't get picked, and although most people don't want to get picked, I was actually kind of disappointed. Being on a jury seems like it would be an interesting experience. It seemed like a semi-interesting case too: a now out of business auto dealership versus a customer.

Anybody here ever get picked for jury duty?

Help! Need suggestion for reputable 3rd party console repair service

Mechazawa005 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:34:01 GMT

Trying to assist a friend with a faulty 60GB PS3. It's a refurbished unit bought about 2 years ago and has developed a problem reading any discs. The PS3 is far removed from the limited warranty offered from the company it was purchased through and as it was previously repaired by a 3rd party, I have doubts that Sony would even accept the unit back for servicing.

Over the last few days, I've been looking through a few websites that offer 3rd party repair for defective 360s and PS3s. I have a few options that seem they may be reputable enough and can do the repairs for about $100 -$130 with limited warranty.

Before my friend takes the plunge and gets his PS3 in the mail, I thought i'd ask if any Goozex users have had dealings with 3rd party repair sites over the internet and if anyone can suggest a reputable one.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Are the Fallout 3 Retail DLC packages tradeable?

mono_trigger — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:30:29 GMT

I did a search of the forums and didn't find this question satisfactorily answered.

Hi Guys, I was just curious if the Fallout 3 Retail DLC packages could be traded?

I know other DLC packages aren't tradeable, or require you to buy a Download code to 'Activate' the Disc.

And if they ARE tradeable, is there a requirement to have all the DLC packs before you can play the latest ones?

For example, if I wanted to play Broken Steel and Point Lookout, would I have to get The Pitt and Operation Anchorage pack first?

New Policy: No Animated Gifs in Forum Signature

Blackcoyote — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:18:44 GMT

Hey everyone,

As of today, we are updating a forum policy to not include animated gifs in your forum signature. Our thinking is that they often distract readers and sometimes drive the thread off topic. Don't stress out if you have an animated gif in your signature now. We kindly ask that you just remove it.

Starting next week, the mods will be asked to report to us anybody that has been asked to take down their animated gif and didn't do it in 24 hours. If the mods with no other option will effectively place temporary bans. We don't think that will be the case, but the rules are there now.

Thanks for your understanding!

Random Question of the Day

timpysan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:08:39 GMT

I just replied to back-to-back Facebook status updates on my sister-in-law's profile. Of course, my replies were smartass remarks, mocking her butchery of the english language. She failed to catch my intent and now I feel a little let down. What are your thoughts on waging a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent?

Video Game Survey Request

Blackcoyote — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:55:51 GMT

Hi everyone,

Wanted to post a notice about an email a few of you may receive from Goozex. We are testing a new relationship with a very reputable video game research firm that has clients with all major game publishers. For this test, we will be emailing a few members to complete a survey about an upcoming sports title. It is purely optional. I have personally taken the survey and it highlights a very specific well known game in the market.

I wanted to post a couple of comments to help with any future questions:

Why we think you would be interested? Because from what we have seen it really allows members to see some products before they are released or announced -- which is kind of cool. I also believe there can be beta testing opportunities involved, but not confirmed
We did not and will not give any private information away including name and email. If you take the survey then you can leave your info if you would like to.
If this test is successful in terms of you guys liking it then we will add an "Opt-In" check box in "my account" to ask to participate in future surveys.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

Kenny007 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:27:12 GMT

So...who's idea was it not to inform me that this movie is in theaters....having released on the 30th of October?! You guys know I <3 this movie.

I believe I'm making plans to see this tonight. Tomorrow the latest.

Unfortunately, my 2 local theaters aren't playing it, so I'll have to drive 15-20mi to the next town to see it, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Anyone see it? Anyone else surprised to hear of this? Anyone?!

Sleebs — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:15:04 GMT

Sup dudes,

So I requested a full package for the Dark Knight (Gift Box) that includes that nifty Batpod souvenir. I noticed there was only one person who was giving the full package out at the time so I immediately jumped onto it.

Well, apparently the guy wasn't ready to send it out so he left the time limit go down to zero. Oddly after, I was matched with someone else after. I was pretty happy.

As I'm currently waiting for it to show up on my door, JUST LAST NIGHT, I noticed in my request queue for the Gift Box, it has me down for DISC ONLY? Wtf?? I never requested that. In fact, the page I go to view the Dark Knight (Gift Box) has me down for "Full package". I uploaded an image to show this, grab.by/HrD As you can see, "Full Package" is highlighted and it's currently in my requests.

This is what I'm seeing in my current request queue: grab.by/HrG I .. never .. requested "Disc Only". In fact, this makes me upset because "Disc Only" means that I'm getting the regular Blu-ray disc that comes in ANY OTHER Dark Knight Blu-ray package. He's actually getting MORE points for this for no apparent reason, which is almost like tricking the system.

Sure, I should have paid more attention to my request before hand but I didn't expect the Goozex system to switch my decision from "Full Package" to "Disc Only". What a trick! Currently, the package I'm supposed to receive is coming my way shortly but I have asked for it to be cancelled and I would be willing to ship the disc back.

How did something like that happen?
