I probably would to be honest. But like someone mentioned, if the game you were actually supposed to send me is all fucked up and unsatisfactory, no matter how awesome the freebie is, you're getting a +5 (assuming it's complete. Smile

Interesting.  Mind if I ask why?

  I missed out on a lot of PS1/PS2 games when I was busy playing only MMOs.  So I  pick up stuff like Shadow Hearts, Persona etc.. and try to find time to play them now that I've sworn off MMOs.

I did this before, no tip but Karma came around and I got tipped for a used game.

If the games worth nothing, why not make someones day?

Interesting comments. Its funny that some people are annoyed at my intentions, like I'm trying to swindle buyers. You would be getting a free game without paying an extra trade token and under no obligation or solicitation to compensate me. I think its reasonable to hope that people who are happy with the bonus will reward me with a tip. I don't expect everyone will tip and wouldn't blame them if they didn't. I would personally only tip if I liked the game and if the seller didn't ask for one.

Despite how I worded my original post, I'm really just looking to get rid of a bunch of games that are just collecting dust which someone else might enjoy. I don't expect many people will tip as these games are, after all, untradeable for one reason or another. I like the idea of PMing the buyer with a list of titles to choose from, but worry this may take away from the surprise and make them feel obligated to tip. I may just look at their trading history to make sure I don't send them something they've already played and to see what genres they like.

In case you're interested, here's a list of the PS2 games I'll be giving away starting with my next full package PS2 trade. They are all in great condition, most of them polished. You may disagree that some of these are untradeable but most of them are Disc Only and thus much harder to get rid of. Anyway, I will hold back the least untradeable games to see if they trade before I give the rest away.

Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
ATV Offroad Fury
Big Mutha Truckers
Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore
Dragon Ball Z Budokai
Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3
Enter the Matrix
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Midnight Club: Street Racing
NBA Ballers
NBA Live 08
NBA Street
NBA Street Vol. 2
NCAA Football 07
Oni
Outlaw Tennis
Rebel Raiders: Operation NightHawk
Shrek the Third
SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man: The Movie
Swing Away Golf

Another thing, you would have to be careful which games you send out, like a Rated M game to someone who is not supposed to have those...

You can't really control that.. You have no idea whether the primary game you're trading is within that person's game rating to begin with.

For me it would all depend on the game that you sent me, as long as it looked like it might be a little fun to play around with you'd get a tip.

 

As for the rating, that would be quite easy. All the OP would have to do is make sure that the rating on the free game he sends is as at the same level or lower than the one requested. So if the user requested an M game then you know it will be safe to send an M game to them. Also plenty of people keep their ages visible (such as myself) so he could tell that way too.

If you sent me Hitman 2 or Oni for free I would definitely tip you .....

 Sorry no tip for DBZ or AceCombat because those are essentially garbage lol

it really depends if the game is of any use to me.  I wouldn't tip for getting a game that I know I wont play. 

It would be cool to receive something free that you want though and I definitely would tip for it.
