I just think its amazing how many list from the begining are now being almost completely struck through thanks to Goozex. Just goes to show how great the Goozex system works.
Gears of war isn't going to sell. Especially mine i mean.
I'm somewhere at the end of the available list probably too.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent (360) is heading out the door... I am now officially out of games to trade (aside for the ones on hold at the moment). Those of you with games sitting in your library don't loose faith, they will eventually go :)

You'd be surprised. I was up there with Rainbow Six: Vegas when I put it up for trade. Then Vegas 2 came out and I figured that no one in their right mind would want to grab the older version of two nearly identical games. Wait it out though and eventually every bigger name game goes. Plus, you never know how many people ahead of you have flip-flopped to hold or run out of trade credits in the interim between now and when you put it up. I don't recall where I was at with Vegas, but I was far enough from position one to think that it wasn't going to get requested for a long time.
*BUMP* cuz I'm bored at work. And I like self promotion.
The majority of what I have to offer is NEVER going anywhere (excpet Fifa Street (PS2) which I am surprised I haven't gotten rid of in 4 months). I keep them listed just in case. Also since they are so low priced I keep them to Canada only cuz it's not worth to send to the US.
Disney's Hercules (PS1) - Traded 3 times total
The Journeyman Project Turbo! (PC) - never been traded
Mechwarrior 2 (PC) + Expansion Ghost Bear's Legacy (PC) - Normal game has been traded twice and i'm 23rd in line. Be mailing that out ANY day now. Expansion never been traded.
Motoracer (PC) - 0 trades
Myst (PC) - 11 trades total, 11th in line. 2 years to go.
Playstation magazine disc 76(PS2) - 1 trade
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear: Black Thorn (PC, what a mouthful) - 1 trade
Worms Blast (PC) - 2 trades.
You may have many suggestions or precise suggestions but not both.
Yep ... NBA Ballers, one of my early listings, never been traded and I've had it listed for ~2 years now ...

Of the games I have, I suppose the original Sims and Expansions are the most untradable collection in the bunch. I can't even find patches for them any more. All I get with a web search is Sims2 junk. And now I have to do one heck of a work around just to get the expansions to install. So far, all I can get loaded on my system (running WinXP Pro 64) is Sims, Livin' Large, and House Party. The rest won't even install. So much for upgrading to make my games look and play better. Now I have a 22" LCD monitor, AMD Athelon64, and 8GB of high speed RAM. And, wouldn't you know it; most of my old games won't run under the new OS, or Vista, or Ubuntu Linux. And, of course, if I try to load an older OS, it can't make full use of the current equipment.
'Ve haff vays to make you upgrade...'
'Tighten the thumbscrews a little more, Igor... but slowly... I want to see him sweat!'
'You bought it, it isn't compatible with anything, and there's not thing one you can do about it; we have your money now.'
So much for 'backward compatibility'.

I don't mind work; but I refuse to do it for a living.

Ok here is the problem with your thinking. Vista comes out, people don’t like it because its too much like XP with a little mix of Mac in it. Well think about it this way. You are given the job of creating an operating system. Now here is the stipulation. You have a few cool things that you would like to do to bring a better operating system to the market and improve your product with new technology. You design things to utilize the newest hardware and bring together a much better platform for games to be developed for. But now you have to think about backwards compatibility. So you end up throwing out a lot of progress made in the form of an operating system so that programs and games designed to work on operating systems created 8 years ago can now work with your new system. Honestly the reason why Vista wasn’t a great hit was because it had to still have a foot in the past. Its like working with an old game engine opposed to working with a new one or creating a new one of your own. The quality of the game is going to be poor because the framework used is obsolete. Now I know it’s a pain but if you want to play a game that was made for past systems then expect to have to use a past system to play it.
Now your first mistake was to go to a x64 bit OS. I too have the same few problems. But I chose x64 for a reason knowing that I would have problems.

That's funny, I thought people didn't like it because it was buggy, performed like crap, sucked resources like a pig, and tried to be Mac-like but failed in every possible way?

Was it buggy as an OS, or were people trying to use XP programs with Vista and made it buggy. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of Vista.

I just joined and have over 100 games from PS1, PS2 and Xbox that haven't been opened yet (factory sealed!!!). I bought them in the hopes of selling them on Ebay for a quick profit, but with all the competition and increasing fees along with the increase in the shipping prices, I failed miserably. Oh well, win some, lose some. A lot of people will be getting some very nice old games on here, that's for sure. ...if they sell. Hey, one can dream!
The increase in the eBay fees and all the hassles over there have made it impossible for the day to day sellers. I've really cut back on my selling-I used to use it to unload a lot of my unwanted items, including the stuff that didn't trade fast over here. Not so much.
I swear half my list is untradeable right now. I'm also first in line for about 50% of my games though, so most of my stuff should start moving fairly soon. Someone will start wanting some of those older games. You wait long enough, someone will want it for nostalgia reasons.

I read on Slashdot that the majority of the bugs with Vista were related to poorly-written drivers from vendors. nVidia was the biggest culprit. OS-related issues were the second most-common issue, but by a significant margin.
Then again, these were statistics reported by Microsoft themselves as a composite of all user-submitted bug reports, so they may have been juiced. At the same time, given the huge market penetration of nVidia and how their drivers mysteriously began to suck just prior to the Vista era, I believe it.
Every time someone suggests the trading of older games, movies, books, CDs, or sandwiches, R2K kills a baby dinosaur.
