I am upset with certain traders, I have requested Wii Play with the Remote and so far every single member has tried to tell me that it does not inclued the remote.  If so... PLEASE LIST THE GAME THAT WAY!  Now I have a game on the way from Ohio with no remote that I will have to pay to ship back.

exactly, you won't have to even send it back just give the person neutral and keep it wouldn't you?

I think his main point is that he is trying to trade for the Wii remote and not the game. The game itself isn't worth the trade points that they are asking, hell I'd have never bought it if it didn't come with the controller. In my opinion neutral feedback isn't a harsh enough punishment for not sending the remote. With this game that would be akin to either not sending the game or sending a game you didn't ask for.

I'd leave negative if the remote never arrives.

Is the game playable without the remote?  If not I know what I'd be leaving for feedback.

Well... it's not playable if you don't already have a Wii remote. But then that fact applies to all video games.

I just got Prince of Persa for xbox in the mail and it didn't come with a controller. So i'm like how am I going to play this. But them i remembered i already have xbox controller. So it was all good.

But I understand why the OP would be annoyed. The only reason to get wii play is for the remote.

I don't have a Wii so I don't know what controller it would use.  All I trying to say was if you need the remote to play (and it is a different one than the Wii pack in) then the game is unplayable.

No, pretty much the whole point of Wii play is the remote (this is the regular remote that comes with the Wii). The game itself is incredibly boring and barely sells for 100 points, while with the wiimote it's like 650. I don't think neutral feedback is good enough. I'd say leave negative feedback and put as a note that the Wiimote was not recieved.

This is what is says under trading info for Wii Play (with Wii remote)

Trading instructions:

The Wii Mote must be sent if you agree to ship Full Package. Disc Only and Disc + Manual does not require the Wii Mote to be shipped.

Which is crap because there is another listing for Wii Play (game only) for 550 points less. So it is misleading like the op stated.

I don't know about it being "crap" but it sure seems like Goozex would save themselves a lot of headaches in these kind of situations where there's multiple listings (one listing that includes an accessory like the wiimote, and one listing where it's game only) to just make it so that anyone requesting/offering on the listing with the accessory can only do so as a full package trade.  Make disk+manual and disk only just unable to click on, and really put it in highlighted words that all trades for this listing should include the accessory.

Although no matter how far they go to mitigate it, trades like Wii Play and Guitar Hero are probably just going to be a source of headaches.

This is a good suggestion for improvement.

That is a stellar idea.

The link crossbow (wii) should also have the trade instruction too. I accumulated so many trade cancellation counts due to seller not knowing "Full Package" includes the zapper.

I won't add Link's Crossbow Training (or any other peripheral game) for this reason. The chances of the user knowing that he/she is supposed to send the peripheral also (where appropriate) is very low; so it's best to just not bother.
