eBay for Gamers
I don't know how many people out there are buying their video games from eBay (I buy my used games at EB) but a new site just launched dedicated to just buying and selling new and used computer and video games. Sort of like eBay for gaming, GameSwapZone.com launched a few weeks ago and it seems like a pretty interesting idea.
The site seems to contain your "standard" online auction capabilities such as rating systems and buyer feedback, an optional "Buy It Now" feature, and the ability for people to create their own online store. Plus, anyone can create listings, or even post "want ads" for specific games. It should also be noted that the site is owned by the same company that owns Computer Games Magazine and Now Playing Magazine for what it's worth.
So far their selection seems a bit limited but that's sure to grow over time, definitely an interesting idea for finding those rare and hard to find titles.
Hmmm....
Well... that is one way to get games...
I don't like to buy other people's problems... I mean games!
ya know what's already a lot like ebay? EBAY. Thats pretty much where I buy and sell all my games already. It's easier to type 'ebay' than to type 'gameswapzone', I mean that's THREE times as much typing. Plus I'd have to sign up for something new... oh so many reasons why it's stupid.
