In college? Trade on Goozex for free photo

I remember being in college. It seemed like everything that involved money was a hassle. I had to be that guy. I had to almost always interject that I did not have enough money to go out and eat. Or see a movie. Or buy deodorant. Being poor as sh*t is almost a rite of passage into adulthood.

The folks at Goozex knows all about the college money situation. If you're that guy, to help you out, Goozex is waiving their fee for selling videogames and movies on their fantastic games trading service. Buy and sell for free, if you're a college student. Nice, huh?

All you need to get this fee-less trading going on is a .edu email address. That's it! The promotion runs from now through January 31st.

There's already a savings in buying games at Goozex, and now you save a little bit more. Put that toward cheap beer, condoms, and Dollar Menu items for lunch.

Or you could be a student in the UK - given as much money as someone on an average wage, most of which is to be spent on alcohol, drugs and club admissions, then to have to pay it back at fuck-all-a-month for the rest of your life.

Most heavy gaming prevents the need to purchase condoms.

Thought this would be cool but apparently it doesn't go before disc based consoles. Boo.

Yaaay! I'm so poor. Goozex is great for doing this. Time to finally put my 1100 points to good use.

This is actually the reason why I signed up for Goozex: because I didn't have the cash to spend on a pack of gum, much less games. And Dimnos, mate, exchanges are a dollah a piece.

I graduated a few years ago, but now I work at my university and have the same .edu address. Hell yeah.

I bought 30 tokens and requested three games literally the morning before they announced this. GAH!
Oh well, now I don't feel bad requesting all those 100 point games I wanted to try out. Kameo time!

Also: @fromagex

You can totally do that. Just change your main email to a .edu address and you'll be good. All our .edu addresses are just aliases, so they forward to my main email anyway. I've gotten three trades accepted since then and they didn't take tokens. Yay!
This is also perfect timing as I just bought a DS Lite.

Goozex is awesome! Im not in school, but either way their movie trades are free for everyone for the duration. I'm so glad i found them and stopped getting raped by gamestop! Ive been using their site for almost 2 years and so far have sent out 108 games and received 133! (much of that was from when i sold my Wii and traded the games for ps3 and psp games)

Gah. Semesters are almost over, so any real benefits would occur during time where players can't afford the time to play games: Finals Week.
