    I'm already sitting on 300 points, and this is another 300. I stand to make some good points off of these free games.

    Do you get a trade credit for each one? Or just that first trade?

    Wait a minute, I'm not actually sure now that you mention it. I've sent out two games, and while I thought that I had two trade credits, it turns out that I only have one.

    It's all good really, as I intend to hold on to the points until I've accumulated enough for something good, but yeah, it doesn't look like you do actually get a credit for each game you send out. Doesn't make sense that it would work that way though.

    You get points for trading, but you still have to buy the credits. $1 for each credit.

    Well, I've sent out 2 games, I've got no trade credits, and I've only receiving my second now, so I think you get the one you start out with, and one for your first trade, and that's it.

    It makes sense from a business standpoint, and that's about it.

    If I'm sending out games, that should earn me trade credits. Yeah I get the points for a successful trade and that's cool, but what I'm doing when I send out the games is but one half of a trade transaction. The whole thing falls apart when you remove the other part of the equation.

    I don't like the idea that I can feel free to send games out, but if I want to request one and get it sent to me, I gotta pony up the cash. Even at a buck a trade, it seems like extortion. Especially when you consider the fact that it costs money to ship these games out. Sure that's not money that Goozex sees, but the point is that there is already cost involved in this process, and arbitrarily adding more angers the fuck out of me.

    Meh.

    They have to pay for the servers that we all trade our games on. There's some ads, but I'm sure our $1 goes to that too. Also, their slogan is 'got the game for $1'

    If you buy 5 trade credits, you can get 5 100 points games sent to you free, providing you have 500 points already.

    I knew someone would say that, I think it was an accident since I got the case and manual in excellent condition. At least I got a free DVD case, so its not a bad thing I got that. If I got arrested/fine/a letter from Goozex, now that is karma catching up on me.

    I believe that you get the points and a free credit for positive feedback. I could be wrong, but I know I only had 11 trade credits (I referred a couple of people to the site), and after sending out 9 games and recieving 1, I have 10 trade credits left (and I haven't bought any credits so far).
