Cheapy Awards
Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS
– Goozex, Inc., the leading online video game trading community, announced that it received the Cheapy Award for the Best Game Trading Website category. Goozex received over 78% of the votes in its group from participating Cheap Ass Gamer (CAG) members. Below is the official CAG statement regarding the award:
“Goozex's original take on video game trading won them the admiration of many CAG traders and one of the biggest landslide victories in this year's Cheapy Awards.
Instead of swapping directly with other users, Goozex traders trade their games for Goozex Points, and then use those points to get other games from other Goozex users. Although the system may seem unorthodox, it clearly works well for the CAG community.”
This is the first year the Best Game Trading Website category has been open to voting by CAG members. The 5th Annual Cheapy Awards recognizes the best (and worst) in video game consumer sites and stores.
“In many ways this is the best award Goozex can receive because it is a validation by members who use our services,” said Mark Nebesky, co-founder and CMO of Goozex. Mark continued “Receiving 78% in the voting contest is an amazing achievement that we are extremely proud of. We believe Goozex has struck a chord with gamers by offering a hassle free service where members can preserve the value of their games and get other games for practically next-to-nothing. We also take great measures to listen to our customers and exceed their demands on the operations of Goozex.”
Goozex also provided a video acceptance speech that can be found on Youtube.com or the link below:
