So this morning, I had two new trades. I accepted one, made out the envelope, and shipped it out. I didn't accept the second trade immediately, I wanted to ask the buyer about something concerning it, first.

This evening, I went to accept the trade, and started filling out the address..only to realize it was the address I had filled out this morning...oh crap...I sent the first game to the address of the guy for the second game!

....OR NOT! Through some weird, coincidental twist (at least to me, I'm still fairly new), I had two trades going simultaneously for the same person! Whew.

I don't know, maybe that's pretty common here, getting matched up with the same person for multiple games, all at once.

...has it happened to you?

It's never happened to me, but Goozex seems to be turning into a sitcom. I want to be the weird one (character)!

My first (and so far only) mistake that I've made on Goozex was with two different Mega Man GBA carts.  I got matched up with 2 new users for the games at the same time.

I somehow mixed up the games and sent them both to the wrong user.  I only ended up getting one neutral feedback, though.  The other guy didn't seem to notice and left a positive.

I felt really bad for the guy who left neutral (even though he was pretty rude with his PM's) but he turned out to be a one trade user, so I don't beat myself up over it.

That might have had something to do with his decision to not return after that initial trade.  I'd have been pretty disappointed if my very first trade had gone sour.

Could be, but I'll never know.  He never responded to my PM's. 

I offered to send him another copy of the game (bought it off of my cousin for $2) and was fully prepared to, but he never even acknowledged that I was trying to make up for my mistake.  Oh well, I tried.

Screw him, then.  You made the effort to rectify the situation. 

I'd rather have a bad trade with a user that's willing to fix it, than a decent trade with one who just doesn't give a crap one way or the other.

Never happened to me, but then again I've only sent out 7 so far.

So only the first two replies have actually addressed the OP.

But yeah, I'm guessing thats extremely rare. Maybe some of the people that make the top sellers list every month have experienced this, but even then I doubt it.

I've been matched to someone the next game after receiving feedback from them on a different game, but not at the same time, no.

I got matched to recieve 2 games at the same time from the same person.  It was 2 golden sun games though, so it made sense. ( bought them for a friend, never actaully tried the golden sun series but I heard it was really good).

Off topic:  Megaman Battle Network series was the great GBA game alive.  Specifically the 2nd.  I even had a Bass v1 chip in that and destroyed all my friends in that game for like a week until I restarted the game by accident and it Autosaved over my original gameplay.  (this was like 3rd or 4th grade.  maybe 5th, can't remember.  But still the greatest Megaman game alive.  The megaman ps1 games were pretty cool too, being Megaman Legends 1 and 2)

Yep, it's happened to me twice.

Actually, it was the same user and games, I just didn't accept to trade the first time because I wasn't sure about trading to Canada. The user is pretty well known, so I could trust him, I just didn't know how much more it would be to ship to Canada. I was just about to send both games out tomorrow in the same envelope, to be more economic.

I played the third and sixth one in that series. The third one I borrowed it from one of my friends and almost beat all of it (I was almost done but he needed it back). The sixth one I bought it at Kmart when I was on vacation visiting where I used to live (in Anaheim, California). It was on special and I had really liked the third one so I bought it. I beat the game and traded it quite a while ago. Speaking of which, I had the first one requested for a long time, and just barely got matched up a while ago. Unfortunately, that person didn't send out the game and lied about sending it out. So it looks like I'm gonna have to wait another while. As for Megaman Legends, I played the original one on the N64 (renamed Megaman 64). I just got the second one a little while ago, along with the Misadventures of Tron Bonne off of Goozex. Those two series are probably my favorite Megaman games.
