wish I had seen this sooner, and yes I can help

Bubble mailer is a definite no, at least by itself

Here's what you do:

  • Go to the post office, take some small priority flat rate boxes. They are like 2X6X9 or something close to that

  • go to Dollar Store(I use Dollar Tree typically)

  • either buy a roll of this for $1 or get some padded mailers(the bigger ones, #2 maybe?)

  • get some bubble wrap

    Now for the shipping part:

  • wrap that jewel case as good and tight as you can with the bubble wrap

  • jam it in the flat rate box. Close it, make sure its not going to move and that all sides are protected

  • seal it off, like you typically would if you were using this as your mailing method

  • (now the fun part)

  • Either stuff the box in the bubble mailer(yes it will fit, just go in straight and be careful) or wrap the box up really good(like a gift) in the kraft paper, and tape the shit out of that bitch, making sure to cover all the seams

    your $5 priority mail flat rate box is now just any random box, your game is protected, and it should cost about $2.50 to ship with Paypal

    I've done this with at least 200 of my trades, never a problem

despite not having anything on your want list, I wanted to ask about the Wavebirds. have you tried taking them apart and cleaning them? are there dead spots on the actual boards? it might benefit you to take them apart and dust them. that helped me with a wired Gamecube controller that had a sticky X button and one of the sticks acting weird; now it's in perfect working order. if you're able to find the receivers, that would also help you be able to get rid of them. people rarely want controllers with no receivers, and you also can't very well test them without at least one.

if you don't have a tri-wing, you might have some luck taking them apart with a small flathead screwdriver. I did that before spending $3 on the tri-wing one that worked pretty well since I was careful and didn't force it badly enough to destroy the heads of the screws. I know from experience that the tri-wing screwdriver works for Gamecube controllers, the DS Lite, and GBA carts. I've also read that it will help dismantling Wiimotes, the Wii itself, the Gamecube console, and quite a few other of Nintendo's things. it's worth the $4 if you have any technical knowledge and would trust yourself taking things apart. which I understand many people wouldn't, which is also fine.

and actually, upon further inspection, and after clicking the link to your full want list, that was a lie. I do have a spare copy of Wind Waker without a manual, but I certainly won't be trading that for some half-dead controllers with no receivers, especially if the boards are what's shot.

also, I'm pretty sure that Platinum Game Boy Players were Japan only, and are relatively rare, so I wish you the best of luck finding one. I would love to have my Game Boy Player match my beautiful platinum system, along with its controllers and two of my Wavebirds, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be, and I don't care enough to invest in such a swap when there are games I could be getting instead.

For all of you looking for a steal on bubble mailers, [look no further] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GHXWUC/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). 100 sturdy bubble envelopes for less than 20 dollars! These bad boys are big enough to fit 2 xbox game cases in comfortably. If you've ever traded with me, these are the ones I use.

And also, shipping via paypal is ~1.73 for me, and that's just using Media Mail* (See edit). First class is more expensive than that.

And I posted this on the other thread, but since you're asking for feedback here as well, I'll say it here too:

Also, love the new theme guys. The sub seems more clean, the tabs up top aren't intrusive which is nice, especially when browsing from my mobile browser. The only thing I think would suggest is to maybe use a pastel color rather than the shade of red you used in the sidebar. I really like that shade of red, but it doesn't quite fit in with the theme and kind of clashes with the blue. Any other options for color schemes? In my experience, pastel colors tend to blend in better with light themes. However, this is solely my opinion, and honestly I usually opt for darker themes. Have you guys considered moving away from a lighter white theme towards a darker theme?

I also noticed that when using headers in comments, they are no longer colored.

Is there any way to change that back to how it was?

Thanks!

EDIT: Concerning my usage of media mail, use at your own risk. It's for "educational purposes", according to the USPS, and if they suspect what you are shipping isn't for educational purposes apparently they will open it up, and then RTS and charge you the difference. It's never happened with me, and I will continue to use it until they do and just risk it, since it is much cheaper than first class mail. Use at your own risk.

EDITx2: Concerning your note that labels only print in IE, that is incorrect. I print using Chrome on both my Mac and PC and it works fine for me.

You could always toss some money towards this. I've got a black one (it says Microsoft on it instead of XBOX 360 but is called the same thing) and it works great. And with this you can use all your wireless xbox controllers with it.

EDIT: Turns out that one I linked is a third party wireless dongle, but the reviewers say it works just like the first party one. One of my friends has this one and he doesn't have any trouble.

u/Zacharuni · 1 pointr/gameswap

Sure. Looking over your collection it seems like this might interest you as well? Can add pictures of that as well should you like.

I have interest in:

[Pikachu and Eevee Joycon Pair]

[Kingdom Hearts III]

[Katamari Demacy Reroll]

[Danganronpa 1 2 Reload]

[Odin Sphere]

[Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee Pokeball Bundle] <-- All I really want is the pokeball?

u/TheRodofGod · 1 pointr/gameswap

The goty title has all the DLC and I would be happy to trade that for champions. PM me and we can work out the details.

The CE is in a large clear plastic package with a batarang and has never been opened... and now that you had me researching it, looks like it may be worth a little more than I was giving it credit for.

