The Officiak Org Swap Shop.

The RIAA can...nevermind. Don't get me started...

At any rate, this sounds like a good idea except for a few things... GBB, since you started the topic, what are you offering up and what are you looking for in return? Also, what guarantee do we have that if I send you per say, Supreme Commander, that I will get MTW in return and that you won't screw me over and keep my Supreme Commander and not send MTW? Yeah... Good idea though.

Also, fix your title... Officiak should be Official

Thanks

Does the RIAA have any power outside of America? Just wondering. And yes, the RIAA are a set of penises, but I suppose they've got to justify their jobs somehow.

Well, there's the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), but I suspect there are little RIAAs in most every major economic zone. Don't know if they're all as crazy out-of-control as the one we have in the U.S., however.

I'm going to look through my games and see which ones I never intend to play again. I know that copy of Gun for PC isn't going back in the drive. I'd happily trade it for a copy of the original Deus Ex.

I believe reselling is legal in almost any country in the world, though not really popular for PC games. It doesn't always work with games that have a license code I believe (or very special copyright protection).

I'm all for it if some more Europeans would join, paying postage to the US doesn't sound like the best idea ever. BTW should this be in the Arena ?

Oh well, anyone interested in a copy of Planescape Torment ?(just the cd case and the game, I don't think i still have the manual or box) Silent Storm, Black&White or Against Rome ?

Anyone willing to trade for a copy of Tribes: Vengeance, Unreal Tournament 2003 or Black and White 2?

I seriously think this whole swap-shop thing is a great idea, and i'll be more than willing to do it. I want some new games, but if i was to resell these games to a gameshop, i'd probably only get £10 for them each because they're old and preowned.

BlackAxe do bring up a fine point as what is to stop anyone from just creating a new account and say they are going to trade games but end up just taking yours

**doc_bean** · 03-27-2007, 08:26

Well, I'm not going to trade with people I don't 'know' or have a t least a bit of a reputation on the org...

Besides, when trading old games, it's not like you're risking a vast fortune, I'd consider ebay just a big a risk. I would enjoy some sort of privacy policy though, I'm not fond of the idea of everyone being able to discover my adress, even if I move every few years.

Time to call out the Org lawyers !

I'm sure that everyone here can understand the potential legal problems that this thread presents, including the potential for fraud and the potential for the trading of copyrighted and illegal copies of games and other software.

As such, it must be made clear that neither totalwar.org, telefragged, nor any of the employees or members thereof are in any way accountable for any trades made as a result of this thread.

In addition, a few points need to be raised. Firstly, this is not an 'official' Org initiative, and it should not be seen as such. We cannot and will not facilitate trades publicly. On the same note, no negotiation or finalisation of deals should take place in this thread.

Posting something along the lines of 'Wanted: product x; Offering: product y' is fine, but any further action should be discussed in private.

Take responsibility for your actions, because it's not our job to do so.
