I don't know if anyone else dealt with him, but I loved bald guy games. Traded him a lot of commons for a decent amount of trade credit.
He had to shut down his site, and I was hoping some one knew of a similar small business that does retro game trades

Honestly No one has gotten back to me on my trade list. I would really like to thin down my collection and focus on super nintendo and DS

which site do you currently use?

I know if you tried a few years back CAG was good and you still could get decent stuff on goozex, since not so much since retro game collecting is every 12 year old's new hobby lol

I don't know of any trade sites.  I took a look at your list.  I don't have anything listed that you're looking for, but would you consider selling the games on your list? I think you'd get a much greater response especially from people on this site. If you do want to sell (and use the money to get games you're looking for) I'd be interested in a few.

Like I said I was using bald guy games, nothing since.  I have tried CAG but could never work anything out.
 I have actually been bumping the same list in the CAG trade forum, With no responses.
 I'm really suprised no one jumped on Pokemon: Blue Version. lol.

I would always entertain reasonable offers. But as of today I'm broke till next week (so I don't have money to ship anything, damn DMV)
So If anyone wants to buy something they would either have to wait until next week, or wait for the money to clear from PayPal to my bank account to ship

theres not much else, I know there are site like gamegavel and nintendoage, but nintendoage for example loves to inflate random prices and everyone there uses hipster words like "minty"

You must be in California. DMV fees here are absurd. I just went through that myself.

Pokemon blue is one I would be interested in. Depends what you want for it. I'd like to see pictures of a few. Want me to hop over to the trade list thread or go by PM?

jjgames.com is ok but I think they require a system and at least 10 games each time you trade so it may not be the best unless you have extra systems laying around. You could also do Amazon, last time I checked their prices were pretty descent and you get a giftcard that can be spent on anything on their site.

I've been using 99Gamers since it launched.

You don't sell them to the site, it more like a personal store font and you buy/sell games using their credit system.
I've had a lot of luck thinning out my doubles and picking up some decent titles, site is still pretty new, but its been growing at a good rate.

Just added a bunch of games on 99Gamers, several of which are not on my trade list. (including mario party 1 & 2 for N64)
and added a link to my page on my signature.

yeah, pretty much what happened to goozex. I only listed a few things I dont care much about and if it does take off we would be in a position to snatch up stuff
