Comment (last update: 29-Apr-2008 8:58pm) INTERNATIONAL TRADERS : Due to the U.S. Postal Service insanely increasing their shipping rates and cutting out cheaper shipping methods on May 14, 2007, I can no longer do trades outside of the U.S. if packages I'm shipping weighs more than 1 lb. (16 oz.). A 3 lb package to Canada for example used to cost me $8-10 Global Priority now costs almost $20 and USPS only allows me to use their new service called "Priority Mail International" or pay $30 and go "Express Mail International".   Sorry you can blame the USPS for being stupid and way overcharge for shipping and cutting out all the money saving shipping methods. Heck, they don't even have shipping by boat anymore lol... |
Hi and welcome to my GameTZ page.  I'm mostly interested in Role Playing and Adventure games, but if you have any other games/DVDs, etc. in my wanted listed, feel free to make an offer. Games marked "* *" in my wanted list are my MOST wanted games. If you are selling, please state how much you're wanting for it or I most likely will decline. PLEASE DON'T OFFER SPORT GAMES EXCEPT RACING Also, I am only looking for COMPLETE games of PSX, PS2, N64, GBC, GBA, DS, PSP, NGPC and some PC games. I MAY accept some of them w/o boxes/manuals though. |
 SIMPLE RULES MOST TRADERS GO BY
- Less than send first except for trade value more than $50. Or if you have past BTRs and too many poor ratings, I ask you to send first. Sometimes I will send around the same time to  if the trade is small.
- If we traded with each other before, we send around the same time. But if it involves a high value trade, I may ask you to send first as I have been scammed by traders who decided to rip me off the 2nd time.
- You have a Bad Trader Report (BTR) , you send first NO exceptions. If you recently resolved your BTR, you still send first since those who recently resolved BTRs do not get their stars back in a 6 month period of clean/good trading.
- I will not send payment first if the monetary value is more than $30 if you have less than . Technically given the amount of trades I have earned here, Belladonna is the only person on here that has more higher feedback than me I would send 1st to.
- Please use tracking (Delivery Confirmation or tracking # provided by the shipping carrier) for trade value $5-$10 on up to save both of us a headache should the package get lost in transit. I am NOT responsible if your package gets lost. You will have to deal with the shipping carrier about that.
Each trade negotiations is on a case by case basis and I try to be flexible as much as I can. Kudos to the good and honest traders. If you have problems, then we cannot trade. Sorry you not the only one the whole wide world of item/s that you have what I'm looking for. |
I have  so I can send or receive funds if you prefer Paypal. Note: I cannot accept "credit card" or "debit card" (Paypal treats debit cards as credit cards) payments as I do not have a Premier or Business account. Payments must be either instant transfer from checking, savings account, Paypal balance or eCheck (will wait for it to clear first). Sorry for the inconvenience. |
Regarding the canceled trade with JBel4331 (Jeff Belzil)- Obviously he wanted to rip me off since he didn't want anything else other than cash. Not even money order or check, he used to accept Paypal why I agreed to trade with him. He did not tell me beforehand he only takes cash now. If I sent cash, he could've pocketed it and then claimed he never receive the cash . This is my last time I am trading with this user. Also if you read the canceled trades on HIS page, you can see he's an idiot asking those with far more trades than him to send first.
SHIPPING INFO:
 I ship within a day or two except weekends as I'm usually busy with errands. PLEASE SHIP USING USPS' DELIVERY CONFIRMATION (DC) OR ANY OTHER DELIVERY SERVICE SUCH AS UPS OR FEDEX USING TRACKING #'S. I will use Delivery Confirmation. Doesn't apply if you are from outside of United States, but trade will have to be NO more than $20 value because shipping international with tracking is expensive. Unless it is a small/very low value item like a single CD demo, cards, etc. regular shipping is fine. Packages won't get lost this way. If you prefer to ship without some sort of tracking service, I am not responsible for the delivery service in having your package mis-delivered or lost. I had this happened to me 3 times with the USPS (before Delivery Confirmation was introduced back in 1999)!!  |
Rest below is just more detail rules for the picky traders that like to know this and that. If you have time, feel free to read. 
UPDATE (Posted 6/6/2002): Because of the new increased postal rates (effective June 30, 2002 and continues to get expensive as the years go by), I can no longer afford shipping majority of the packages via Priority Mail w/DC (1lb is $4.30 now!!). I will ship majority of my packages Media Mail w/Delivery Confirmation. Or if package is 1 lbs (16 ounce) and under, 1st Class w/DC will be used. You are welcome to ship anyway you like. I do prefer you ship the same method as me so to you won't be complaining where is my package if you prefer Priority or Overnight. I'm patient, but doesn't mean I will wait over a month for your package to arrive.
ADDED: 9-17-2003
Before you trade with me, I send majority of games/items in bubble mailers! Most boxed games will be flatten properly to protect them from being creased. At times I will send in a box (mostly for bulky/odd shaped items such as controllers, rumble paks, etc.) If you are picky on conditions (like EVERY single corner of the box is not dent, blah, blah [go buy it new then, sheesh]) Please do not trade with me as I've grown tired of these type of PICKY traders that complain and whine. I'm open to negotiations and PLEASE ask (to clearify on conditions and shipping methods) before we make a pending trade!! Thanks for understanding. |
TRADING/SELLING/BUYING RULES:
 If you have a Silver , Gold , or multiple Gold  -  we can ship around the same time unless our delivery schedules can't be met (many people like me have a busy schedule), we can be a few days apart. I'll let you know and you do the same.  For larger trades (value around $50 & up, I will mostly ask you to send first. See my list of bad traders below with big amount of complete trades decided to leave by ripping off a lot of people.
Update (10/20/05): There is a new system in place now where if you have recently resolved BTRs, you won't get your star back until 3 months later (unless you get another BTR, then its another 3 months after its resolved). So if you DON'T HAVE a star by your name even if you have 200 hundred trades, I require you to send first. I may make en exception if I have traded with you before and depending how severe the trade went from your recent BTR.
If I am buying from you, I will send payment first (only on amount less than $50) if you have at least a . I MAY CONSIDER feedbacks from Ebay (at least 95% positive) or TradeGamesNow (25 positives, 0 complaints). I will be contacting you through those sites to ensure that those are your account. One time a user gave me his supposedly high feedback profile from Ebay. I contacted that user on Ebay and he replied "What is Gamez Trading Zone?". Contacted the person back who gave me the URL and never replied. I will go to lengths to ensure I don't get rip off.
My feedbacks at other sites:
Ebay: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeed...
(Only negative feedback is from seller who I first left neg. feedback and he retaliated. He is no longer a registered Ebay user.)
CD-Helper: (Just signed up so I don't have much on this one) http://www.cd-helper.com/forums/profile.php?mode=v...
If you have a BAD TRADER REPORT OR TOO MANY POOR/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS against you regardless how many trades you have, whether I am buying from you or trading with you, YOU SEND FIRST. This includes if I traded with you before. I've traded with a trader the first time, went well, but the second time I got ripped (see my BTR report on Kyle if you wish).
If you are a NON GAME TRADING ZONE MEMBER , I am willing to buy, sell, or trade with you, but YOU SEND FIRST! NO EXCEPTIONS!!
If you are uncomfortable with the rules above, let me know and we can discuss. I'm a member, so please don't ask me to send first (payment or items) unless I agree, especially those below a or a NON-MEMBER. There are others out there who have what you have. I try to be flexible as I can, but at the same time, protect myself from those who commit fraud and/or ripoffs. I'm sure you might feel the same way. Happy trading and now you can venture on to my lists.

