What if we could trade, sell, or buy games right on the site.  We could make offers, or see if someone has a game your looking for at a good price.  I don\'t know if this has been tried, or if it\'s more trouble than its worth.  Just throwing it out.

I like the idea.  Although I don\'t have crap anyone would want.  I could definitely see where i could buy a game for cheap,

It\'s a good idea, IMO. A forum where you could trade or sell games with other members... very very interesting. I like the idea.

I think a WTB,FS,Trade forum would be a GREAT idea. Old consoles, gaems..peripherals etc.

I could see some getting ripped on of deals and such, but people could also use COD and other forms of safe trade like if a long standing and well respected member were to have some sort of consign service.

MOst forums from automotive to home theatre have these. Id be all for it.

I\'m bringing this thread back to life.  Aftrer trading a couple of games over at TXB and XBA, I have to say that a swap meet, or trading post forum would be an incredible addition to the site.  No more getting 1/3 the value of a game on a trade-in at EB, instead you can trade your beaten and disliked games for things that suit your needs better.
