Doesn't bother me. I don't really go chasing badges but it could be fun for people that want one

We're getting close to March which means 1 month away from April Fool's Day.

Who all is interested in doing a Secret Satan gift exchange this year?

If you haven't heard of it before, it's like Secret Santa except the aim is to get someone a game they will absolutely hate. Then we all play it on April 1st and share our misery (or surprise joy).

Going to put a $10 price charting value minimum like last year. In fact, last year's rules worked pretty well so I'll keep them the same:

Your game must have a minimum value of $10 based on Price charting for a game in similar condition. (If it's on the cusp, take a screenshot for proof). That makes things interesting so that we don't just buy the cheapest craptiest game in the gamestop bargain bin. Note you don't necessarily have to pay $10, that just needs to be its pricecharting value. If you have a poop game already that fits the bill, by all means feel free to use it

You can send multiple games if you want, but at least one of them must individually meet that $10 threshold. (So a $10 game plus a $2 bonus game is fine, but sending five $2 games by themselves is not).

Creativity in packaging or sending bonus items may be fun and hilarious, but is by no means required. If you do receive something creative, please take pics and share, it will be more fun for all of us.


Post a message saying you're in, or send me a PM and I'll get you on the list! If we get at least 8 participants (we had 10 last year) it's a go!

We'll get everyone assigned in the first week or so of March, and then everyone will have 2-3 weeks to find and send something to their target.

As a reminder, one of the survey questions will be whether you are uncomfortable being paired with any of the other participants. That way if there is a certain user (or multiple users) on the site, you can privately let me know. I will keep that request confidential and make sure that they won't be your Satan.

As a lot of you know I've been on a major hiatus for a variety of reasons so i'd like to address a lot of what's going on with me and the direction I'm heading.

From November - Jan I worked way too many hours for amazon sometimes 6 days a week ranging in the 60-70 hr range. Hours were long sleep was tough and i just didn't have the time to focus on much. Did a few small deals here to help guys out, but during this i also had an injury through amazon and had a lot of mental health stress going on mostly due to my certified nurse practitioner refusing to see me because i don't acknowledge him credentially as an actual psychiatrist.

So it's jan and i decided to go in get treated and get help. Doing this limited really much if any time i had to limited internet access to begin with. So when i got back home and came still dealing with the injury somewhat limited mobility and just brought on depression when im opening the site to-40-50 offers/messages. I've tried to respond somewhat, but i really need to direct my focus onto the deal with 16songs considering the nature of it before i really focus on anything large I'm more accustomed to since there's such mobility on the deal as is and we've both just been dealing with life in our own ways. Once i do I'm going to be putting a much bigger focus on selling on ebay/mercari sales and do trading casually here and there since im now constantly converting profit back into business. Also during this time i introduced a buddy of mine to some of the edible products i've been concocting he instantly fell in love with my infused cotton candy. Brought it to his cousin who owns a dispensary and now i've got more sugar floss in my life than i really want to admit as i am constantly keeping up and maintaining orders.

It's been constantly busy since then for me and i wanna apologize to all you guys and girls that have reached out during this time. I want to publicly thank my secret santa for the games (Breath of Fire Ps2 Sealed), (Castlevania Curse of Darkness PS2 Complete,) and nearly 2 months of subtime.

I want to publicly apologize to damian for out latest deal as well. As it was pretty chaotic both ways, but ultimately resolved.

I also want to publicly apologize to Lutz for the lack of rating resulting in this time on our trade, but everything was fine as items had been received both ways. I appreciate the patience.

One of my mottos when getting into this originally was being all or nothing at it. Because i know if I can give proper attention, evaluation, time, imagery, testing, cleaning and etc to ultimately deliver a product and service from a person who generally gives much more than they get out if thats where my focus is. but even if im 75% dropping it down to 50% and heck 25% just isn't doesn't cut the mustard for you or me.

Because of the direction im going I'm going to be listing a ton of titles outright FS/FT or even partial. As I'm really looking to expand my capacity product and product capabilities into new endears

I will be answering all offers and messages as best as i can as sometimes I'm cycling between multiple offers and multiple users on requested titles.

