There is far too much whining and complaining here in the forums, especially in light of how great of a service Goozex is and how wonderful of a trading community that we have here. So I was wondering if you all would post your latest Tip moment, a game trade that made you smile like the Joker.
Received PS2 Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection from a new user. It was his first trade out, so you can imagine my anxiety given its size and the fact that this user had never mailed a game out. Yet, I remained patient. The game arrived packed well, and everything within the slipcover is in pristine and never touched condition. Very pleased, to say the least.

Haven't left a tip yet, only time I received a sealed game it took it 19 days to get to me and he sent it I believe it was postmarked 9 days after he said he shipped it, most games I receive now are newer games and have become strapped on points so can;t really leave them, if I have 20,000 points tho I would leave them every trade lol
Received BUZZ! the trivia game with buzzers, cost the kid nearly 6 bucks to ship it to me well packaged, i thought a tip was deserved

And today's winner for the "completely missing the point" award...
My copy of Jade Empire (PC) was a casualty of our move, and when I requested one here it came within two days and in nearly new condition with excellent commiunication. Wonderful person deserved a tip!

I had the pleasure of trading with goomba478. 'Nuff said.

I received Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection from a newer user much like Lurk, and left a tip. Everything was in great condition and shipped fast. I was happy to leave a tip.

Same here, I haven't left a tip yet either, but I recieved a tip for sending out Super Mario Sunshine cuz the guy thought it was worth more points then it sold for.
I've sent out two tips for sealed games. Tiger Woods 2005 and Fifa Street 2 both for gamecube.

I present to you the runner up for "completely missing the point".
I think I've left about 10 tips and recived about 7. I never regretted any of them.
I recently tipped a fellow Goozexer for being a phenomenal trader when I received Dracula: Origin for the pc. The game was sent almost immediately upon match, in pristine condition, with excellent communications and fast shipping.
Actually, most of my requests are very tip deserving. I must be the luckiest Goozer of us all.
I left a tip recently for a wonderful user who sent me Eragon for my Achievement Whoring. He made sure to stop playing NCAA long enough to ship it to me.
I've given 2 tips so far... the first was for a factory sealed copy of DMC3 Remix(and I likely will tip other fs games I receive) and the second was a few days ago.
I had had Viewtiful Joe 2 on my request list at 150 for disc only, and I got matched twice for it and had two outright rejections (not timeouts... people logging in and specifically turning down the trade), and then a third user agreed to send the game right after the price had gone down to 100 points. That user sent it out on the 15th, and I got a full package on Wednesday.
I thought that was more than worth a tip.
Just a couple days ago I received Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for the PC, and it was factory sealed so that was tip worthy.
My most memorable tip was when I sent a $5 paypal tip to a trader - I can't go into detail on that one because the G-Team really saved my bacon and I'm not sure if they went against standard protocol or not - but suffice to say the G-Team pulled through for me (as they always have when trades go awry).
I traded for FF :Tactics and got a brand new sealed game 2 days after it was accepted....I definately tipped for that!
