Message From The Founder
In the fall of 2003, I said to myself: "It would be cool if I could trade games with other people, not just my friends". After attempting to find some sites online, I realized there was nothing out there like what I was envisioning. So, I scraped together some cash and built SwitchGames; the first game trading web application to ever exist. I built SwitchGames with no commercial intent at all…just as a good place to trade games with other gamers.

As I continued to trade games with other users, I listened to their feedback and continued to add more features and functionality that I wanted on the site. Fast-forward almost five years, and many revisions later, I decided it was time take SwitchGames from a hobby and take it to the next level.

SwitchGames has been and will continue to be a 100% free game trading community. I promise to consistently improve the user experience and live by our mission to "Empower, Respect, and Protect" the game community. At SwitchGames, we stand by the code:

• Empower The Gamer
  SwitchGames is putting the power of trading back into the hands of the game community. As gamers, you will always decide what fair value for your game is.
• Respect The Gamer
  SwitchGames will only offer products and services that are of value to the game community. Furthermore, we will never require our community to pay us to participate in trading.
• Protect The Gamer
  The SwitchGames Marketplace is a peer to peer marketplace, where members never trade anything with SwitchGames directly, but with each other. We are dedicated to actively monitoring the site and working with our community to provide tools and services to help reduce fraud, and ensure safe trading.

I hope you find SwitchGames to be your choice when it comes to trading games, consoles, and accessories. I look forward to your continued feedback and greatly encourage you to contact us with comments and suggestions.

Game on!
