Dont know if this is in the right place here....or if someone will have an issue(s) with it..

But Gamegavel.com members become free life timers tonight or you can join up today and you can have a free life time membership too.

Sounds like a awesome deal to me, I hope some people here could use it and we all can help each other out!

Come on its free and the more that join the more we will use it.

Well now I have no excuse not to sell some items.

[nonner242]

Thats what I was hoping to hear

[SpendTooMuchOnAtari]

Yeah, I just received the email about this, very exciting! Like someone said above, I will have no reason to not post some things and give it a try. I just joined about a week ago to buy a 7800 game I needed and now this is happening. What good timing to become a member!

 

It will be nice to be able to sell some lower priced games that aren't really worth selling on ebay because of all the fees. Alot of time I find myself wondering, "is this really worth posting when they take up to 15%?".

 

I look forward to giving the selling a try, can't hurt since it will be free! Thanks to the OP for putting this up,

I wonder when this starts? I just tried to upgrade my account to a seller account and it still asks me to "Subscribe" through paypal. I'm all set to list some items but I guess the free seller account thing hasn't happened yet. Anyone know when this is supposed to be implemented?

I re-read the email I received and answered my own question:

 

"Our goal is to have everyone’s accounts upgraded by this Wednesday, November 16. A notification will be emailed to all existing members letting you know that it is completed and you can list and sell for free from here on out."

Just in case you're not a member or are a member and didn't get the email, I have copied and pasted it, in case someone wants to read it. It's a long one but here goes:

 

 

Hello everyone,

As you know we have been hammering out GameGavel for almost four years. In this time it has sold a few hundred thousand dollars for our sellers but it needs a big time boost! So we are making the decision to upgrade everyone's account to a FREE SELLER ACCOUNT. So, if you are a member of GameGavel you will now have a free account for life on our system. And if you know any gamers that might want to get in on this deal, please let them know they have until this evening to get this premium account.

 

We are currently sitting at 5700 members. We have grown our Facebook fan page to over 5,000 members. We figure we have around 10,000 unique people tied to the site in some form or fashion and want to take this base of users/fans to help us turn up the volume to 10!

 

The one potential disadvantage of opening up this many free seller accounts is that sellers won't have a vested interest in running quality listings since you are paying nothing. So I beg all of you to educate yourselves on the items you are listing and create a listing that will sell your item or promote bidding (quality item photos, descriptions, realistic selling prices/starting bids/reserves, etc). Unlike eBay, you aren't being charged anything, so please step it up and create a listing that would entice you as a buyer.

 

Next, promoting your listings is a must. You all are used to promoting your eBay listings in the forums. You have to do the same thing with your GameGavel listings. There is more competition than ever for your items and you need to do your best to promote them to the people in your gaming circles.

 

It is my hope this will reinvigorate all of you with GameGavel accounts to step it up and come together so we can all show the gamers in the country, millions of them, we have a better alternative to eBay and they should all come over here to buy and sell.

 

After the mass upgrade has been completed, those of you who have set up subscriptions through our system using Paypal can go into your Paypal accounts and cancel your subscriptions so our system won't be charging you anymore. Please wait to do this until we notify you the upgrade has been completed so you won’t lose your existing listings (if applicable).

 

Please help us and your fellow gamers by listing a few things and promoting your listings on the forums you visit and also on our fast growing Facebook fan page http://www.facebook/gamegavel. We are slowly developing that critical mass needed to compete with eBay but still have a long way to go. Thanks again to all of you and I hope many of you will take advantage of this offer.

 

Our goal is to have everyone’s accounts upgraded by this Wednesday, November 16. A notification will be emailed to all existing members letting you know that it is completed and you can list and sell for free from here on out.

FYI, you have had a free account since June of 2008

My trade box is getting kinda full... I'll see if I can't get around to listing some stuff as well.

[Blackbag]

woohoo, just saw that my GG account was upgraded. I've got a bunch of gaming related stuff to clear out. I'll put it out on GG and see what happens. Thanks!

[AtariLeaf]

Sounds good. I may try this out again. Not sure if I got the email about this as I just realized I had to update my contact info and if it went out, it went to an email account that is no longer active.

Your account is upgraded.

Is it too late to get in on this if I sign up tonight? I forgot to go for it last night.

Go ahead and register. We are swiping one more time in the morning so any stragglers can still get signed up tonight, but this is your last chance GameSniped is promoting on their homepage today so cutoff is tonight, midnight Eastern.

Well, this is good timing. With a baby on the way very soon, I've been re-examining what I should keep and what I can let go, so this will be a good way to do it, once I start cleaning out the basement.

 

Unfortunately, the first thing I've been looking at on there is what else to add to my collection LOL.

 

It's a sickness.

Aw man, I don't get out of work until Midnight (EST).. I guess I will be trying to register from my smartphone!

 

*edit: That was easier than expected! I'm registered now.

 

**double edit: Registered for selling now!

I got an email today, saying my account is upgraded!

 

 

I think this may be a good move, for Gamegavel. Certainly bodes for more stuff being listed, and therefore popularity with buyers.

[IntellivisionDude]

I didn't get an email so i don't know if i'm upgraded or not.

 

Also i just tried to update my credit card info and it kept telling me it failed. hmm.

Going to have to get off my butt and use GameGavel. Just signed up now, hopefully I shall be upgraded in time. If not, it's my own fault for not signing up earlier. Got lots I need to get photographed for sale, once work slows down a bit.

[atari2atari]

Decided to give it a go and signed up as myself - - If I can slide into the upgrade (late, sorry!) maybe I will list some of the items in my for-sale that are lingering!

 

Thanks for creating an alternative!
