Trading Notes:
Items in my Collection are available for trade (unless marked 'pending out').

Disc-based games (ie. PSX/GC/PS2/XBox) may not have original cases. If original cases are important to you, please indicate that in your trade offer.

Items on my available list have not been strictly graded regarding condition (although I am in the process of updating that information to GameTZ standards). Basically, if the item works, it is listed in 'very good' condition; cart labels, disc surfaces, etc. may not be in at least 'very good' condition. Contact me for detailed condition information regarding any item. I can provide photos of offer items upon request.

Paypal: I have a personal account, so I cannot accept credit/debit card Paypal payments. Please take this into consideration if you wish to purchase items using Paypal prior to sending me an offer.

My Simple Rules™ of GameTZ Trading:

1. If you have a Bad Trader Report, I will not trade with you. Please fix it before sending me an offer.

2. If you are not a

trader or higher, I will ask you to send first.

or higher traders, or people whom I have traded with before without problems, I will send at the same time. I occasionally make exceptions to this rule, ie. if you are sending using delivery confirmation, and the delivery confirmation number can be verified on USPS.com, I will ship before receiving your part of the trade.

3. Do not send me boxed items (ie. GBA games, DVD box sets, etc) in bubble-mailers or envelopes! If you send a boxed item in something other than a box and it is damaged during shipment, I will give you a 'less-than-excellent' courtesy rating.

4. See rule #3 again. I prefer that games in jewel cases and DVD-style cases (ie. PS2 games, regular DVD movies, etc) are also sent using boxes, but I understand that not everyone has access to tons of shipping supplies (I reuse shipping boxes that are still in good condition). Bubble-mailers and padded mailers are an acceptable substitute for shipping boxes; plain manila envelopes are not.

5. I am only interested in original items (no backups, fan-subs, HK bootlegs, etc). I see enough of those types of items elsewhere (ie. Ebay). Unless stated otherwise, I am looking for US releases only (ie. no imports or stripped-down Canadian releases).

6. Check with me beforehand if you want me to be part of a three-way trade. If you don't, I will ship the package to you (so you will need to reship the package to the other trader) and dock your honesty and courtesy ratings for the trade.

7. If your item listings are not accurate (see GameTZ conditions), please update them prior to sending me an offer. I will dock your honesty rating if Items are received in worse condition than listed in the offer.

8. I ship internationally via USPS. Note: I will not falsify custom forms.

9. If you are purchasing items, insurance is recommended. If you decide not to opt for insurance, than you assume all liability for the package (and its contents) once it is in the mail; a scan of the postal receipt will be available upon request as proof of shipment.
