Babooo Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I was just wandering if the idea of temporary loans might kick off. Instead of buying games off other members, you can just loan them out for a month or so and then send them back after the loan period. What do you think? To make things clearer, for example, I would lend out my old copy of Mass Effect to someone in return for their copy of FEAR. And then after the loan period, you would send tha games back. In that way, someone is getting to play my copy of Mass Effect, whilst I get to play a new game! Some basic tips when trading: 1) It's highly recommended you send games by recorded delivery - this allows you to claim (up to £36) in the event of a game going missing, and also verifies that the game has been received. When it comes to returning games you MUST use recorded delivery, as you're sending someone else's property. 2) It's highly recommended you send only the game disc in a jewel case/plastic cover (not the full boxed game with manual). This minimises the likelihood of someone stealing your game as it's much more difficult to sell on a disc on its own. It also reduces postage costs! 3) To avoid unnecessary clutter, exchanges should be discussed by PM.

nightwolf Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I would be incredibly wary about members and myself lending out items..whats to say you get them back?
Babooo Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 I would be incredibly wary about members and myself lending out items..whats to say you get them back? There's always gonna be an element of risk but what could be done, is only send the disk itself in a dvd case to minimise people trying to keep/sell them on.
chrizkerr2 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Maybe instead of a loaning thing, a 1:1 lend might be better... i.e I lend you Mass Effect, you lend me Blue Dragon, something like that.
rokhed00 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 The selling/trading feedback could be used as a measure of peoples trustworthyness.
Sanchez Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 This is a fairly good idea, I'd do this for some of the shittier games I wouldn't be willing to spend money on.
Babooo Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Maybe instead of a loaning thing, a 1:1 lend might be better... i.e I lend you Mass Effect, you lend me Blue Dragon, something like that. Thats what I was thinking of in the first place...maybe I didn't set it out clearly enough.... This is a fairly good idea, I'd do this for some of the shittier games I wouldn't be willing to spend money on. Yeh exactly or for older games that people are a bit bored with and wouldn't mind trading with other members. Post your name in this thread (in favour of the scheme) and I'll try to make a group of some sort on NE! : peace: : peace:
nightwolf Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Ah I see what you mean now, originally it just seemed that one person loans and gets nothing in return, at least with selling you have paypal etc. It is a nice idea, somebody may have to keep track specially if it's a monthly basis, four weeks and you may tend to forget.
Ellmeister Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah I like sounds of this, I haven't got many games though but yeah sure whatever.
Babooo Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah I like sounds of this, I haven't got many games though but yeah sure whatever. Awesome! I'll make a list of interested members and maybe you could post a list of your games up? Then I'll add it to the first post.
rokhed00 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I'd be up for this if it was a multiformat thing.
Babooo Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 I'd be up for this if it was a multiformat thing. I guess there's no harm in that. As long as you clearly specify which format...obviously. For those of you who are interested, post lists of games that you have to trade, and games that you would like in return. Then I'll update the original post. Look at my first post and see how I did it for guidance.

triforce_keeper Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Hey rokhed, wanna trade Mario Kart Wii for zelda? Don't mind how long for ^_^
Babooo Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Great idea Interested in? Can't think. Just ask XD I would be interested in this. Games up for Trade 360 Forza 2 Guitar Hero 2 The Orange Box Guys, you are much more likely to get a trade if you actually post a list of games you want in return. It will only elongate the process if members start asking if X would be ok to trade with. Basically it would be much easier as it will lead to posts such as this: Hey rokhed, wanna trade Mario Kart Wii for zelda? Don't mind how long for ^_^ P.S Updated original post showing complete list of potential trades as well as some tips when trading!
Calza Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I would be interested in pretty much any RPG or as well as other games on the 360 so; Blue Dragon Mass Effect Enchanted Arms Oblivion Virtura Fighter V

Calza Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I've replied to your PM mate. lol can't believe that. I meant to type Eternal Sonata but I put Enchanted Arms instead. I would be intrested in Enchanted Arms though even if it is pretty old (and a bit shit). Anyway its Eternal Sonata I'm really after especially after Rob's glowing review of it.
