About 90% of the offers I receive are declined for the following reasons, so please read:
Due to the cost of shipping overhead and a shortage of time, I only perform trades that are worth at least $15 or so, more for international trades. Also, I only send first to people who have a solid history on GTZ.

Determination of value
I trade by market value, which is taken by comparing lowest offers from Amazon and Half against median winning bids on eBay. The lowest price among these three sources is what I consider to be a fair equilibrium price: that is, the price at which the game is most liquid and can be either bought or sold with ease. Only items from reputable sellers are counted, so that lowball scams do not affect the calculation.

About me:
I am a private collector, non-smoking, and the original owner for most of the games in my collection. Nearly all of my games are in flawless, like-new condition. Unless otherwise noted, you may also assume that they are first editions complete with packaging and inserts. I have been buying and selling online for many years now through websites like ebay and half, and my profile carries a 100% rating with over 60 transactions.

I expect full disclosure of the following information when applicable. This allows me to accurately appraise the value of the items offered so that there are no surprises after the trade occurs.
 * idea * Whether the item is an original edition ("black label", etc.) or a lower-cost edition (Greatest Hits, etc.)
 * idea * For PC games, item is a value-oriented edition without a box or printed manual, etc.

An item is not acceptable to me if any of the following apply:
 * warning * Item is not in perfect working condition. This is different from flaws that are purely cosmetic. However, it is not good enough that the game "can" work, it must work correctly and consistently, e.g. if a scratch on a disc causes a delay in load times, the item is considered damaged even if the game eventually loads.
 * warning * Item is missing packaging, manuals, extras, or other content. If in doubt, please ask.
 * warning * Edition is for a region other than North America. Exceptions are noted in my listings.
