I've only rejected once, and that's because I didn't feel like going to the post office within the next 3 days.

I don't send games 200 points or less to the US due to shipping is over $4. I wish you could sent trade region by point  value I have sent a lot of games south but when a game is worth 100 points and it cost $4 to send it... not worth it.

I understand what you mean with #1, but when you compare the games shipped,
(Ex. I recieved a full package xbox 360 game, and the shipping the sender paid was just shy of 2.50$, but as I said I send a PC game in just the jewel case and it cost me 5$) it's just terrible value.
For them to ship to me costs nothing more than for me to ship to somewhere else in Canada, but the fact I have to pay DOUBLE THAT to send to them just makes me angry. I blame the economy.

And as for #2, ironically that only happened once, and now that game is in someones hands in Ontario somewhere. I guess that thought just popped in my head when I was writing this.

Just thoughts...

No problem, I just would hate #1 to become a habit.  A few months ago we had suspicions of some users blatantly refusing to send out of country but were more than willing to accept games from outside, being a quite unfair practice.  I don't think refusing to send a huge bundle over borders is that bad, but to refuse based on point value is a little sketchy if others (outside your country) will send the same to you.

#2 is fine if it happens once in a while, but I'm a big fan of queue management.

Other: The game has fallen to a low enough point level on Goozex that I chose to keep it rather than trade it.

1. Out of country shipping.
Seriously, shipping to Canada from USA isn't bad, but to send a PC game in just the case for 5$ is just absurd. I may actually stop shipping to the US because it's this bad.

2. I'm not done with it.
Simple enough, being a completitionist (cough cough GAMERSCORE WHORE cough) I dont like to sell games until i'm completely done with em.

1.  I'm not sure it's fair to the other trader/s that suffer from this when US residents are willing to send to you.

2.  Why isn't the title on hold in your offers list then?

Hmmm... It might be a nice feature add on Goozex to list a point threshold for shipping out of the Country (ie, only match me in X region if the point value of the game is at least 200pts).  Since shipping games is a global setting I'm guessing doominatorx6 typically doesn't mind shipping to the US - except for games where he gets less value for shipping a game than just buying the points outright with the same money.

Ooorah! I haven't shipped a game to the US that's less than 200 points. Probably won't, EVER, but that doesn't mean I'll stop sending to the US.

I like that matching option too...

Personally I would ship games even if it did cost 4 dollars. A lot of people on here complain that with shipping + confirmation + bubble mailer, that a 100 point game has no value. Which may be true but the way I see it all those 100 points add up and eventually hold some value and I only trade games I'm no longer interested in so at least if I don't make profit on it it's makin g someone else happy instead of just collecting dust in my house.
