Used Video Game Retailer On and Offline

[sirgeoph]

I checked the rules, and I'm assuming this is cool.

I work for The GameTrader, where we buy, sell, trade, and rent new and used games and DVDs.

We just relaunched our webstore (though official relaunch is Nov. 1st) and have already added a few dozen items to the inventory. We have thousands of games in our office, we just haven't gotten the inventory counts on the site updated yet, so if something says it's out of stock, be patient. We get alot of rare and hard-to-find stuff... just sold a TurboDuo to a guy today.

I oversee the web department, so you'd more than likely be dealing with me.

I might suggest that you have the prices up for the stuff you don't have in stock - so I can see if it's worth checking back or not!

But decent site overall... good luck.

Will there be a section with a list of the games for sale for each system? That would be a great deal easier looking through the games.

[sirgeoph]

you can go to advanced search and leave the keytword field blank and just select the system

I get an ODBC Driver error when searching system only... I'd like to take a look but, alas I can not

[sirgeoph]

what system did you select? it's working fine for me

[AlanD]

The system search worked. I chose a system and it showed every game that you had whether in stock or not. I think what Habeeb Hamusta and I agree with is just show the stuff you actually have in stock. For example, I searched TG-16 and there was nothing for sale on the whole first page and 4 more pages to go through. It would be more user-friendly to show me the 2-3 titles you do have. And to press the point home, I have no idea if you have anything for sale after page 2 because after both pages having nothing for sale I just quit going through them as it seemed a waste of time.

Site looks and works nice other than that point.

Good idea... perhaps I'll add an option to return in-stock items only

[sirgeoph]

I've added an option in advanced search to search for in stock items only, as well as added the prices for out of stock items. You can also request an out of stock item and we'll contact you when we get it in.