I wasn't using opportunist bids. I found 3 auctions for each game and averaged them. If I were wanting to use opportunist bids, I would've only used 1 auction. 3 auctions pointing to the same thing is not 'opportunist' it's an average. Also, if you click on 'completed auctions' on the VGPC page, you'll see that the previous 3 before the most recent (exorbitantly priced) auction, are all at the $20 mark. Furthermore, Amazon is a horrible gauge of price, since they're typically 20-30% above FMV.

Also, about the eBay 'buy it now' auctions. You didn't even use completed auctions. You can list an item at any price you want, it doesn't mean it's going to sell for that price.

Using my numbers, if you didn't read the whole thing, you'll see that the average number for Path of the Furon was for a complete copy. Was his copy complete? No, no it wasn't. Also, I used the '~' symbol, which means about.

Also, you talk about me using inaccurate prices, when you use 20-30% above FMV prices, you don't look at the completed auctions, and you look at one (obviously way too high) number on VGPC, instead of using the completed auctions they conveniently provided on the page. I'm sorry, but that's wholly inaccurate. That's like me saying that my OoT is worth $40 because that's the cheapest copy with a game + manual in good condition. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00000DMB3/sr=8-1/qid=1344790552/ref=olp_page_next?ie=UTF8&colid=&coliid=&condition=used&me=&qid=1344790552&shipPromoFilter=0&sort=sip&sr=8-1&startIndex=30 it's flat out wrong.

Lastly, I know I stretched it a little bit, but I explained that's because I have personal attachment to the game. I stated it very clearly on my list. It's not like I was asking for Chrono Trigger for it, I was asking for what would be fair to get it off my hands. Which, that being said, isn't even that much of a monetary difference.

I'm sorry you're stuck on your wholly wrong estimations of value. I'd love to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. Thank you, and good day.

u/Kurokaito · 1 pointr/gameswap

Sorry to burst in again, but going through your list again, I do have some figurines and a couple other seasons of anime you may like. I'd also include Baka and Test, I don't want what it's worth, so maybe we could work out a dealio.

I have this little figure still with it's original box:

http://www.amazon.ca/Butler-Phantomhive-Nendoroid-Action-Figure/dp/B003LO27L2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394571643&sr=8-1&keywords=ciel+nendoroid

I do also have the full series of Kaichou-wa Maid-sama on DVD, but I'm not entirely sure I want to trade it off yet.
Also have 1-8 of the Manga. Very good series, haha.

u/jbigboote · 3 pointsr/gameswap

keep in mind, if you want to play any of the ME2 DLC (even the "free" DLC), you need the Cerberus Network code that comes with new copies. That code costs $15 on Xbox live. the game sells for $20 new these days, and I've seen deals for less from time to time.

Not that you need any of the DLC to enjoy the game, you certainly do not. But if, at the conclusion of the game, you really liked it, and want to keep playing, you are really going to want some or all of the DLC. And if you have the DLC in the beginning, it can make the game a little easier, as you have more stuff you can acquire sooner.

u/guineapigtacosauce · 1 pointr/gameswap

Not sure why, but I'm sensing a bit of anger in your post.

If they are CIB, then maybe you should list them as such instead of putting "Nintendo DS (Most Cartridge Only)" right above your list, just a helpful suggestion. xD

And as for the price of the 2 games:

Kingdom Hearts RE:Coded Brand New For $20.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Brand New For $20.

Not sure why you are even posting when you don't have an offer? No reason to be angry...

u/Point4ska · 1 pointr/gameswap

I've barely worn the shirt and that's not the same shirt. As well but Conker is somewhat rare. Although I feel likewise and wish you the best of luck.

u/lukeman3000 · 1 pointr/gameswap

I don't have a widescreen monitor (that I'd be willing to sell/trade), but I do have a 1708FPb Dell 17" flat screen panel. It's in like-new condition, and has not been used that much.

It's a little smaller than what you're looking for, and it's 4:3 aspect ratio (which is probably not exactly what you want), but hey, I'd trade it for something if you were interested.

You can easily hook your xbox up to it. However, you will need the vga adapter. Looks like they're pretty cheap, though.

u/allspark117 · 1 pointr/gameswap

how appropriate that you edited both of your comments so you could seem like the good guy here.

It depends on the perspective of people. If you don't think this is a fair deal that's honestly fine. Just don't be an arse about it.

And i never asked for huge ps3 titles. i merely asked for ps3 offers. And that could mean anything.

Which means it could mean something like this or even this.

thanks for commenting anyways.

u/sandman2330 · 1 pointr/gameswap

anything for kingdom hearts ps2????
http://www.reddit.com/r/gameswap/comments/1j5dfe/usahlist360genesiswsega_genesis_av_cable_halo_4/

EDIT just noticed you have a genesis
by any chance do you have This AV cable for This model??

u/ootuoyetahi · 1 pointr/gameswap

I think ~$100 is fair. With that you would be getting a PS ViTA (3g capable model including cables), these grips, a 4GB vita memory card, an 8GB memory card, Mortal Kombat, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy X-2 shipped to anywhere in the US.

u/Endymion86 · 1 pointr/gameswap

Amazon could always be an option then, as you can get it used directly through them (see the top option) and it qualifies for free shipping, plus you can drop ship.

Just sayin'.