Traders who had -  rank before deciding to go out with a bang and rip off people. Listed ones who have made themselves known (seen them around the forums often) and have 50 trades and above. Will list as I find more.
Dec. 2004 (revised 7/06) - I've been seeing a lot of former traders who have LARGE amount of completed trades to decide and leave site by ripping off people on their last few trades. I have made a list as proof what I mean. As a result, when it comes to large trades ($50 and up), I will ask you to send first unless we have traded before. BUT I will also take into consideration how our last trade/s went such as the speed of sending your side (did I have to wait a month?), courteous, how often do you reply to my e-mails on trade status, hassles, etc. Also seeing if you have PAST BTRs and evaluating your ratings. The ONLY person (according to "Person with LESS trades send first" rule) I technically send first to is belladonna as he is the ONLY trader with more trades than me. I have invested a lot of time (been here almost 10 years) in trading/selling/buying on this site to be doing something stupid as ripping people off. I have completed over 1,400 trades with over 930 different users. You can clearly see that on top of the pages you visit on my page site. I am very reasonable like if anything doesn't work out, such as you received my stuff damaged by the post office, I will gladly send your stuff back and you do the same so I can file a complaint (click on link to read more) with the US Postal Service.
NOTE: I do not want to discourage new traders to trade with highly established traders. I encourage you use your own instinct and judgement as well DOING some research such as reading their feedbacks given by other traders or from other trading site they could be on. NOT all high feedback traders are bad, real good ones have AVERAGE ratings of "Excellent" across the board and above 95% (we all can't be perfect).
You can click on their username to visit their page with the BTRs. If anyone doesn't have a BTR, he/she have cleared it but you can view their past BTRs by looking where it says "Recently Resolved BTRs" and click on "view past BTRs" link.

Subtime rate:
2-month rate: $2.50 a month/ $1.00 a week
6-month rate: $2.00 a month/ $0.50 a week
1-year rate: $1.67 a month/ $0.42 a week
3-year rate: $1.53 a month/$0.38 a week

By weekly:
$1.67/4 weeks = $0.42 per week

| I don't rate anything "mint" as I consider "mint" = "unopened". A few super light scuffs is still a game in "excellent" condition. A million light scratches would be rated "very good", you know the drill. I got tired of "picky" traders who explodes over a SINGLE super light hairline scratch or a single fingerprint. Everyone has a "different" difinition of "mint" (absoulutely like brand new [go buy it new from store to make it easier] to a few fingerprint smudges is ok). I prefer to trade with people who won't explode over such details. I examine items I trade and rate them accordingly. See my listing for ratings on conditions for all the items listed. |
My reminder. People I WILL NOT to trade with:
-AlphaEmma: Complains a lot on boxes and such. Too picky.
-Oy Ruu (gog): Values his games WAAYY too much, sends me lowball offers for my games.
-Matthew Elliott (MewTwo): Gets all antsy when I said I'm only shipping within the US because the LinkSys Wireless Access Point is heavy plus the cost of registered mail (since USPS doesn't allow us to use Delivery Confimation while Canadian Post *CAN* which is SO unfair ) is very expensive. Anything value more than $5 I usually use DC within the US and to Canada, usually $10-$15 value only option of tracking is registered mail which is $7.40 *PLUS* shipping = EXPENSIVE. Then he goes on why do I have a * gglobe*? Thats because I only trade *LIGHT* items that arn't valued more than $10 (most are CD only PC games or music CDs) which shipping is not that expensive vs. a *HEAVY* and values more than $15 like the LinkSys Wireless Access Point.
-John Payne (iohannus): Makes rude replies.
-Adam Headly (Adam4321): Asks me to send first when he had back in Sept 04 only 1 or 2 completed trades (and I have almost a 1000) and complained to Bill which I deleted the cancel trade report just to shut Adam up. |
