Game trading site?

Someone posted (LOOOONG ago) a website where you could go on, list all your games and stuff you had for trade and it would match you with other people who had what you wanted and wanted what you had. Anyone know the name of said website?
 
Heck, it doesn't really matter what it is, I just need to sign up for one of 'em. Is Goozex the most popular?
 
I doubt goozex is the one you're looking for, but I do recommend it. It works a little differently than you describe though.

W/ goozex you put your games up for 'sale' and they're worth a certain amount of points. When somebody requests that game you get an email to accept it, then they give you the address to send it to. When they confirm they got it you get your points... once you've traded enough you no longer have to wait for your points, and you get them once you confirm you shipped it.

You constantly add games to your 'wants' list and it puts you in line to get the game. When you have enough points for a game it'll try to match you up with a seller if you're near the top of the list.

One caveat, you also need 'trade credits' to request a game which cost money to goozex. They're $1 a piece (discounts for bulk buys) which is a small price to pay for them to keep the site going IMO.

I've sent 20 games and received 8 over my 1 1/2 year or so there, and I've only had 1 time where the guy never shipped me the game. After starting a claim though they gave me my points back within a week.
 
I'm also using goozex but it doesn't feel like it's as big as people say. Anyways Make sure you sign up with an EDU email so you get unlimited trades.
 
I've used Goozex before. I even had someone send me a game from the states for 100 points. He probably spent more shipping the game than he would have spent just buying the points.
 
Hrm, so...I searched my matches. There's a few people but, say, they have one thing I want and I have 4 matches. If I click offer does it offer all 4 of mine for theirs or what?
 
I've had some really good luck with swaptree.com gametz had a bit clunky of a user interface for my tastes. Swaptree was pretty user friendly.
