It’s a great site. I actually just recently purchased from it and to be honest, I have never purchased an item and got confirmation in under 3 hours that my product was being shipped. I buy a lot of crap online and it takes average at best maybe a day to get a delivery confirmation. That is what really impressed me with the site. Great job. And if I tried to get my game on Ebay, the last time it took me like 2 weeks and the game was scratched. Bah humbug. So, do it!!! Check it out, you won’t me sorry

Great site! Dawdle is the best place for buying and selling anything game-related. I rarely play games, but I would use this over eBay or Amazon any day!

And here’s to hoping this is available overseas. I’m sick of trading my “still new” games for next to nothing!

You say this like getting VC actually means that your company will be successful…

Just to be clear, Dawdle is for buying and selling games, systems, and accessories for cash money. We don’t facilitate trades. For trades, we recommend Goozex.

That said, there are over 3,000 independent brick-and-mortar stores and millions of gamers and lapsed gamers in the United States alone. We help all of them sell online for cash money with a site built for the product (just like StubHub does for tickets).

We are very, very bullish about our prospects – niche marketplaces have been able to raise quite a bit of money, even in this economy (Etsy, Foodzie, etc.) as we help bring together disparate buyers and sellers by reducing barriers to entry.

Is video game trading a big enough market? There have been a lot of companies that have tried this and have failed. How does Dawdle compete with the ease of brick and morter stores like Gamestop which have a much lower barrier to entry?

I can’t wait for them to add video game trailers and personal reviews to the site. I think an Amazon for video games is a great niche.

Thank you so much for the kind words!

We’ve spent a lot of time on “fit and polish” parts of the site – StandingOffers, our search screening, the way we handle credit cards, etc. – and it’s always great to have someone acknowledge them.

They just started; unless they cluster dump thousands of dollars in to ads they’re not going to have tons of traffic.

Even though there are fewer buyers, there’s also fewer sellers to compete with. And let’s be honest, Ebay is an abortion. Here’s hoping this takes off.

It’s going to be very hard for them to compete with Amazon and eBay who hold the lion’s share in the online video games sales market.

On a scale of bedroom startup or venture capital based startup ideas, I’d have to say I put this one in the bedroom.

There are some really amazing features to this Web site. As well as great branding execution. I think this is definitely heading into things full steam, I wouldn’t doubt Dawdles huge success in the very near future.

A store without traffic is next to useless. If you want to sell excess inventory, go on eBay or Amazon or Overstock and sell it there in 1/100th of the time if will take you on this site.
