I think it might be nice if the three-position radio button condition indicator was instead replaced with two check boxes. Of course, you'll always have the game. That way if you have the game, manual, and case, you could check both the manual and case boxes. The reason I'm suggesting this is I received a game the other day that was marked as "complete" but was missing the manual. Technically the seller should have listed it as "game only" but that's not exactly correct... you know?

I apologize if this has been suggested before. I'd like to surf around and look for it, but for some reason Goozex has a lot of trouble loading on my computer. As an example, this is my fifth attempt to post in this forum.

Thanks.

Yes this has been asked many times, but due to your connection issues I'll reply.

Two things:

- Your situation wouldn't have been helped - the person failed to list accurately, why would they do so otherwise?

- You have to consider how this would impact the matrix match.  The 3 x 3 system can get quite complex in terms of tracking, imagine how it would be with a 'check box' system.  And there are further implications to the feedback system ... and so on.

With the exception of GBA and PC/Mac titles, so few people make Disc Only or Disc & Manual requests that - even if adding a fourth option were feasible - barely anybody would benefit from it.

Every time someone suggests the trading of older games, movies, books, CDs, or sandwiches, R2K kills a baby dinosaur.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm finding that if I hit refresh when the site hangs, then try to click again, it often cooperates. I'm not having the issue on any other site, so I'm not sure where the problem is coming from.

I understand what you're saying. I hit them in feedback for not listing accurately. The reason I brought it up is because it's what made me think of this. When listing the item, the person probably figured, "well, it's not just the game... so..." I understand it wouldn't have changed the situation from where I encountered it, but it may have helped the seller to begin with.

Certainly, I see what you mean. When considering it I figured it would probably make it even harder to find matches by splitting into another possible combination of items.

Again, thanks for your response.

You're right. One of the things I like about Goozex is how streamlined the adding process is, and here I am trying to complicate it.
