To make it simple, I traded Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time Disc Only in LIKE BRAND SPANKING NEW  Condition! I bought this game BRAND NEW, Played it for about an Hour and decided to trade it to a lucky user who requested it DISC ONLY. I wanted to keep my Case because I need to replace the all so Dirty/Sticker Case that I receive from GOOZERS.

In return this trader has now broken my dream of continuing my Perfect Trading Score

FML!

HAHA If I did get a neutral, that wouldn't be the right feedback left by the Buyer.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that after killing a lot of mofo's on MW2. I'm feeling a bit better about not having a perfect trading score. oh FML

Im still wondering why a perfect score means so much?

As far as I'm concerned, as long as the trader has no negatives or neutrals, it's a perfect score.  Since there are some traders who will +5 for a creased corner on the manual, +5 means nothing to me. 

Positive's a positive.  You sent what you agreed to, and it worked.  That's all I need to know.

Even then, MOST of the people who have any number of feedbacks under their belt have reasonable neutrals or negatives on their accounts.

Such as, they were busy and didn't ship on time, one guy I know has a few where he requested they give him negatives because he didn't get the game out. So on, so forth.

I have sent out 85 games and havent gotten a neutral or negative yet and I dont plan on getting either.  I got my first +5 out of the way nice and early though (on my first trade) so I never worried too much about getting a +5 just because the person woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

I was looking over the trading profile of the person who gave you the +5, and it seems that the only types of trades that get the +5 instead of +10 are those that he requested as disc only.  Maybe the person doesn't understand the concept of a disc-only trade?  

After all, crazier things have happened in this world...

Yeah, I noticed one of his trades is a disc only, and his comment is "Where's the manual?!"  Ummmm, what?

It's for cases like this that we should make comments on anything less than +10s manditory

You should send him a message asking him what was wrong with the game.  Man he leaves a lot of +5's and way too many for the disc only trades.  Its like if he requests disc only and doesnt get full package he leaves a +5.

I know a +5 is just as good as a +10, but yeah, someone needs to send the guy a message to educate him. He got exactly what he asked for, maybe he's too stupid to read the rules?

Worst thing about this is, even though a +5 is a positive, doing that screws over newer users.  I'm glad my first few +5s were not my first few trades or I would have been very irritated, mainly cause they were out of my control due to shipping problems.  But no comment +5s really suck balls.

I've given a +5 for a disc only transaction... I had to get it buffed before it would work. The fact that I got a disc that didn't work without professional consultation warranted at least some feedback like that, so I don't agree that the disc only option should not have a +5 score.
