The YOIS Waiting List


This list is an effort toward two purposes:

(1) To give collectors the opportunity to sign up in advance for items, to they don't have to keep checking the Shoppe for them. Newly-added items are matched against the waiting list, and if a user has requested that item, it is immediately reserved for that person. (2) To hook collectors up with one another, in order to trade items that might not pass through the Shoppe for quite some time.

Click the "RESERVE A GAME" button below if you'd like to put on this list for one or more items. (You must be registered and signed into YOIS before you can join the waiting list.)

If you have an item that someone else is looking for, and you are willing to sell it, please get in touch with that person through e-mail to work out the details of the exchange. (You will need to remove the anti-spam string from the person's e-mail address before you can successfully contact them.)

Things to keep in mind:

I cannot vouch for the reputation of every person who may come across this board. Please don't ask me to resolve disputes that may arise. Sellers, be honest. I will post warnings here if complaints arise about a particular individual.

Assume complete games are desired unless stated otherwise. For Infocom titles, assume grey box packages unless stated otherwise.

Sellers, try to offer items to the first person requesting them. The list is not alphabetized, requests are in the order in which they were received. Later requests by the same person are added to the bottom of the list, to avoid giving them first priority for everything simply for being high on the list for one item.

Please do not spam the collectors on this list. Only e-mail them if you have one or more of the specific items they are looking to purchase.

Please don't feel obligated to sell to me first. If I have the same item on my want-list as another collector, it's your decision, sell to anyone you choose. I promise not to hold a grudge.
