I'm starting to have some terrible luck with this site. So far three games I requested that were open for trade from multiple sellers, have timed out and were passed along to the next guy. Turns out a lot of people will just let their games timeout instead of refusing the trade or putting the game on hold. That way, they get first dibs on the next interested buyer and if they are finally ready to part with the game, they accept the trade. This is extremely lame and makes buyers have to wait longer to get the games they want.

I had one game passed along for over 78 hours to three different sellers before I just gave up and used my points for something else.

Yep, think I'll ride out the rest of my points/trades and then call it quits with this one.

Actually I just got an email saying Virtua Tennis will be sent to me. We'll see. I already own Tennis 2k2 but I heard the original was more in touch with that classic Sega style, and the music is supposed to be very different.

:lol: I got the same game, it shipped Friday. I gave up on getting any game I wanted, since everyone just let it time out. Hopefully it's a good game, I got it becuase it was listed as one of the most traded Dreamcast games on there.

Another great experience I just had today...

I listed a game for trade and it matched me with a buyer, so I confirmed and agreed to ship today. I go to USPS before work and mail it out. When I get to work, I check my Goozex account and they've requested a trade cancellation. I checked their profile and they've had dozens of trade cancellations. So it's just like the sellers, people are leaving stuff in their queue to be first just "in case" they want the game. Told the guy sorry and that I wouldn't of agreed to the cancellation even if I hadn't shipped yet.
