Comment My Ebay Sales: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPIComm... I have been trading since 1995 on the Internet (Usenet and other places), and have conducted well over 150 deals on eBay since 1997, but I just recently found this place thanks to Ted Rusniak (known as "tadow" here at UGTZ). I mainly collect Atari Jaguar rarities (prototypes, development systems, one-of-a-kind things) and Import games / systems, but occasionally I'm out on the hunt for a variety of other things. My Rules of Engagement: 1) You're dealing with an adult. I expect maturity in any deal we make. 2) Please make the trade offers good, realistic offers. I don't want to trade one of my prized games for three or four lesser ones - I'd much rather get something of equal value. Also, please don't offer me something absolutely absurd like NHL '97 for my prized possessions - while it makes for an excellent laugh, it will be ignored. 3) I use eBay and several other sources to base the retail value of my games on, so I know when you're trying to pull a fast one. Not to sound pushy, but in the short time I've been here, I've heard some real weird offers - like NHL '97 for my Panzer Dragoon Saga! However, if what you're offering is something I practically can't refuse (like something rare as hell), I might sacrifice, but don't push me. ^_^ 4) As for cash, it's on a case-by-case basis unless I use the word "sale". 5) I give far more preferential treatment to people who offer things I have in my Wanted list. Meaning, if you offer me a trade for something not listed on there, and another person offers something I've got sitting in my Wanted list, the other person gets the trade by default. 6) If I'm ripped off by you, then you get a nice visit from Officer Not-So-Friendly. Simple enough. 7) I do NOT trade games that are listed as 'N/A' in my value column. These are games that are generally either listed as "Pending from ...", "Pending to ...", or are games I simply will not trade. Games I simply will not trade are only temporarily listed until I update my videogame collection's website. Trade requests for such games will be ignored. 8) Because I've been doing this for a long time (with references 10 miles long), I prefer that people I trade with send first if they have fewer trades or ratings on UGTZ. Why ratings? Because there are people on here with 10 confirmed trades, but noone's ever rated them, which doesn't help me figure out if they ripped someone off yet or not. I also require some sort of tracking system (Like USPS Delivery Confirmation) so that I can track the package myself. 9) Got a P.O. Box? Well, I refuse to trade with those people using P.O. Boxes. Too easy to scam me with. 10) I do all of the above for the people I trade with, because there's nothing I like more than making sure I have a satisfied friend and possible repeat trader! Failure to read and abide by these rules will result in laughter, deletion of trade request (if by email), and a reminder to read these rules again. That's why I have rules! My 'Value' Column Translation: My Available: 5 Stars = Good luck! It'd better be a trade I could never refuse. We're talkin' 2-for-1 to my advantage here. 4 Stars = I might make a trade for this game, if the offer is right and for something in my Wanted list. 3 Stars = Above average game. Will trade for another decent above average game. 2 Stars = Either the game is average, or I've just played it too much and want to trade it. 1 Star = The game is below average, so please take it off my hands before I burn it! N/A = Don't even bother - it's not even available! (Read the rules above for more info.) 5 Dollar Signs = This item is either a prototype, one-of-a-kind, or otherwise worth more in trade or cash than most would ever be willing to spend. You'd better have some serious firepower before you even consider asking. My Wanted: 5 Stars = I will trade just about anything (or a combo of things) for this immediately. 4 Stars = I would really, really like this game / system. Will trade nicely for it. 3 Stars = Yeah, I want it. But you probably aren't getting any of my really good items for it. 2 Stars = If I saw this game / system, I might want it. Not much of a priority, though. 1 Star = Not actively seeking it, and not a priority. Thanks for stopping by, and let the trading begin!
