Brush the Dust Off Your Conquered Games

A website that allows gamers the ability to bypass the traditional game exchagne store. They can trade with each other and receive full market value of the game they exchange.

[ClickPress, Sat Oct 07 2006] PlayerChain.com links gamers together by allowing them to trade games they have for games they want with each other. Unlike the traditional exchange method, members of PlayerChain.com can now receive trade in credit valued at full market price. The founder of this website took the idea of trading games to a new level. He created a method of trade that gives users full market value versus conventional methods which usually returns 20 to 50 percent of the value. The company hopes to give gamers the ability to play more titles on the same budget.

“As an avid gamer myself, I know how it feels to spend $50 on games, then receive $15 back only to be used for store credit,” said Aaron Morrison, founder. “I then watched in awe as another customer purchased the same game title I just traded in for the current market value. PlayerChain.com was created on the basis that gamers should come together and benefit from each other.”

Members place the games they have into their PlayerChain.com inventory, the value of which is created by the owner. The member then searches the database to locate the games they want. Members are asked to disclose the condition of their games, and members rate each other based on reliability and speed of shipping. A credit system called “Game Bucks” has been created so members can trade games for credits, then credits for games, without being restricted to one person. This allows members to value games solely as credits and trade freely with other members nationwide.

“With games costing around $60 these days, the importance of getting more for your buck is at an all-time high,” said Aaron Morrison, President. The website gives hope to forgotten games across the nation by giving its members a reason to trade in any game they own no matter the value. “Now I feel comfortable trading a game I have worth $10 because I can get $10 credit for. If I were to go to a conventional game exchange store I would be lucky to receive $2 in credit.” said Austin Haylock, leisure gamer. The website uses a similar exchange system that has made Netflix successful while providing the functionality and feedback options that has made eBay what it is today. The Zelos Group reported that 52.5 percent of people, who like to play, purchase one game or more every two months. PlayerChain.com hopes to bring more gamers into this bracket due to the savings that come from this service.

Everyone who registers by December 15th will receive 20 free credits. “We’re basically giving away a game just for signing up,” states Aaron Morrison, President. “How many gamers don’t like something for free?”
