Why'd MK3 for PC still 400 points?  I'd suggest something closer to 250.

I could be wrong, but isn't the point of Goozex to retain the value of your games?? as apposed to cheapening them along with market value??   I don't mind "paying" slightly more with points because.....DUN DUN DUN.....POINTS AREN'T MONEY. 

 

You will probably find no love on this thread.

I'm just sayin is all.   I may be alone,  but I had to put this out there.

Mirrors Edge appears to have dropped to $40 everywhere (including the EA online store).

Should be lower than 1000 points.

LOL The demand  for the 360 is still high. Think about it, if the pts dropped  you wont be getting it sooner.

Game: The Bourne Conspiracy (Xbox 360)

Goozex Points: 800 (demand is currently at 0 for the game, with supply at around 10 copies)
Platform: Xbox 360

Optional
Half.com: 19.00

Related note - I think the automatic supply and demand controls are WAY out of whack.  I've seen games with no demand and huge supply sit at high point values for weeks, even months.  If there's 20 copies of a game that nobody wants, it needs to drop a lot faster in price.  Isn't THAT what differentiates goozex from retail?  Actual supply and demand, not artifically manipulated/priced S&D?

GOTY Oblivion for 360 needs a good price cut.  $30 new, $25 used.  Still 1000 points.  PS3 version is only 700ish.  PC is under 500.  16 ready offers to ship out full package, no takers.

Suggested price: 550-600

Company of Heroes Gold (original + expansion) costs 500 points, but the Original costs 350 points and the Expansion costs 400 for a grand total of 750 points.

So if I were to get a COH Gold from Goozex and list the original and the expansion seperately as disc-only, I could make 250 points.

Gold/collector's editions need a sweeping review to make sure individual game prices are kept in line with the compilation packages.

Game: Civilization Revolution
Goozex Points: 1,000
Platform: Xbox 360

Half.com: $28.00
NewEgg: $36.99
Amazon: $36.99

The PS3 version of the game is marked as 850 Goozex Points, and while I understand that there is more demand for the 360 version than the PS3 version, there's also a LOT more supply.  The game has been out long enough that most brick and mortar stores like Best Buy and Target don't even bother carrying it (in my area, at least).

I think the 360 version is in need of a price drop down to at least the 850 GP that the PS3 version is going for, though perhaps both versions could do with going a little bit lower, down to 800 GP.  Either of those seem a bit more fair than a full 1,000 points.

Prince of Persia for 360 is 1000 pts, but the Limited Edition is only 950.

Why would the LE version of a game ever be worth less than the normal version? That just doesn't make sense.

Gladius for Gamecube

Current points: 350

Gladius for xbox and ps2: 150 points

No trades going on and only some available

Requested points it changes to: 200/250

Reason:  Gamestop has the other 2 for $7.50, and the gamecube version is $12.50

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition PS#

Goozex: 800 points= $40

Amazon and Bestbuy: New $29.99

The price should at least go down to 600 points. I say about 500 though.

There are 23 active requests for Oblivion Game of the Year for PS3.   That's MORE than enough to take up the current supply of 10, leaving 13 people to wait in the queue until more become available.   

There's no compelling reason to lower the price for this until people stop asking for the game at 800 points.   It's just a matter of these active requests to cycle through thir restrictions before the supply is eaten up.

Right.... So if you're selling it, anywhere you sell it's gonna give you a lower price than what you bought it for. For example...

GameStop Selling Price: $25

GameStop Buy-Back Price: $6.25

OR YOU COULD

Goozex Points: 750=$15

So if you're selling, you get about $9 more, and if you're buying, it's a $10 discount!

IT'S THE BEAUTY OF GOOZEX!

Wrong. It's $16.

Every point is worth 2 cents.
