One more question for this thread:

Say I've listed a game I and trading away as Full Package, and the system matches me up with a user who requested "Disc Only."

With the user's permission and agreement, can I send the game as disc only? 

I ask this basically for clarification purposes.  In the case of a PC game, it's easier (and cheaper) to slip CD-Rom's and such into a bubble mailer than to get a box to ship a full package.

Thanks for all the help!

If he requested disc only you won't even need to ask him. Try to package it well though...

I find it funny how I will get a game that has like 30 active requests and I get it right away as there are disc only copies readily available and all the people requesting it miss out on it because it doesn't come with a case and manual. I'd rather get the game 3 months faster even if it means no case, and some of the time it even comes full package so it's win/win for me.

Actually, what happens is that you won't know if you've been matched up with someone who was requesting full package, disc + manual, or disc only. I know this because I once offered up a game as full package. I had accepted it, and went to go look for it and found out I was missing the manual. I tried to message the buyer, but it was pretty much the last minute (I had to send out the game that day), so I cancelled it and put it up again as disc only. I then got matched up with the same person as before. So, the point is that you can't tell exactly what the buyer requested when you're sending out a "full package" game (unless you know for sure that there were only people requested one option or the other). Only way to truly know is to message them.
