The game prices after the 50% off have gotten so far out of hand its not worth buying the games anylonger on here.

There cheaper in the stores on just about everything... They need to go through and set trinsic values for the prices of the games. So Buyers will continue to buy otherwise the site will wind up like the other trading sites.

Which they claim oh the users set the price. Well lets be clear the sellers will set a high inflated price the buyers won't pay so theyll go to the big sites that sell it cheaper hence you will have no viable service left to offer and you will go down with some of the game stores which are closing..

Who's "they?" Goozex sets the price. And from what they've said in the past, the amount of points in the system isn't factored into the algorithm. If you can find it cheaper elsewhere, by all means, buy it elsewhere--to do otherwise is simply a bad economic decision.

Well a algorithm that really determines the price would be much more used then something that artifically makes up a point total . Guarnteed there losing sales and page views day by day.

Um..... I don't see how the game price has gotten out of hand.  It's basically the same as it was before the sale.  Calm down chicken little...

Then go buy it in the store?  This game still has the great deals it had before.  And like kevlar said, you've been here 24 days.  You pick a horrible example of a game with no resale value at all, in fact, not even saying what year madden you picked, and base an argument around it.  Calm down bro.

How many shitty sites do you need with overpriced games? I dont see one deal on the hole entire site...

Everything is now based off a Ebgames price. From points to cash.

I can't makes heads nor tails of the last 2 posts...

Game point values are subject to many variables.  If you think a point value should be adjusted manually, there used to be a point suggestion thread.

Of course it's full of sellers who want point values increased, buyers wanting point value decreased.   And a few doing cash based analysis.  Not sure what happened to that thread.

And why are you only concentrating on the buying end? You sell at the same price. Let's say you buy Mass Effect 2 at 1000 points. After you're done with it, you can trade it back out for another 1000 points. Kind of a wash huh?

Go to EB Games and buy it used for $55 and then sell it back to them for $25.

Except your not usual rationality when buying at 1000 pts , when the Game your buying isnt worth $55 FOOL.

This is your warning. Stop calling other users names and keep it civil.
