I seem to have run into a glut of people wanting concealed cash to be sent to them. While I do not necessarily mind it coming to me in small increments, I would like to NOT do this whenever possible. If you need something instant, I do not mind going to get a money order, or if you want something that doesn't need a bank trip, I can do prepaid cards. Remember, there's usually some fees on this, and it's locked into fixed amounts ($25, $50, $100), so I'm going to need to make the trade work to these amounts plus the fees.

If you need it bad enough, I'm sure we can make it so.

My life might also be getting a bit more crazy this next couple of weeks. If I am slow on response, I am sorry, I do intend to keep checking the site consistently and keep trading, it'll be a nice break from real life.

I am now triple-star!!! Thanks everyone!

I am now fully invested in high definition movies owning a HD-DVD drive and a Blu-Ray drive! I would not mind trading for or buying some movies ... HD-DVD would need to be under $10, and Blu-Ray around the $10 mark. I'm also looking to begin working in the rental thread and wouldn't mind swapping movies in a "rent" format.

Everyone else always seems to post their rules for what and how they trade, I thought I would put together a small list of those rules for myself too. The common sense rules will of course apply, but hopefully this will guide people in deciding to trade with me or not.

1) Communication Is King - I know from now trying to build BACK my offer time that communicating means everything, and it means everything in the trade process. 95% of all trades I've done have gone perfectly. Occasionally, one doesn't (sometimes my fault, sometimes not), and communicating will almost always fix it. If you need another day or two, or if you haven't sent, just tell me. I trust that you will come through but that honesty really matters.

2) Value Trading - I tend to trade items based on perceived value and try to keep trades fairly even. The items I really want to play will be hard to get me to trade, but I also have no problem trading newer items when if the value is slightly in my favor. Hey, I've got a crap ton of games, I can always go BACK and play something. :)

3) Ansy Sending - Sometimes, I will send first on small items regardless of what we agree on here. Hey, it's 5 bucks, I trust you'll be straight up and get your side out with the price not being really high. I also tend not to use delivery confirmation on cheaper items. I've got faith the Post Office is going to deliver a five dollar item and faith you will be trustful that it works the way you need it to.

4) Offers Win / Counter-Offers - I will check offers before I check forum posts. Feel free and bump a fourm topic if you have interest in something, but always send offers too. If you don't like an offer I send you but you are interested too, don't just decline it, feel free to counter. I will sometimes even send an offer with the idea in mind that you will counter, just not sure where your mind or interest level is.

5) Expired Offers Suck! - I get that a lot of people can't check the site all the time, but I use the default three days for expiration. Don't let an offer sit and just expire, especially after I do the work of sending you pictures or giving you a ton of information. Do me the common courtesy of accepting OR declining, knowing either way is far better than being stuck in limbo. My offer time response has suffered from this when I was NOT active on GameTZ, so know that I know that it sucks now too.

This is the part of the equation where most people list their favorite traders or traders that suck. Sure, there's people that fall on both lists for me, but I'll let my ratings of others do the talking, that's what it's there for. Good traders will always enjoy wonderful ratings. Those that don't? Sorry 'bout your luck.

My current preference as of today is more to sell. I am specifically pursuing things on my Want List, and as you can see, DDR / Karaoke Revolution has just become something I'd like to get my hands on. If you have any of this, do let me know. I'm also looking for 2K8 sports games on the 360 or Madden 08 ... but as these are sports games, I'm not going to go out of my way to offer, the deal has to be good since values are always plummeting.
