Hi again!

I'd like to start a new thread regarding suggested game specific point changes.  This will be the main thread that we will monitor for large point discrepancies.  A couple of points to remember are that we are in the used game space so we may not match with current retail prices and a few key variables in our points pricing come from Muze.  I'd also like a simplified template for suggesting point changes that looks like this (it doesn't have to be exact):

Game: Godfather
Goozex Points: 750
Platform: Xbox 360

Optional
Half.com: $17.50
Amazon: $25

Any point changes we may do are not immediate due to the setup of the Goozex trading system. 

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Awesome, I'm glad there's now an official thread for this. I'll kick off with 2 that have been bothering me since I started Goozex:

Game: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan AND Burn! Hot Blooded Rhythm Soul! Ouendan 2
Goozex Points: 500
Platform: Nintendo DS

Used Amazon Prices start at: $40.95
Half.com: Osu! Tatakae Ouendan is $40.88, Ouendan 2 isn't in stock.

 w00t! Now I might consider taking them off hold. Glad to see that this thread is actually going to be more than wishful thinking, like, for the most part, the last thread was. Still, without txa's awesome idea, this might not have been made. So, huzzah for txa!

 Thanks nadsofed -- will look into that today and adjust -- need to check one key variable (date) and when that threshold will come into play for this title.

 Quick question - are we supposed to list the current points value, or suggested points value in the "Goozex Points" category?

Amazon: $39.99

Game: Grandia II

Goozex Points: 100

I'd love to get both of these games, but I'm not sure anyone would list them at the current point values.

Doh!  I listed and shipped off a copy of Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1, but it was the "greatest hits" edition so I doubt it was as valuable as the prices listed above.

Thanks for the input!  Regarding Dead Rising and The Darkness -- the high point price seems to be dictated by supply & demand...in fact...Dead Rising is the #1 traded game of all time on Goozex.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Grandia II are mis-matched and I will adjust accordingly.

*******
EDIT
*******

According to the latest issue of Video Game Collector:

Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1) = $11

Grandia II (PS2) = $16

 
I will adjust Grandia II for the time being.
 

Thanks!

Game: Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Goozex Points: 850
Platform: ps3

Optional
buy.com: 59.99
Amazon: 59.99

 Why isn't this game @ 1000pts. Over 50+ request, yet still at 850, I just finished the game and want to trade it, but 850 is way to low.

Game: Bioshock Limited Edition

Goozex Points: 700
Platform: Xbox360

Optional
Gamestop (no longer available): $69.99

This edition of the game was only available through gamestop for $10 extra. The normal Bioshock goes for 1000 points yet this one still sits at 700.
