The Official ILG Game Trade Thread: US edition

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I did this once before over at Monkeyfilter and it worked like a dream.

Here's my thinking:

1) Swaps must be within the same country, due to region copy protection.

2) Swaps should be between folks who promise to mail on a SPECIFIC date (i.e. we BOTH mail our stuff out on Monday, October 28th), thus preventing shrugs of "Well, I got MY game... I'll mail out yours in awhile."

3) Interested swappers should list swappable games on this post. Once you've posted a list of what you have to trade, you can make offers; NOT before.

4) No cash offers, no multiple games for one game, no begging for freebies. Simple one to one game swapping (unless someone feels like throwing in bonus games as a nicety).

5) Cross platform trading is just fine (i.e. X-Box for SNES or PS2 for Gamecube or PC for Mac) if both parties are in agreement on the trade.

6) Trade working games only (duh) and list if you have the book and original box.

7) You pay for your own shipping.

8) NO COPIED GAMES. Originals only.

9) Be nice, be fair, be honest... or get called out for a serious beating.

Feel free to start a UK edition if ya'll want to.

Who wants to start?

why book and original box?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

(just cuz those are pretty much the first things i lose)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

(not that i'm implying that i eventually lose the game itself)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

(which i do)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

Just state if they come with the game s1ocki."
It's not conditional, just worth noting.

Incidentally, looking back at that MoFi thread reminded me that I have installed Warcraft III and the sequel on my computer... and never got around to playing it! I just checked and it's SITTING ON MY HARD DRIVE.
I remember getting it, installing it and then moving and it just slipped my mind till now.
Like I found a lost Christmas present behind the couch.

You do? Me too! We should get together sometime.

party@!

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:46 (twenty years ago)

at any rate, i don't have much to trade any more. Most of my PC games were sold to fund a move across the country.

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 13 October 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

i'm from canada, but i'd do this. i'd especially do this if it were a temporary thing, like a "mail thme back in 2 months" kind of thing. a lot fo my games i love too hard to give up forever, or i spent way too long trying to get them.

Goozex seems to be the CAG standard, though I haven't tried it myself. Points system is a little weird too, but apparently you can do well if you use their specials or whatnot.

I'm looking at a portable system since I'll start traveling soon. Should I got with a DSI XL or a psp? Which model of psp?

― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Monday, 18 April 2011 21:36 (fifteen years ago)

why not 3DS? if you go with PSP, get a 2000, they're the ones still hackable i believe

― Nhex, Monday, 18 April 2011 21:37 (fifteen years ago)

PSP is hella cheap and the games (especially used) are hella cheap... if you're into JRPGs it's a slam dunk

― My bad Van Buren! (forksclovetofu), Monday, 18 April 2011 21:38 (fifteen years ago)

3ds is too new and too gimmicky. I want a decent hackable psp, and/or a DSi xl that'll run a flash cart

― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Monday, 18 April 2011 22:00 (fifteen years ago)
