I'm always prepped for Greased Lightning.  Any titles that are close to being matched for stay locked in my work cubicle; pre packaged and tested.  My best time is within 5 minutes of the matrix matching me to it hitting a mailbox...lol.

The Excessive Taper: Puts so much tape on the package that it's near impossible to open.

That would be me, think of your worst tape incident times 5. I put tape on EVERY inch of the WHOLE package, the only way to get into it is touse scissors. I have OCD....

Ditto.  I'm more concerned about the package getting there and not being tampered with.  Ease of the other user opening said package is typically not considered.

A small amount of C4 is recommended when attempting to open one of my games.

Since I don't reuse the mailers I just cut one end off with a knife. If you have one with a sharp enough blade it'll go right through at least 10 layers of tape (even duct tape).

Hexpane:

The Hand Writer - never uses any printed labels, TO address and return address are all hand written

Oh oh thats me.  I only print a lable if it is going to the states through paypal shipping.  I am suprised games get to their destination with how bad my hand writing is.

That is impressive.  I pulled out all my discs for trade and have them in a separate section of my game room at home, but certainly not packed and ready yet.

I'm like 20% of every category posted.  For full package I always double check for disc/case/manual.  I really hope the person enjoys the game or the condition of the game, but I sometimes send late :( and have had to cancel because I listed the wrong title a few times.  (like listing XBOX but having the PS2 version of a game)

ElfShotTheFood:

The Pack Mule: Has dozens and dozens of 100-point games on his Offers list that no one wants; this is a problem because he also has many 1000-point titles on his Requests list

The Recycler: Re-uses old mailers received from prior transactions even if they are a little beat up.

The Time Traveler: Hits "Will send in 3 days" when accepting the trade but mails it out the same day so that the game ends up arriving before/on the day it's supposed to be sent.

lol, These describe me so well.

The Holder: This trader will place several games on hold "just in case" he/she may want them in the future.

The Rent to Own One: This trader will request a new game, beat it, relist it, trade it, and then request it and place it on hold until it is deemed cheap enough to add to the collection whereupon it is not likely to be played again.

The Photographer: Even with delivery confirmation, seller feels the need to photograph the game/movie before and(or) after it's been packaged as an added backup.

I'm both of those. My On Hold list is full, plus 10 or so more in my active requests. And Goozex is like my rental service. It's cheaper for me to buy a 1000 point game off here, beat it, then trade it again for the price of $3.50 instead of $8 for a rental.

The Spendthrift: Never has any spare points because he's always throwing them away on 100-point games he'll never play.

The Compulsive Refresher: As soon as he has enough points for game he obsessively starts hitting F5 on his Requests page to see what matches he gets. Often becomes upset when he gets matched for a game he doesn't really want.

i am all three of these.

XtaLarge:

The Lazy One: This guy'll hit the 'ship within 3 days' button and not actually get around to shipping your game until a week later. Apparently, this guy is so busy, he can't spare the ten minutes it would take for him to label the package and ship it on time like he said he would.

There are FAR too many of these, and these morons are really starting to negatively effect my experience with the site. They need to make those buttons binding or at least put a penalty in place if users honestly can't be bothered to send out the damn product when they said they would.

What happened to this thread?  Did we run out of types of goozex users?

Well, I just thought of one:

The Bermudan: Despite several testimonials that they are active, they don't seem to exist. Kinda like Bigfoot.

The Blatant Liar/Used Car Salesman: Will message you two days after sending the game begging for you to leave feedback because "you can trust me it's brand new" then the game you recieve in the mail has a dirty and cracked case, waterlogged manual, and a scratched disc.  Later he makes a forum thread about your lack of feedback and actually admits to being a scummy used car salesman (LOL).