So please patient. I'm taking the whole day off tomorrow to get a really good grip on this and listing some stuff readily available in the next week or so at minimum. If you a see something on either my available/collection or most updated ( https://www.pricecharting.com/offers?seller=ddz5by... )

As a general heads up a ton of my snes and switch is currently outgoing to phil.

General things I'm looking for in trade.

Maybe a Handful of SNES CIB and N64 CIB (inquire on what you have)
SNES Trade bundles
OEM Snes Accessories/Controllers
OEM n64 controllers and expansion packs
Pokemon card bundles (please include your pricing)
PS1/PS2 Black Label CIB RPG Titles
Sega DreamCast Console/Controllers OEM
Collectors/Limited Edition items sealed open or incomplete
OEM PS1 Bult Black Label Generic Titles for (Case Swaps)
Amazon Credit/PP
Game Guides VG Condition or Better All Consoles

50% ratio trades
Bamboo Sticks (Bulk)
General Items I'll be putting up as i run through my amazon wish list.
Defected Manuals Cases/Cover Arts/Inserts
DVD Cases
Mason Jars Large/Medium Small
Resell items looking to heavily diversify inventory so if you wanna clean some space or unload some stuff I'm interested.

Sonic Superstars Microsoft Xbox Series X|S

I had a bunch to say about this, but the TLDR is that it's a solid 2D Sonic game that feels like the first two games, but is not as good as '3 & Knuckles.' I enjoyed it, especially at its $30 sale price, but it could and should be better. It controls well, but Sonic takes too long to get going from a dead stop. Some hit boxes are iffy, and the later levels trail off in quality from the first half of levels (just like 'Sonic 1' and '2'). I didn't try multiplayer nor the mini-game...things, but it's fun to play the game with Sonic in a Santa costume. This is worth it for Sonic fans, but nowhere near as good as 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder.'

I've never made a trade out of a Secret Santa before. Just seems weird and unnecessary.

I don't know. It seems kind of wrong to do a trade for these. I mean, it's a secret right. So, after you get stuff, you want to then send an offer and pretend like it was a real trade.

If Frank says I allowed it, I guess I did. I can't find where I said that. I wonder what I was thinking at the time.

I think the secret santa stuff people do here is great. I don't want to discourage that. But, I think people haven't been doing them with the offer/trade/rating system, and that's probably best. The more we abuse the trading system, the more we erode the meaning of our good trader stars.

His santa reached out to me during the week showing that hehehate did receive on the 26th.


I was waiting for hehehate to confirm this himself, but haven't heard back. He's likely still working long hours at work.

From work: pumpkin raisin bread baked personally by a coworker. It was delicious. from Corporate, a 4lb box of sampler brownies and a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses (I picked the Kahuna with Hawaii Lava lens).
From family: Christmas money, HD Tactical sunglasses x2 (it was a 2 pack box), and this toy dragon with moveable wings and mouth.
From High Roller Secret Santa: SMB movie (Seth Rogen) and SMB Wonder for the Switch.
From friend: Waffle House gift card and a bag of beef jerky

To family: Gift cards, PS4 controller and Christmas money to my nephew, and Terry's original Chocolate Oranges and buckeyes with the gift cards.

That's the issue with Christmas these days... can't really get someone something anymore so it's gotta be a gift card. I think mostly because the "Christmas List" is becoming ridiculous with expensive items....

I feel like this was the best Christmas for my kids. We spent less, reduced the number of presents, got some of the classics. They were excited with no disappointment. Probably the last "Santa" Christmas with the older 2. It was pretty great!

I finally had time to open mine today.
I got in total 4 items. Some Fallout stickers, the Last of Us necklace (will turn into an ornament) Weezer’s Blue album (vinyl) and a pretty cool Zelda ornament. I’m actually not a huge fan of Zelda but my husband loves it and claimed it. The quality on it is pretty amazing.
Thanks Santa!
